Playgrounds, postal carriers, and goose poop

Taking advantage of the over 50 degree day in JANUARY, I decided to take Buzz for a longer walk to Miller Park to have some agility fun on the playground.  Along the way we met a postal carrier who was so excited to give Buzz a cookie, commenting that it was best to make them your friend when they were that small...before they grew up. :)  It seemed like everybody was out walking in the warmth - and every person had to stop and 'pet the cute puppy'.  Buzz got lots of practice sitting nicely for petting....with modest success.  :)

The playground at Miller Park is ideal for puppies, a small, toddler version with nice, open grate steps and several slides.  Buzz showed amazing intuitiveness as he gently stepped off the platform onto the plastic slide and actually walked the whole way down without sliding into oblivion.  I was so amazed at his level of confidence and nerve....good boy!

Playground Fun!
On the way home we had to run the gauntlet of park goose poop...the real puppy emerged...how can one resist all those delicacies!!  So much for the 'smart little boy'. :)   More people visits along the way home and I had one tired puppy when we returned....success!
