I went over to Twin Lakes Dog Park a couple of weeks ago, right before my two week bout of some viral chest cold. I hadn’t been there since I moved back from Wisconsin this past March. It was so much fun! I must continue to visit dog parks before bitter cold sets in.
Dogs love to greet each other.
Guess who has the ball.
The white German Shepard, Gryffin, served as chief host and greeter.
When the little one arrived, Gryffin took a keen interest. Naturally, the little one panicked.
For some reason, the black dog didn’t trust Gryffin’s enthusiastic invitation to play.
The little one really had no peace of mind until a couple of Huskies showed up later to chase Gryffin around.
This blog was originally titled "Drifting Toward Planet Elderly," and it shared a journey I had with my elderly parents as they both went through their later years battling the complexities of dementia. After both passed on, I changed the title to "Living on Planet Elderly." I am a retiree who is reluctantly adjusting to the reality that she is now elderly. In July of 2021, I relocated to Middleton WI after living in Columbia MO for over 40 years. I decided that I want to experience a new and vibrant location in a cooler climate with lakes...a bucket list item of mine. I have a first cousin who lives in Madison. We have nice childhood memories, and I thought it would be wonderful to spend some time together as elders. It was. AND THEN....in March 2023, I returned to Columbia. I had a wonderful time experiencing the Madison area of Wisconsin, spending time with my cousin, and making some wonderful friends. No regrets.
