If you are looking for something to do today (8/23), come visit Marley at the 2009 Madison's Pet-Corner Pet Fair.
This morning we gave Marley a new toy, actually a recyclable. Initially she didn't care for it, but eventually it became her favorite toy. Then her "devil" came out; you can see it in her eyes.
She completely destroyed the milk jug. This is the first and last time for this toy because it wreaked havoc with her digestive system - almost as bad as the wood chips.
After completing our outings for the day, a trip to the park was in order to get our Chocolate Marley a bit of exercise and have some fun. The walk exercises the mind and body.
Today the exercise was more mental than physical. It was a constant battle to get her to focus on me and ignore the rambunctious squirrels that claim the park as their home.
Marley's good behavior in the park earned her a trip to the playground. As she hopped up the steps, she wanted to turn left, but I turned right to cross the wobbly bridge. A left turn goes through a tunnel to the slides. After a couple bridge crossings, it was time to slide like an "angel".
Her multiple trips down the slide entertained us and the forty or so children and parents that we shared the playground with. Marley actually seems to enjoy the slide. I think she associates it with the slide at the Dawg Zone where she received treats for climbing and sliding.
Will the devil or angel show up at the pet fair?
