Lots of dog walks

Today was 'spa day' for Louise, and when she was picked up, she was smelling fresh. She was also super excited. She couldn't stop running or barking, she was just so happy.

Later on, while taking her on her nightly walk, we ran into a LOT of people who just wanted to stop and give Louise pets. Not a lot of folks all at once, just a lot of people over the duration of the walk. More than usual, at least. One even had her camera with her, and was quick to get a few pictures. I had to help her a bit though, as Louise would turn away from the flash.

Over the last few nights we have also seen some bats at the dog park. They actually fly kind of close, which is neat. I like bats because they eat mosquitoes. For that reason alone, they really can do no wrong in my books. I'm not sure if Louise even noticed them at all.

That sounds like a girl...happy from a day at a spa. I've seen bats around our house, too. Plenty of mosquitoes to eat around here.

I know it is rude to ask a lady her age, but dare I inquire how old Louise is? She's a lovely pug! My own pug gal is 13...

That's a good question. Quite frankly, she has never come clean on that for either my wife or I. We have had her for two years, and our best guess is that she was 5 or 6 at that time.

So we will be optimistic and say she's a young looking 7 year old.

I am with you on the bats. In facts, I'd pay good money to have some shipped down here to eat my mosquitoes!
