New experiences!!!





This was truly a weekend of firsts for our little family. Saturday, among other things, Ginger got her first bath. Was it a success?? I'm still trying to judge. She did just fine with the bath but getting out and drying off was a little bit of a puzzle. The question remains: can a dog get a bath without getting the owners soaking wet? Hmm. Thus far I'm 2:2 (Sunday after the next little first for Ginger she got another bath).
This brings us to the second first ... DOG PARK
So we went down to the Vinoy Dog Park. A nice park just off the Vinoy grounds near the St Pete pier. There is a section for small dogs and other for larger dogs. Of course, Ginger is "small." She was greeted by about 5 little dogs, a few of whom were puppies themselves. She got right into the action. Now for us (new doggie parents) it was kind of hard to watch the dogs play and know that it was just play and not some dog trying to rip apart our little pupply. Overall she had a terrific time. We finished up the afternoon with a walk by/in the water and then bath #2.
