at the park
"RILEY! Wait up dude, I just wanted to give you a big hug!
Come on, you know you want it... I'm cute and fluffy, and I give the biggest

Ada goes onto another rant while Lara and Sneakers just ignore
her and play tug o' war with the stick
Ahhh just love that smelly spring breeze! And the smellier, the better. Hey Lara, get over here. I think I smell a swamp over there. I think

you're gonna stand around looking at me and taking pictures, why who keeps visiting with us at the park
don't you pass over the ball? I'll guard it for you... (we almost never see his owner, the dog runs wide and far!)
Ada is always really focused on the ball, especially if Zoey gets it
Ok I'm bored with wrestling now, can we go to the trail that leads Um Yankee, you're kinda sitting on me dude. I like you and all, but
to the swamp? Pretty pleeeasssseee? not that much! Murphy, can you take him down???
Chum is always looking for water and mud to roll in Kerry, Murphy, Yankee & Bella playing in the big field
"I can't make up my mind which snow to roll on, it all smells The pooches gather in the forest for a canine convention
so delicious!"
Yankee searches for the perfect rolling snow
"Shoot, I'm surrounded now. Yankee is ready to tackle me, and I just Late winter fun at the park

Ada, Murphy and Yankee wrestle in the field
HA! Take that Mr Yankee Doodle. I kept telling you I was Mnnn...I could have swore I left that stick over here before Lara came

Ouch, Murphy, watch out, you just took a bite outta my shoulder. YIPEE! Finally, I got the stick away from those guys. Now I'd better run

hungry here... Our pal Henry getting some not-so-good ideas at the park
A hungry happy Harper takes a breather in the snow (which, we'd like to add, is not by any means unusual)
Awww..I can't eat the stick? But why? It's just so unbelievably And over here there's a REALLY good mud puddle. Come on Murphy,
tasty...plus I had a really early lunch so I'm getting kinda snacky... let's go before the humans spot us. You won't be sorry!

Oh man do I ever love the sunshine, nice ain't it Henry? If I woulda pssst....just give me the ball, I promise I won't tell the others!
known it was gonna be this nice out today, I would have put on the Pretend to throw it and they'll all run around looking for it..heheh
sunscreen!
Well where on earth did it go? I coulda sworn I hid the stick well this is an interesting place, but it doesn't seem to have any good
over here. Must be that dang Zoey again, she's always smelly swamps. I suspect this is a trick!
stealing it on me! Rayna & Yanks in the forest
Yankee tries to find the ball before her friends snatch it
away
.
You're right Murphy, Chumley DOES smell good! Which direction Rock n' rolling in the snow!
is the mud puddle dude? Please tell us, I promise we won't rat you out!
Chumley coming back to the group after investigating the nearby
swamp
SOMEBODY HELP ME!!!!! Lara & Yanks are ganging up on me, I swear it was over here guys, at least I thought it was...that's so weird,
I'm doomed! Can't any
of you guys come help me???
because I hid the ball myself. I betcha a bone that Zoey was watching
And you call yourselves my friends, geesh!
me hide it and then took off with it...darn..
Yipee, I love the wide open fields and jumping into the snowbanks... Hey Al, over here. Give us a chance for once, wouldcha. Just
this is fun! Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! pretend to throw it the other way and then toss the ball to us. We
promise to hold onto it!
You human, got a treat for me? I'm kinda feeling hungry after all No it's mine, leggo......come on Charlie, if you don't let go you'll be sorry!
this runnin' around. Wrestling in this snow is really hard work! Chum and Ada watch as Sneaks & Charlie fight over the stick
Harper on the snow trail
he he I just LOVE watching those guys running around searching Take THAT Lara, you won't keep me down long!
for the ball after I've hidden it. It's totally the highlight of my day!
The Hensters gets a little chuckle watching the others search
frantically for the ball that he's hidden (and often forgets about)
Ada & Sneakers play with the stick in the field, while Yankee (in Mnn...wonder who I should wrestle next...that Harley is WAY
the background) is practicing how to do handstands! too easy!
Bella looking for a new wrestling partner
The gang gather around Al to wait for the ball throw in the oooh this is fun getting carried around (free ride, woohoo!) but I
open field think I'm slipping dude!
Riley loves getting carried around at the park, even if it's just for a
short ride!
Ok Yankee, you get his back legs and I'll work on pinning down his Maybe if I climb up this tree Harley won't be able to catch me
shoulders. Harley, you're SO in trouble now. Ready, Yankee? Let's do it. Mnnnnn looks like that may be trickier than I thought.
take THAT Harley. That's for the low blow you gave me earlier today!
Told ya I'd get you back...
If I look all cute and sucky, will you just toss me the ball instead of lets see if I can get my snout any further down your throat Harley!
throwing it really far and making me compete with the crazies for it? Then you're going DOWN!
Yep this is MY stick and it's got my name written all over it boys
and girls. And hope you caught that Zoey, or I'll take you down
right here!
hey hey! What's going on here guys? Some wrestling and no one Hey I could've swore the ball was thrown over here. See it Riley?
called me over? HELLO...I'm the wrestling king here guys, let me Man, I'll bet it was that Zoey. Quick as lightening...darn..
show you how it's done! Henry & Riley search high and low for the ball (which Zoey
watches and chuckles while watching them with the ball in the
bushes)
If I sneak over here I might be able to get a break from wrestling. I
swear that Harley can wrestle all day if you let him. But considering
he spends most of the time down on the ground, he's really not
doing much work. I'm the one who gets the workout, now I'm tired!
Yo dudette, you can throw the ball anytime soon. It's not like we got all day
here!
Ok everyone follow Al, he seems to know where he's going! Hey how come every time I catch up to that little guy, he seems to
disappear again? I'm thinking he doesn't like me as much as I
thought. Darn....
Throw the ball dude, I'm gonna get it for once! Just make sure you throw
it the same direction I run!
Chumley pretends he cares about the Frisbee in your hand, even
though he's runs to the nearest swamp as soon as it's thrown!
And he can smell them a mile away, the little stinker! ha ha
what? You're seriously telling me I can't go over to that Swamp? Yuk, not sure what THAT was, but it wasn't very tasty AT ALL!
What is wrong with you? Didn't you tell us today was spa day today?
Ummn...well that was easy Harley. No need to wrestle you down in the Oohhhhh this is sweeeet!!! Just love this white stuff & the smellier, the
snow, if you're just going to do it yourself. Carry on then... better. Come on guys, join me! It's like being at the spa!
