Romp in the Park

The other day I was able to enjoy an illicit pleasure. It’s not just every day that this opportunity presents itself and my human companion is willing to take the risk. She has been reprimanded for partaking of this pleasure in the past.

And it is not the pleasure of this lovely skyline….


Or the contemplation and nostalgia of our world just a few years ago when we see the scarred skyline of downtown Manhattan…


...or our afternoon walk, when I do this about 20 times to exercise my scent over a territory…

...but as we turned a corner I saw something I don’t often see. There in broad daylight were dogs running free on the grass!

I stopped and stared, hoping I could sniff, run, play and chew grass and dirt so I could vomit it later on the rug at home. Luckily, we dared to defy the no-dogs-on-grass rule and for a little while I was able to stretch my legs and sprint in circles with the other dogs.
We sniffed.

After running around a bit we hung out. Satisfying day. And I didn't throw-up, nice for my human friend.
