Lin walking Suka into the neighborhood park
No, there's no love here...
Neener-neener, Dad! I'm sucking up to Lin today! :-p
OK, OK - Don't cry - I still love you, you big sissy!
For a "pocket park," there's a surprisingly large number of acres here... Just behind the treeline runs White Clay Creek, which give our neighborhood a micro-climate substantially more cool that the rest of the county. White Clay Creek is nearly a small river, and frequently floods into the flat grassy area you see here:
Lots of room to explore!
The periodic flooding means that the land is useless for almost any purpose, other than public parkland. And most of teh time, it's useless for that, too... Flooded, or soaked and muddy. Nothing much, other than flood-resistant trees grows here. There are swingsets and slides and ball parks sattered through the park, but most are damaged beyond safe use by the frequent washouts.
Nothing much to look at, but, oh! The scents!
At the entrance ot the park, there's this huge old pine tree, which I love to look at... It's got character. The hole here is big enough for Suka to curl up inside.
Probably a death wound
Anyway, winter is gone... Spring is here. Soon, the park will be flooding every other weekend... Time to enjoy it whilst we can!

isn't she just a gorgeous dog?
love the laughing face on her!
That oak tree is so cool! What a good girl for climbing in there and staying.
Why yes, yes she is a lovely little lady! And to think that it took me a while to adjust to the concept of 'red dog.' Shame on me!
Suka is pretty agile - she'll climb ladders and ramps quite happily, if I go first. Her preferred pearch on the couch isn't on the couch, per se, but rather, on the BACK of the couch!
Getting her to stay, though - Yeah, that's a bit of a trick. Fortunately, there's very little she won't do for StinkyKibble(tm)!
