Harold's VIP

We took Harold to the VIP lounge. We got a groupon for a members only dog park. I thought the idea was pretty ridiculous. I mean, a paid membership for dogs to play? I bought the groupon because Harold LOVES the water and this has a pond for them to swim in. I was shocked how nice it was. Nigel was not invited. -When dogs see him they immediately hate him and start a fight. I'm sure he's omitting some "I'm better than you" looks, but still. - So, he loved it. I loved it. And the girls loved it. All of the dogs were wonderfully well behaved. I was nervous about bringing my two very young girls (even though they know how to act toward a dog). Only one very small dog jumped on them, but the owner corrected it once and it never happened again. All of the dogs have to pass a temperament test to be allowed in. Excessive barking is forbidden (I thought this was extreme, but it really was wonderful). There were lots of fancy breeds, but just as many mutts. Harold and I can't wait to go back. Every time I open the door he thinks we are going.

This senior was about to have a heart attack from happiness and exhaustion

I love being able to compare the girls height to the dog

The girls had a great time going through the agility course.

And now, Harold has an embarrassingly bad haircut* to show off. He has been completely shaved and has a few bald spots. He looks like he has mange. Poor boy
