Rescue Blu

On Saturday afternoon, Rebecca and Bonnie picked me up from my foster home and took me to McCollum Park in Downers Grove. There were tons of people or all ages and sizes there. There was something going on called a Summer Bash with loud music and lots of running and screaming kids. I thought it looked some what interesting, but I really just wanted to get in touch with my hound- self and sniff.

We walked past some girls on tricycles

Bonnie and Rebecca said we were going so I could see new things and practice walking nicely on a leash. This “walking nicely on a leash” thing is a little silly to me. I like to wander all over the sidewalk… meandering from left to right… basically I follow my nose. They don’t seem to like this. They want me to walk on their right side. BORING, but I try because I get treats and they talk to me in the happy voice. Sometimes I get excited and hop on my front legs and grab the leash and swing it around. They call this “Silly Blu”. It makes them laugh so I like it.

As we walked around the park, we stopped to watch a tennis game. At first I was just sniffing and then I saw the ball. Hmm… something started coming back to me… did I play fetch? I was very focused on this “tennis game”. Bonnie and Rebecca were very interested in this.

On the way home from the park, Rebecca and Bonnie stopped for lunch. I got to sit by their outside table and watch people go by. Every single person that walked past me would pet me. At first I think I startle people because of my size, but I am a lover not a fighter, so soon I win them over. I love people to pet me. I would love to one of those dogs that goes and visits people in nursing homes or other places like that. That would be cool.

We stopped at Jimmy John's for a late lunch. I love the free smells!
