meeting new friends

On Sunday, the Boss and I walked about 5km to Alexandria to meet a new friend, Jackie and her Boss, Leonard. Together, we had something to eat - well the Bosses did - while I sat around for a while before getting bored and started wandering. I didn't stray too far.

It was a fantastic autumn day with lot of sun and some AFL footy players training in the park. It's been a while since I've been over to Alexandria Park and they've put up a new picket fence around the cricket/footy oval. I was showing off, jumping then fence over and over again, on command.

Jackie is a Jack Russell - of the Parsons or wire hair type, I smell. She's much older than me and doesn't tend to like new company too much. So, I kept my distance from her. I found lots of sticks to play with and keep bringing hem up to the Boss and Jackie's Boss and wanting them thrown.

The grass was really green at Alexandria Park and very lush. I like it there. I also ran into a relative - another smooth Collie. For a while, we were playing frisbee together. It was her frisbee and I didn't want to interrupt, but somehow, I just couldn't help myself and had to chase after it. I caught the frisbee in the air a couple of times - but was careful not to intrude on this bitch's territory.

As the Boss and I walked home together, I found a small pond in the garden of an apartment complex. I had a good lie down in the pond and rolled from side to side to cool myself down. I was so hot!

It was a great day and I look forward to long walks with the Boss and perhaps Jackie, if she's a little more sociable, and her Boss, too.
