First trip to the dog park

After numerous invites to the dog park, we finally felt ready to take Jax yesterday morning. We met up with her friend, Bella, at Fleet Peoples Park. It's not technically a "dog park", since people can rent it out for picnics, etc., but it is all fenced off and has a lake so it's very dog friendly. They even have a dog-washing station by the entrance so you can rinse off your pup before heading home!

I was a little reluctant to have Jax off leash since I wasn't sure whether or not she'd try to run away, and I was also a little nervous about how she'd do with new, stranger pups all around. But I was so pleasantly surprised at how well she did, and how much fun she had. The best part, though, was how much she loved swimming in the lake!

Here's a video of her splashing around, trying to eat the water and jumping like a little kangaroo.
