Otis at the Dog Park

We all went to the dog park today -- Otis, Amos, Calvin and I. Otis has learned that riding in the car is a very good thing and usually ends up in him going to Lenora Park.

When he's around other dogs at the dog park, Otis acts very differently from our other two dogs. Calvin doesn't care to play with other dogs. He just wants to hang out with me and maybe play fetch. Amos likes to run around and sniff the ground, the fence, and other dogs but doesn't really want to play. Otis is very interested in being everyone's friend -- both dogs and people. He will go up to other dogs with his tail wagging, cautious but friendly, ready to make friends. He seems very interested in making sure the other dogs like him. Once he's sure they like him, he moves on to the next one. He will also stop by any people for a quick pet or scractch on the head. Then it's off to run to the other end of the dog park to see if there's other friends he can make.
