doggy park and Ruta Maya

Greenwood had a beautiful fall festival on Saturday. To avoid the harsh neglect that my dogs suffer at festival time, Sammy was invited on a field trip with Sharon and Phil and their puppy Phantom to go to the training day at Guide Dogs of Texas in San Antonio. He got a little car sick, but otherwise had a great time meeting all the other pups. He was a little afraid of Phantom at first, but that's understandable to anyone that has met "potato puppy."
Greenwood was closed Monday for a festival recovery day, to make up for the festival neglect, I took Sammy and Toby to the dog park on Riverside Dr. It was a welcome sniff fest for Toby, but Sammy mostly sat under my chair and kept an eye on things from there. Just before we left, I saw some nice little dogs playing in the small-dog area. I took Sammy in there and he actually played happily with a pug, a dachshund and a min pin. Toby was a little embarrassed for the Sammy.
After the dog park, we headed over to the coffee shop, Ruta Maya for a latte'. Sammy acted like a old yellow dog and slept soundly under the table by Toby.
Sammy ate all his breakfast this morning. That is a first. He usually passes on breakfast. I hope his appetite picks up because he is on the thin side.
Toby and Sammy have a nice bond. It will be sad to see the break up when Toby graduates in November.

This blog discusses civilly all those issues that blogs are famous for treating with everything except civility. The posters include liberals, moderates, and conservatives and some folks who are hard to pigeonhole. It deserves real consideration.
