Afternoon at the Dog Park

Today was a warm and sunny October day. Katherine decided to take Charlie to the Shirlington Dog Park to make him tired. Charlie just turned 6 months and is nearly 70lbs. We think he still has a lot of growing left in him (he hasn't fully grown into his bear paws). He had fun running with what appeared to be at least a hundred other puppies. The massive white dog in the third picture was Charlie's friend.

Charlie is learning a few things at puppy school. He's learned to "sit," "stay," "come" when called, "leave it," "take it," and "drop it." We're also working on leash walking; he thinks he's a Clydesdale horse (i.e., he likes to pull). We can't wait until the instructor provides some hints to control his barking and "nibbling."
