Puppy Chronicles: Last Weekend and a Sleepy Puppy

Last weekend was a great one - we spent almost the whole weekend in Berkeley at Tyler's place and visited some good spots around the area. One of those was a park right by the bay, Cesar Chavez park, that had great views of the water and also off leash parts that Hinck could play in. Hinck is getting better at going off leash - he'll run ahead but before he gets too far, he turns around to wait for us slow-pokes. He's also better about coming when we call him (especially when there aren't cute girl-dogs around.)

After we came back from the park, we tried to lock Hinckley out just for a joke. He wasn't very happy with us.

On Wednesday, I took Hinck to Water Dog Park in Belmont. Mom, Dad, & Sally took him there back in November, and I had been meaning to try it out but didn't realize just how easy it was to get to! It's about 4 min from the Belmont library, which I like a whole lot. We went there after work and ran into a sweet yellow lab who tried to convince Hinck to go swimming in the lake/pond that's in there. Even with the temptations of a new friend, a ball being tossed, and DUCKS Hinck still would only let his feet get wet. I'm somewhat convinced that this summer the hot weather will change his mind, but until then fingers crossed. He was still plenty wet, though, and stayed in the car to get warm & cozy while I searched for books at the library afterward.
