We went on a driving trip today. The dogs thought we were going to the dog park. They started to get restless, so we stopped at a city park and went for a walk. I think they were very happy. Thursdays are such good days to take all the dogs for a walk. We go to all kinds of different places on our walks. Sometimes we go to the lake, which is only five minutes from our house. Sometimes we just go for a walk on the trails around the lake. Sometimes we go for walks around our neighborhood. But the guys really like it when I take them to the dog park. No matter (where) we end up going, everyone, including me, is very happy. Every now and then we go walking at my father’s house. There is so much area for the boys to explore. They know when we pull up to my dad’s, and they get very excited. After we woke up from nap, the dogs wanted to go on a walk. We went on a walk in our neighborhood. The dogs really enjoyed going on the walk. They really like going to the dog park and visiting with all the other dogs. But they also have fun walking in our neighborhood. I was just thinking how happy my dogs and myself are walking on the trails next to the lake. They have so much fun sniffing and peeing on everything. We usually try to go to the trails at least once every two weeks. We live just about a block from the lake. Remembering all the times we took our dogs to the dog park; we had such good times. And going to the lake, we had such fun times. The dogs even like grilling at the lake and enjoy us giving them hot dogs. Me and my wife surely enjoy taking our dogs wherever we can. I met one of my neighbors the other day while we were walking our dogs. I asked her if she ever took her dog to the dog park. She said no. So, I asked her if she would like to go the next time we went, and she said yes. A couple days later, I called and asked if she wanted to follow me to the dog park and she said yes. We had such a good time at the dog park, and I asked if she would like to go there again. She said she sure would. In the summer it really gets hot. My dogs get hot too. Sometimes we all go to the lake and get in the water and cool off. All three of my dogs love the water and enjoy them self very much. We all love the lake. Walking in the rain and walking in the snow does not bother my dogs; they go wherever I go. Walking on the beach and walking on the sand, they love to walk wherever I want to go. They are such good dogs. I love them very much. One day, not so long ago, my wife and I took all three of our dogs to the walking trails by the lake. We took the trail we were on all the way to the lake. The two poodles like to wade around in the water, but the terrier likes me to throw a stick so he can bring it back to me. All I know is that they really enjoyed their day on the trails and at the lake. We had so much fun today at the dog park. I think we like to go there just like our dogs. We live close to the lake and sometimes we take them down there. They enjoy walking and getting in the water. I was thinking about getting another car. I can’t afford a new one and have to get a used one. Along the way to the used car lot, we saw a lot of people looking up in the sky. When we stopped at the car lot, we got out of the car and looked up to see what everyone was looking at. Then we saw it; it was a blimp. I had never seen a blimp before and was happy I saw this one. We looked at several cars but could not make a decision. So, we left the car lot. After driving around all day, we decided to go to the grocery store, and we got some T-bone steaks. We went to the lake so we could grill our T-bone steaks. We all enjoyed our T-bone steaks. After eating our steaks, we decided to go fishing. We did not have any poles or bait for fishing. So, we decided we would go fishing the next day. Playing in the sand on the beach is so much fun. Me and my brother enjoy building sandcastles in the sand. Sometimes the water washes our sandcastles away. We love going to the beach. Sometimes our parents bring fun things to play with. Like a big beach ball. Playing in the water can be so much fun also. After we ate supper last night, we all wanted ice cream. We went to the store and got some ice cream. After the ice cream we all decided to go for a walk. When we got ready to leave, the dogs just knew what we were doing. We decided to take them with us. We all had such a great time on the walk. Walking the dogs brings us so much fun and the dogs like it also. While walking down the street we met Shotgun Pete. We asked Pete what he had been doing and he said he was just sitting on the park bench enjoying the sunshine. Running and jumping can be so much fun. Walking the dogs can be so much fun. I really like it when we take the dogs to the dog park. That can be so much fun. While walking all around town, we began to get tired. I said we should get bikes so we could get to where we were going faster. You said we would still get tired. I said we would get their faster. So, I got us a couple of bikes. While walking down the street in my nice quiet town. I met a lady who had two dogs. I told her I had a dog also. Then I asked her if she would like to go to the dog park. She said she had never been to a dog park before. I told her it would be fine, and the dogs would enjoy their selves. Later on, that day we met up and went to the dog park. She told me she enjoyed it and would like to go again. I said that I would like to go again also. I am so glad that she liked it and wanted to go again. One time, a long time ago, you told me you wanted a dog. I was so happy to hear that, so I bought you a dog. Now that you have a dog. What do you two do? You said you loved to go to the dog park. I am so happy that you like your dog I gave you and enjoy going to the dog park with. Maybe someday we can all go to the lake. We can also go swimming. We can also go fishing. And don’t forget hamburgers and hot dogs. We can have so much fun at the lake. Singing in the rain can be really wet. Sliding down a hot metal slide can be painful. Walking on gravel can be hurtful. Drinking too much alcohol, might make you too drunk. Thinking you are the best may not be a great idea. But being a nice person is the best thing you can do. When you are a nice person, you might take the dogs for a walk. You can even take them to the dog park. They really enjoy going to the dog park. You can also take them to the lake. They always have a great time at the lake. You could even take a couple of fishing poles and fish a little while. You can also go swimming at the lake. Swimming can make you hungry. Going to the store and getting some steaks and hot dogs could be real fun. After eating we could take the dogs to the dog park. They love to go to the dog park.

One time we met someone at the dog park and asked her if she would like to go to the lake with us and have steaks. She was also happy with that. We always have such a good time with our dogs and the friendly people we meet. Having dogs can be so much fun. Sometimes after we go to the lake, we take the dogs for a long car ride on the way home. They like that very much also. After a long car ride, the dogs are ready for a long nap. They had so much fun today, going to the dog park, going to the lake, going swimming. going on a walk on the trails at the lake, and taking a long ride home. And don’t forget their nap. I think the dogs are very happy with their day today.
