Dog Park

Beautiful day in Houston today. It was my first full day of Spring Break, Mimi and I were up before 8:00 am and she was ready to go. So I decided to get up and take her to the dog park. This is a huge park with two sides one for large dogs and one for big dogs. Both sides have a large pond, walking trails, agility course, covered sitting areas. It is like dog heaven.

Mimi has been to a dog park several times in Houston and in Dallas. After coming back from a couple weeks at the grandparents house Mimi was more vocal toward dogs and people. She was so good, didn't bark or get upset with any of the dogs on her side. It is like she knew these dogs were allowed and ok. The big dogs on the other side of the fence is a different story. She went right up to that fence and told those big dogs what she thought. They then raced back and forth along the fence. She was a third of their size, but was able to keep up with the "Big Dogs" Mimi drew a lot of looks and comments. It is quite impressive. I was the proud momma.

We walked for about 45 min. It felt so good to be outside. As we were leaving I was reminded by the Lord that I am much like my little dog. I often want to talk, play, fight with the "Big Dogs", but what I need to do is stay close to my owner (Christ). I have always thought I was Big enough to do things on my own, but I am really quite small, but MY GOD is BIG Enough.
