Late each afternoon, I head out to the bluffs near my home to socialize and do some sniffing. There are some regulars that I can always look forward to seeing: Winnie and Trudie, Zachary and Scout, Dolce, Wonka, Teddy, Buddy, CeeCee, Max, Molly, Harry and Sadie, Sparkly, Rosie, Bo and Luna.

Some of these dogs really go wild playing with each other, especially the puppies.

Occasionally I get involved; maybe run along for a bit.

But usually I prefer to go sniff around for ground squirrels,

or perhaps to stand around and think important thoughts.
