Dearest Diary,
This weekend Mama took me to the big lake for our morning constitutional. The big lake is one of my favorite places, and as soon as I realized where we were headed I simply had to put my head out of the window and sing a song of delight.
Not very ladylike I know, but sometimes the joy is simply too much to contain.
We pulled into the parking lot, which is normally quite empty in the early hours, but was instead full of cones, people, and drink stations. I became very concerned, but the lovely gentleman watching over the parking lot assured us that the 5k wouldn't start for 20 minutes, and we were free to enjoy the lake as long we made way for runners.
I had a delightful time, sniffing about the trail, checking the best pee spots for local news, and alerting Mama to the presence of rabbits. Alas, she never accepts my invitation to hunt. Why she insists on boring old kibble when we could be feasting on rabbit I shall never understand.
We were about halfway round when the race caught up to us. What a lark! I was most impressed with the ladies pushing perambulators while they ran. Such admirable dedication to sport! The children inside looked like they were having a lovely time. There were even other dogs racing with their humans.
It was truly a lovely Earth Day.
