Dog Park Buddies

Hershey's buddies at the dog park are 3 little Yorkies all in the same family, different ages and different sizes. They are Opie, Ricky, and Randy. Randy is the littlest guy. He wrestles non stop with Loco and one-eyed Willy. Loco looks like a Chihuahua mix and Willy is a Chihuahua who was injured and has one eye but is a healthy, feisty little guy. These are Hershey's other friends. They belong to different families. Sometimes we even meet and talk to the dogs' families! Yesterday we met Sofia a lovely Yorkie who was almost as big as Hershey and unexpectedly so. Her "mom" explained that she was expecting perhaps a 6 to 8 pound dog because she didn't want a tiny one but Sofia turned out to be 11 pounds when she grew up. She has a dark tan face and black back and ears that lay down. She is a beauty and Hershey tried to get her attention right away. The self-possessed Sofia took her time making friends. There were 2 young girls in her family and they were trying to teach Sofia to fetch a small ball. They wound up teaching Hershey because he kept running after the thrown ball where Sofia would not. He was so eager to please them and they were sweet. Hershey needs a small ball to grab up in his little chops! I guess because he is a small dog. We will look for one this weekend.
