My Lightsaber Is Bigger Than Yours

8/07/2005

Well with dog daddy being on vacation, mur in brazil, I really didn't have anything on my plate that was going to keep me busy. So Kobi and I have just being hanging out at the parks these past few days. Today was definitly the hottest day of the year. We ended up hitting up the point(dog park). As soon as we started to walk on the trail along the water. There was drama, Imagine this,.....without M around.j/k M!
So this lady was with her 10yr old daughter walking a fairly small dog. And then this large german shephard wanted to play with him. The owner of the smaller dog was screaming, because the shephard wouldn't let up off playing.

The owners actually exchanged some words of anger. Well the lady that owned the small do did. Then later as Kobi was swimming in the canal. More owners yelling and dogs with defensive barks in the air. This happend almost the whole time we where there. one thing after another.

So if you don't know by now, Kobi is not a big fan of swimming in water with waves.
I just don't think he can swim when it's rough. we happen to be walking along the waves. Somebody got excited and followed another dog down to the water. Where there were waves crashing against the rocks. Both seemed to be thinking about going in as there legs were shaking. I knew Kobi wouldn't go in, so I thought if I threw the tennis ball in the water, mabey the black lab would jump in. And then Kobni would follow right behind him.

Turns out Kobi went in first. Ahh..the moment I have been waiting for. As he nervously plopped in to the water and swam towards the ball. I could sense some urgency that he wanted to rush for the ball since the water was rough. He quickly retrieved the ball and proceede back. While the black lab swam towards him. Kobi got nervous and dropped the ball out of him mouth, and swam back ashore. The things is the black lab seemed like he was going to get the ball, but swam righ behind Kobi.
I almost didn't think they were going to make it back. The current was pushing into them hard, and the waves were providing lot's of extra drinking water in there mouth.
Kobi's head even vanished under water for a second. As they both struggled getting up that first rock. I thought to myself, I guess that's the first and last time I throw his ball in real water.

Later we made it home. Since I drove back with the air conditionor on, I didn't realize how freak'n hot it was until we got out the car. Like always Kobi get's excited when he comes home from the park. He usually runs in the house to his water bowl, picks up a toy in his mouth and throws it across the room. Well, he did his routine thing, but, I noticed he something was bothering him. He kinda paced around nervous. Then started to clear his throat and lick his chops. The it all came right as I got closer to him. GRRlllooowwwfff. Yes he threw up all over the floor. It was so gross, because it was so much. Must have been the like a quart or so... I quickly managed to have him lay on the other side of the room as I used several towels cleaning. Turns out, even though when we were at the park and he did his business several times. The barf had lot's of food in it.

I guess it must have been all the salt water he drank while swimming in the rough waves!!!!!! Or the heat?
