Bark Park Distractions

I have recently begun playing tennis with my friend and neighbor.

The nice thing is we are about the same level so we are progressing together and have had some great games.

But...
our neighborhood association recently put in a Bark Park.

This is place where dogs can run free and people can, too, and play and romp.

Right next to our tennis courts.

So, as I throw my neon green tennis ball into the sky blue to serve, and turn my head slightly to my right, antipating my racquet's immement forceful downthrust... I see..

Terriers-- dachshunds-- retreivers--- running, jumping, wrestling.. -----

chasing ball
tails upright
wagging wagging wagging

They are so cute! I have Puppy Mania.. I wish I was with them, could go to the fence to talk to them, to smell their dog breath, rub a belly and throw a ball..

.. and then I fault my serve.
