Playing It Smart in the Dog Park
I hear Ricky was kind of disappointed with my first Duck Dog post. Said I bounced around from topic to topic — “like a pinball.” I get the feeling he was trying to say I’m immature. I understand what he means. It’s just that I get really excited by a lot of different things. I’m not even 8 mon…
