Bowzer and the Bozo

You meet some nice people at the dog park. This afternoon I struck up a conversation with a woman who was enjoying the beautiful weather with her sweet 12-year-old mix. He was a nice dog, mild-mannered and gentle. Still, I kept my 6-year-old Yorkie, Mindy, on her leash at first. She's got a lot of energy and, while she's relatively friendly, has been known to start a fight here or there, particularly with bigger dogs. But once the two dogs were acquainted and Mindy seemed okay with the other dog, I let her off the leash. No problem.
