Diamond recently went on a Dog Day "Out" and here's what her DDO buddy had to say!
"Diamond and I had an awesome Dog's Day In version of DDO. She was raring to go and hopped right in the car, not afraid one bit, but just couldn't contain her utter excitement long enough to understand my spiel about the safety protocols of a back seat car ride. She was a gem while I gave her belly rubs in the back seat - I just couldn't figure out how to do that and drive at the same time, but that's a me problem, not Diamond! I think she would have been fine in the car once some of her energy was released or in a crate for transportation, but we decided just to make other plans.
We played lots and lots of tennis ball in the play yard. If there's a tennis ball in sight, then 'tennis ball is life'. She showed off her speed and agility, ups and pounces to get that tennis ball, and got only a little befuddled as to why she couldn't manage to hold onto two at once!
If she wasn't preoccupied chasing tennis balls, then all she wanted was attention and to know what's going on, she was very curious and alert. We did lots of scritches on her back, belly rubs, butt scratches, and head massages. She loooooved pets and leaned into them. She was so sweet and very calm and content when getting the pets.
Then we did bath time and she was a little timid but bravely got in on her own and then was such a good girl, not afraid of the water, and let me do a good scrub. I think she got a kick out of shaking the water off all over me! Toweling off was just more welcome pets . And she's a beauty queen!
She loved the treats and was working hard on learning sit and the manners of not jumping. She took treats happily, a little clumsily but always gently.
She was a hoot and incredibly happy and playful and would have no trouble keeping up with an active human. I just loved her!
Isn't she gorgeous? This Diamond in the ruff (haha) - she will shine with space to play, lots of tennis balls and someone to throw them for her, and the patience, love, and affection of her humans once she finds them (you?)..."
