Today we met Otto and his family at the Heritage Park for some off leash playing. Piston and Otto have had a number of play sessions...and quite a few sleep over parties! But this was Hemi's first intro to the high energy goofball that is Otto. She was a tad bit reserved to start off with - can't blame her! Otto is a bit intense...but, soon enough she was comfortable enough to run up to the big boys while they were wrestling and gave them a piece of her mind!

| "I'm coming too!" |

| "Wait for meee!!" |
 |
| "Hey! You two place nice!" |

| Followed the boys right into the Creek too for a little swim :) |
I think my favourite part was testing out her Recall! Our little chow hound proved she'd do just about anything for a piece of kibble!! We started off with the "restrained recall"...David was in the park already with Hemi and I walked out with Piston to meet Otto and family. As we were coming back, Hemi caught sight of us and got excited, so David unleashed her but held her back until I called her to "c'mere!" She took off like a little rocket across the field. So of course she got a nice jackpot of treats! :)
Later on, the boys started to head off around one of the buildings in the park with Hemi trying to follow. Called her name and couldn't believe my eyes as she turned right around and came running back as quick as could be! Amazing!! This little girl is sooo different than Piston and we couldn't be enjoying her any more :)
Here's a video showing off one of her recalls - despite Otto getting in the way, she still returned happily and got a great big reward!
