I go to a place called dog park; Kaede comes too. It's a place where lots of people stand around while dogs run and play and jump on each other. We go to dogpark when there is no snow left. When there is snow we go to watch our humans cross country ski but Kaede and I have so much fun running fast and jumping on each other that we forget, sometimes, to watch the skiing.
The first time we went to dog park after the snow I saw my old friend. He is a Husky dog and I love him a lot. His name is Niko and he wears a purple collar that has turned his fur around his neck purple too. There is another Husky who looks just like Niko but I don't love him at all. I love Niko. When I see Niko I run over to him and we run beside each other and then we jump into the air and we bump each others chest. I think Kaede gets a little jealous because she runs along beside us and barks and barks and barks. Kaede never barks at home. Not even when she is outside too long and wants to come in. She sits at the door and waits for the humans to let her in. I don't. I bark my head off and they always let me in right away.
Anyway, Niko is the only dog at the dog park that I play with. I like to be around the other dogs but I don't like them as much. As soon as I saw Niko I knew that I wanted to be his friend. Last summer and fall I played with him a lot but didn't see him when there was snow on the ground. When we went back to dog park I saw Niko coming into the park and I ran, excitedly, to the fence. Even before I smelled him I knew it was him. He knew me too, after all that time, he knew it was me, Freddy, and we threw our paws around each other and hugged. Except for Kaede, Niko is my very best friend in the world.
