Last night we saw for the first time some REAL GSP come out of this girl!   It’s been raining here in Sacramento, so the dogs missed going to the park on Sunday.  Monday night came along and they were READY! 

Dasha was LEAPING off the ground when the leash came out, soooo excited!  When we arrived at the park, her tail was wagging non-stop at the gate!!!  The SECOND I opened the gate – she was OFF!  She ran around the park at full speed like a gazelle!  This went on for about an hour, NONSTOP – leaping and bounding, all 4 feet off the ground.  At various times, other dogs would see her running and try to join in, alas, NONE of them could catch up to her . . . Finally about an hour later she came trotting up with a ball in her mouth . . . When I tossed it for her she bounded after it, POUNCING on it when she arrived!  She then proceeded to spend the next 30 minutes tossing it up in the air for herself and kicking it around the park like a soccer ball! 

VERY adorable; so joyous!  The kind of thing that just makes you smile to watch!
