Dog Bowls

Today at the gym Eli and I ran into some friends who were going to the park after they worked out and invited us to join them. Since Eli and I didn't have any other plans we decided to join them later that morning. But first we went over to Market Street to get a smoothie. Eli and I split a yummy smoothie and enjoyed some time running around the park there. After the smoothie we headed over to Bear Branch park to play. We met up with our friends. Eli and Benjamin had a great time playing in the Dog water bowl at the park. If you pushed a button the water would come out and fill the bowl up. Eli and Ben would take turns pushing the button. They would also splash in the water and try drinking from the water too. They were completely soaked by the time we left the park. At least they had a good time and were playing well together.

After the park Eli and I met up with Thomas at Luby's for lunch. Eli was such a good little eater today. He ate his food without any fight or prompting from me, including the green beans. We had a great lunch and then Eli and I headed home for a nap and Thomas went on to work.

After Eli's nap I gave Eli his normal after nap snack of a banana. I also got myself a snack of grape tomatoes. We sat down to enjoy our snack and Eli decided he wanted some of my tomatoes. I have given him tomatoes before and he spit them out so I was sure that is what he would do this time too but no he wanted more! He ended up eating all of my tomatoes and hardly any of his banana.

This evening we went to our friends house for home group. They have 2 dogs which they kept locked in their crate. These dogs were so good that I walked by them several before I even knew they were there. At one point in the evening I was half way watching Eli and I saw him in the door way where the dogs were. I assumed he was trying to touch the dogs so i yelled at him to keep his hands away from the dogs. Then is dawned on me what he was doing. Eli had a little play tea cup and was dipping it in the dogs water dish and then drinking it! Ewwwwww!!!!!! I couldn't wait to get him home to brush his teeth. Eli is such a boy!
