So on Sunday, Micah's birthday, we bundled Rupert and Hugo into the car and set off to the off leash dog park in Mount Martha, approximately five minute's drive from Stella's house.
We were exceptionally lucky with the weather. It was cold, wet and foggy when we left Ballarat. It drizzled on and off all the way down. It was raining five minutes before we got to the park. Then the rain stopped and the sun even shone fitfully for the rest of the afternoon.
We had thought that Rupert and Hugo wouldn't recognise the dog park. They've only been once and that was 9 or so months ago. But no. As soon as we pulled up and they saw the reserve, they got Very Excited Indeed. As soon as they got out of the car, into the reserve and had their leads taken off they ranandranandranandRAN.
It was an excellent birthday party. Several of the puppies and their humans had met the night before but there were puppies at the park, along with other great danes, their humans and visitors, not to mention other dogs who came to the park and came to play.

Next time I go to a birthday party in the park, in autumn, on a drizzly day, I shall take a flask of soup rather than a platter of sandwiches. Apart from that, it was all good. (I might take a few sandwiches as well as soup. Soup and sandwiches are a good combination!)
Then we went and had a cup of tea with Grandma Stella and then we went home. A well celebrated birthday
