At the Park (공원에서)

Like any young puppy, Holly loves going to the park. She can meet many new people, run around, and play fetch with the tennis ball. When we play fetch, she always overruns the balls and tumbles over, it's so cute. I am lucky that there are so many parks in my area, we go to a different one almost every day. I like to see the look on people's faces when they see Holly. Here are some new pics and a video.

John -- Thanks a lot for the video and the pictures. The video didn't play too well, but I could see Holly running after the tennis ball, tumbling a few times when she got to it, tumbling a few more times on the way back with the ball, and then bringing the ball all the way back. Does she bring the ball back each time? If so, that is remarkable.

The still pictures are also very nice, with the kids and with you. The one I really liked was the one right before the video where she is sitting alone on a porch or deck. That one really shows many of her good form and qualities.

Somehow, I also got switched to another site on YouTube and saw a video of Holly swimming. Was that your Holly?

I can sure see where she can be an awful lot of fun. I'm so glad that you are enjoying her.

Hey Dad,

That one picture is also my favorite, it's the background on my comuputer screen right now.

If the video isn't that clear, make sure you check 'HD', that will show you a higher quality video.

She gets the ball every time. It came naturally to her. As you can see, she didn't listen to the 'sit' command. Inside, she does every time, but outside she has so much energy and there are so many things going on that sometimes she doesn't. But she will, she's only 3 1/2 months.

The swimming Holly wasn't mine, that dog's a little older.

John -- I'm glad you liked that photo also. Two great minds, huh?

On the video, it's not that it wasn't clear. The problem was that it stops and doesn't want to start again. I get it running again by moving the mouse back and forth over it. But it continually stops and is very difficult to get it running again.

I eventually got through it and enjoyed it very much. Holly really is funny.....and smart!

John -- OK, this time I ran the video on HD and it worked perfectly. I got to really see her running after the ball, tumbling, and bringing it back to you. It is remarkable that she brings it back and doesn't run off somewhere else with it.

She is so cute and so much fun to watch. That ball is almost too big for her mouth, but that will change. What energy!

Hi Mom and Hong, thanks for leaving a comment.
The ball is too big now, but she can carry it. It's really cute, she usually drops it 2-3 times on the way back to me.
Hong, you will probably see Holly next semester, we will be walking around the campus a lot.

John -- One thing I didn't mention earlier. There is a real discernable difference in the brightness and clarity of your photos with your new camera. Great quality.
