For the past six years I've been in
oval therapy.
This involves
wandering around in circles,
always in a clockwise direction,
around a cricket or footy oval,
with a pack of dogs, and a good friend or two
putting the world to rights.

There was nothing that we couldn't sort out during our
oval therapy sessions.
When I think back over the years
we've covered some pretty big issues
including this years classics...

So...
'Have you decided whether you're moving to
Shanghai, Beijing or Kuala Lumpur?'
That was January this year.
We stayed.
or in August
'How's your daughter going in Liberia?'
She left.
Some of the more trickier discussions took
up more than one morning in the park.
Ebola for instance has been a hot topic
over many weeks now...
The Crazy Poodle and I
first visited Rathmines Reserve, Hawthorn East
as a puppy
when I needed a safe haven
for his first off lead adventures.

The park is an easy stop off

It quickly became part of our morning routine.
He has now graduated from skittish puppy
to mature older statesman of the park.
We both love it.
Molly is a black Spoodle
who makes a good running partner.
As the dogs played well together,
the owners got chatting
and so started oval therapy.
Harvey was always popular
as his owner always had good treats.
This went to a whole new level
When Harvey brought along a new little sister, Maisie
accompanied by home made carrot puppy training biscuits.

As the Crazy Poodle moves into doggy middle age,
with a proud I know how this works
bum down, nose up 'please can I have a treat' look
my son slips silently into his last weeks at school.
Last week I did my final school drop off.
Ever, ever, ever...

This is a massive change for all our routines and life.
We will no longer be passing Rathmines Reserve every day.
We're both going to miss our walks in the park
and the oval therapy sessions!
Anyone know any good recipes for carrot dog biscuits?
We'd better get baking before we attempt
to make new friends
in a new park!
