Preston visited two dog parks this weekend. On Saturday, Mommy took him to Ed Levin Park in Milpitas. This is probably the cleanest and best-maintained dog park Preston has been to.
Preston was the first to arrive at the park. He was a little disappointed and kept looking toward the parking lot hoping more dogs would come.
Yeah! The grey hound brothers showed up. Preston had a great time running with them. This made it worth the $6 park entrance fee!
Preston checked out another dog park on Sunday, Drigon Park in Union City. This place is awesome! There are a lot of doggies to play with and also agility equipments for Preston to try out.

A surprise from Clover
Preston’s friend Clover sent him a surprise package all the way from Ottawa, Canada!
It was sent more than a month ago but Preston didn’t get it until today… Ottawa must be far far away!
Preston couldn’t wait to open up his surprise.
Let’s see what the surprise is!
There are more goodies from Clover. Thank you, Clover!
Preston stole the hockey stick when mommy was taking the picture.

Shining white teeth
Preston has gotten many compliments for his white teeth.
The secret? He is very good in letting mommy brush his teeth every night! (and the vanilla and peanut flavor tooth paste helps too.)
His upper teeth are just as pearly white!

Color Blind?
Nahhh… Not Preston!
“Puff Fish” is one of Preston’s favorite stuffies.
FYI: According to Dr. Dana K. Vaughan, Dogs are “color-limited”, not “color-blind”. “dogs do see color, but in a more limited range than that seen by normal humans, who see the rainbow of colors described by “VIBGYOR”: Violet, Indigo, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, and Red (plus hundreds of variations on these shades). Instead, dogs see “VIBYYYR” (Violet, Indigo, Blue, Yellow, Yellow, Yellow, and Red).”
So it is not surprising that Preston can tell his Blue, Pink and Yellow Puff Fish!

Cool-it Bandana®
Mommy got Preston a very stylish Cool-it Bandana, made with polymer crystals that can absorb heat and keep Preston cool.
“Are yoou cool, Preston?”
06/25/2009 update: We did not realize that the bandada was supposed to be soaked in the water (and placed in the fridge) before use. We found that out when washing it. haha! Should have read the instruction first! It does work!
Instructions: “Completely soak entire bandana in water for 15-30 minutes. The bandana will swell as it absorbs water to keep your pet cool for hours. To extend cooling time soak bandana and refrigerate before using. Air dry completely after using. ”
If Cool-it Bandana didn’t work, this would definitely make Preston feel better. Mommy took Preston to The Counter and built a burger for Preston and Mommy. She kept the caramelized onion (yum!) to herself, but made it up to Preston with the sweet potato fries.
