People you meet #9 - Gumboot wearers

At least three of the dog park regulars have been spotted wearing gumboots this week. Which is reasonable really, as the park does not have any puddles but is in fact, one big puddle. As is the oval.

I don't have any gumboots, but I wear shorts (legs are easier to clean and dry than long trousers) and my dog walking shoes were trashed long ago.

The dog park is preferable for puddle play because the mud at the oval stinks. I have a feeling the materials used to make the oval into an oval may have come from a toxic dump. The mud is black and stinky. And when Pooka has been eating it, it looks like she's had an upper GI bleed.
