Well we still didn't have sunshine but the rain held offf for both walks on Monday. The morning group was so mellow I could have sat in my truck with a coffee and a book and called them 75 minutes later. With only four boys - Jin, Rover, Ryder and Everest - there wasn't much I had to do. They were so good they didn't even slosh around in the mud puddles like they usually do. There was a lot of running through the tall grass and a couple of them went "hunting" for mice.
I used the morning group to build up my strength for the afternoon group! This bunch was much much busier and rowdier than their friends in the morning. The girls obviously ruled the park and the pack and the two boys (Frank and Copper) just tagged along. Baby Rose and Taylor are now best friends and they played HARD together. Sometimes it was hard to see where one left off and the other one started. Casey was the smallest and the oldest of the pack but she definitely has not lost her leadership qualities. Everyone got along great and I was really proud of their manners and recall when we met up with other individual dogs and groups at the park.
On a sad note - our little buddy Diego the beagle died late last week. He died of some sort of non-contagious lung problem.
Dear Diego,
Rest in peace porkchop. You will be missed.
Ellen and all your friends
Sam and me are so sorry to learn of Diego's loss. Hoping Diego's family is coping as well as can be expected.
