Wild Dogs

The morning group got absolutely soaked!  Imagine what 8 wet dogs smells like.  YUCKY!!  But boy did they have FUN.  Southland was virtually empty and the dogs took full advantage of the space and freedom to be just dogs.  Maya, Everest, Rover and Sydney ran and chased and barked and tackled each other.  I am surprised that they had enough energy to walk back to the truck.  If anyone saw them they would have thought that they had gone wild.  So much fun to see them enjoy being animals and most importantly nobody got hurt.  Vinny Link and Whistler tried to join in but only had short bursts of energy for the cause.  Even for dogs it sucks getting old.  Poor little J and Ryder looked and acted like drown, shivering rats.  It's not easy being little in this climate.

The afternoon group went to Edworthy and we enjoyed a brief dry spell.  As this is such a high energy group we started out playing ball.  The blondes - Sam, Pina, Gabby and Bailey were most invested in this game although Meeko the fetching great dane got the ball a few times and the boxer sisters made a jaunty effort although they still don't know why they are running.  Slevin & Meeko enjoyed some big boy play and wrestled off and on.  We met up with Jennifer and her Lets Get Walked group and it made quite a sight all those dogs getting along and enjoying just being together. 

As always, I love my job and my hairy, wet and stinky friends!!

PS Please leave some old towels by the door.

Cesar Tip: Dogs live in the moment.  That's why they can quickly overcome years of behavioural issues with the proper guidance.*
