Another glorious day for dogs! Two of the three groups yesterday went to Southland and one went to Edworthy. The temperature was in the low 20s and is a real treat for October.
The morning group welcomed our new friends Yoko (pug mix) and Christy (a shepherd mix) to the group. They are sisters and live in McKenzie Lake. Yoko was a bit shy at first being around such a big group of dogs but quickly came out of her shell when the real fun chasing began. Christy just fit right in and was ready for anything. Marty is still in love with Copper much to Copper's dismay. Luckily, Hershey from Lets Get Walked distracted Marty for a while and Copper was able to enjoy some "big boy" time. Ziggy was a little lost without Everest but was able to find some other big boys to play with. Guiness had oral surgery the day before and was still ready and willing to get out for his walk. What a tough boy!
With the afternoon group I was on "senior watch." Usually it is the pups that have to be watch constantly but yesterday I had Vinny L. and Hollie and both are stubborn, independent old dogs that I absolutely love to death but they tend to do their own thing. Shea and Georgie are still in love and have a great time wrestling and chasing each other. When I dropped Georgie off Shea actually cried for him. Sam, Bailey, Clover and Cheetos were happy to just plod along and enjoy the great smells. Most of the dogs were quite mellow and affectionate - each looking for a little bit of attention while we walked. I think it might have been the heat. After a drink of water they all settled down for naps and the ridiculous drive home - traffic was a nightmare and I just realized that most people were probably trying to get out of town for the long weekend.
The third group and I made it to the park by 6:30. Whistler and Rover were good dogs and just did their own thing. Rover likes to hunt for mice and Whistler likes to visit people and get petted. Everest was mad because I put a muzzle on him. He has been eating everything in sight and then getting sick in the truck. If anyone has suggestions on what I could do to stop him from gorging on the "treats" at the park please let me know.
Have a wonderful long weekend and I hope you all enjoy your family, friends and a lovely Thankgiving dinner!
