Another wonderful day at the park.  The morning group went to Southland as usual and there seemed to be a lot of other people and dogs there.  I guess everyone is making it up to their dogs.  I had a big burly group of boys and Res (the only girl).  Two of the Pinkney kids (Res and Guiness) were racing all over the place and playing hide and seek with me.  Nicky (the third Pinkney kid) was herding and bossing the other dogs around.  Marty and Copper wrestled and growled and pretended they were tough - really cute as they are both so small and Marty wears a purple camo sweater (not really tough looking).  Coming back from the north end of the park we ran into Miles and Penny Barker and their mom and then Penny S and her mom.  You would not believe the chattering - it was like they had not seen each other in months (and probably haven't if you consider dog time.)  We also met a new friend named Brady.  He is an 11 year old black lab and his dad.  They walked with us for awhile.  Brady took a shine to Copper and wanted to be his sugar daddy.  Bruin was upset because he is Copper's sugar daddy of long standing.  Loading up was really smooth as everyone cooperated once they realized I was not letting eight dogs in the cab of the truck. 

The afternoon group grew as the day progressed.  They were so excited by the time we got to the park that people were looking and laughing at us.  Rover, Maya, Clover and Sam are very vocal and they were carrying on like I had abandoned them when I was actually just unloading the dogs next group of dogs.  Vinny L. made it out today after not feeling well on Tuesday.  We are all happy that he was so energetic (and he looked so cute in his boots and old man sweater.)  Since they were a little nutty at first I took them to the far corner of the park and of course they found the holes in the fencing and went into the planted area.  One by one they would get in and I would call that one out and they another one would discover uncharted territory and wander in.  Dogs are sometimes harder to herd than cats!  

Another wonderful day with my sweet and sometimes stinky friends.
