The morning group went to Southland.  Havoc was able to join the dogs today.  He loves being outside and with his buddies Evererst and Vinnie blue-eyes.  The morning group was pretty mellow and we enjoyed a quiet walk in the park.  Princess Cheetos did not appreciate being outside as it was a bit cold for him but I made him tough it out.  He has to spend more time with Wilbur to learn that a pug is actually a DOG.  Hollie was really spry and had no trouble keeping up with the younger dogs and she did not have any senior moments so we did not have to back-track to pick her up from another group.  Ryder had his ringlets cut off and is not enjoying the cool sensations caused by the lack of hair.  He has to be bundled up.  Some of his fans did not even recognize him.  He was a little bit insulted.      

The afternoon group went to Edworthy and enjoined a very energetic game of fetch.  The dogs were quite hyper when we got to the park so I decided to drain them before we started walking.  They played fetch for about 30 - 40 minutes (or until they all were laying in the snow) and then we started the walk.  They did not fight, stock, bark, growl or annoy anyone else at the park.  They were perfect little angels.  The only flaw in my plan is that they all pooped after they were pooped so I ended up carry a lot more than usual.  Bailey, Sam, Gabby, Pina, Destiny and Everest love this kind of play.  Sidney and Taylor just chased each other and Mitch and Wilbur had their own game with a little twig as they are both too small to even attempt to compete with the retrievers.  Not one peep was heard from the dogs on the way home.
