Another glorious day fall day in Calgary. 

The morning group got to take advantage of the river at Southland park.  Kip, Everest. Whistler, Riley,  Rover and Wilbur enjoyed splashing around for a few minutes.  Ryder does not partake in water sports so he patiently waited for the guys to have their drink and get a little wet so the dust would stick real good.  And real good it did stick.  After frolicking in the water for a while we decided to move on as the dogs were getting restless and it is best to keep them moving.  Much to my surprise they all obediently got out of the river and followed into the field where they began searching out the source of all those delicious smells in the tall grass.  There must have been a bunch of deer or coyotes that slept near by as they were fascinated by the flattened grass and interesting aromas.  Since it was Friday and the group was small the dogs had a little extra time to meet and greet the other dogs and people before it was time to go home.

The afternoon group went to Edworthy.  Auzzie, Bailey, Frank, Gabby, Pina, Sam, Sidney, Wilbur and Wilson were overly excited to get to the park.  It was hot enough in the afternoon to have gone swimming but when you travel with air conditioning it is hard to gauge the ambient temp.  Sorry guys!  They would have loved to swim.  We played ball for several minutes and then the dogs were letting me know that it was getting to warm so they chugged almost several litres of water and we were off exploring.  The dogs were pretty mellow given the heat so we stuck to the wooded areas where they could find shade. 

The ride home was much quieter!
