It was a weird and wonderful day for dogs.  We started out in the pouring rain and by half way through the first walk the sun was shining and by the second walk it was quite warm.

The first group went to Southland.  Bruin, Everest, Copper, Riley, Rover, Ryder, Whistler, Wilbur and Erckle were happy to be out and about after a long weekend cooped up.  Well, Everest, Whistler, Erckle and Rover were cooped up all weekend.   Because of the rain there weren't that many people and dogs at the park so we almost had the place to ourselves.  Everyone was on their best behaviour which made me very proud.

The second group went to Edworthy and in true afternoon group fashion they were nutty and impatient and literally fell out of the truck when I opened the tailgate.  The group was a little large as we had some unexpected company - Casey (the tiny Schnauzer) and Sierra (the extra large Shepard cross) joined us and they were probably the best behaved of the bunch. 

Poor Frank had a sore leg so he was a little slow and would hide in the grass while the other dogs played fetch.  All the other dogs except for Copper and Casey got into playing fetch.  Gabby and Pina seem to always get to the ball first but everyone else tries really hard including Mitch and Auzzie (the two littlest guys on the walk today.)  Sam and Bailey love to play fetch but can't keep up with G & P so I faked G & P out and then throw the ball the other way for Sam and Bailey. They appreciated the gesture and were happy to bring the balls right back to me.   Once fetch was over we headed out to do some exploring.  Someone (who will remain nameless) found some fresh poop to roll in and then proceeded to befriend all the people at the park.  They got a rude awakening when I yelled at them "don't touch her!"  YUCKY!!
