Oh how lucky can we get?  Another beautiful day for dogs!!  Hopefully everyone that went to see Cesar enjoyed the presentation and was able to learn how to be a more effective pack leader.  Feel free to share any comments you had about the show.

Both groups enjoyed Southland today.  The morning group was quite excited to get to the park and scattered to the four corners to poop as soon as their feet hit the dirt.  Eli was a little shy to start again today but quickly warmed up when I brought out the ball.  He would steal it and then trot off and hide it in the grass.  Then I would send Whistler and Everest in to find it but he would scurry to it first and then prance around with it and tease the other dogs.  And truth be told me too!  After a while that got frustrating for us all and we abandoned ball play and took off on our adventure through the park.  We tried one of Cesar's suggestions and varied our route and the dogs seemed to like the new smells and terrain.  Nicky and Guiny-pig, Copper and even Ryder enjoyed getting lost in the tall grass and routing around for rodents.  Luckily I didn't find any.  Sweet Penny S. brought up the rear.  We missed Marty today.  He was in the hospital having "the surgery" and should be back in action (so to speak) next week.

The afternoon group was very mellow and the people at the park were very curious as to why this one was wearing a muzzle (eats poop) and why that one was shaking (just an old guy).  As we trapsed through the tall grass in another less traveled part of the park Harley actually got lost.  Poor little thing must have thought he was in a horrible corn maze.  Luckily he has a hearty bark and we were able to find him back at the beginning of the trail.  I was quite surprised that CPC Cheetos was able to make it through without getting lost or discusted with the dirt and grass touching him. 

With the sun going down earlier it seems that we are getting home later and later.  I am not sure why but it happens every fall and into winter.  If we are going to be more than ½ hour later that usual I will call with an update.
