Sorry no blog on Tuesday.  Everest and I did not get home from PALS until 9:00. 

Yesterday we welcomed Remy to the group.  He will coming out with us on Tuesdays and Fridays.  He is 4 year old goofy yellow lab.  He accepted his initiation into the group with a great deal of class and was very playful with the little guys - Wilbur and Auzzie.

Today began with trepidation as the weathernetwork was reporting low temperatures and high wind chills.  By the time we got to the park and bundled up the wind had died down and sun was shining and we had a great time.  Ryder was the only sporting boots and jacket to be shivering at the end of the walk.  I think a lot of it was show.  J and Riley were up their usual tricks.  They have such a good time together.  The funniest thing they do is a bromance dance in the centre of the field.  I wish I could get video of it.  Meeko joined us today and boy was he happy to get out of the truck and stretch those long legs.  And Marty was thrilled that he got to hang with Wilbur.  The two of them are so mischievous.  They would grab onto the leashes and try to pull the other dogs around and they both work diligently to removed Marty's jacket.  Copper found a new little buddy in a pugle named Harley.  Harley is new to Jen's group and the two of them were like Mutt and Jeff.  Copper was very gentle with his new pal.  I wonder how Everest and Joey are going to take having a third Toadie? 

The afternoon group got to play ball for some of the walk.  It seemed that they forgot that they were supposed to bring it back to me so I could chuck it again.  All the dogs worked against each other to see who could steal the ball and play keep away for the longest before being out smarted.  I would say that Wilbur and Shea were the starts of that game.  Mitch and Auzzie tried but could not keep the focus required.  Shea is very sneaky.  She tippy-toes around and then swoops in to snatch the ball as soon as it is dropped and then she sneaks away before the other dog had clued in.  This happened to Wilson several times.  Sidney was not interested in the ball - just the running.  Taylor trotted around the park like a little deer.

What I thought was going to a painful experience turned into a very fun day.
