So I took the dogs to the private dog park the other day, went as a guest again 'cause I don't have the extra money to buy a membership right now. But it was fun anyway! We stayed for 4.5 hours and had a wonderful time.
And...I think I mentioned last time we went there that we met two of Riley's half-siblings. For a quick fill-in, Riley is one of several (as in 3 litters) of IS puppies that were rescued by humane officers last year. From what I've learned his "breeder" was using 1 dog and 3-4 bitches, breeding all of them at the same time over and over again. So Riley and the 2 we met up with at the dog park have the same dad but most likely not the same mom. We saw them again when we went this past weekend.
4 Irish and a poodle...where are Cadie and Riley? lol, shouldn't be too hard to find.
3 Setter butts!!! Can you tell who is the tallest of the group? LOL
OK, so here are the names of the 2 half siblings. Left is Ruby, right is Rusty. Haha Ruby, Rusty & Riley - I swear we didn't plan it! Aren't Ruby and Rusty so precious though??
But I know what you all really want to see, or rather WHO you want to see! Lol, here's a familiar face.
He loooves to lie down in the baby pools with his tennis ball...I had to take it out of his mouth for the pictures above. He carries one everywhere.
Trying out some agility stuff just for fun....
Notice how am I bribing him with yes, a ball.....
We then tried out the tube/tunnel thing and Riley had no problem with it. Absolutely no problem. Except he loved it a little *too* much, you see.
Yep, he lied down right in it. No commands whatsoever, jI guess he ust thought hey, this is nice n'shady, why not?
The dogs and me.....I looked ridiculous I know, wasn't ready for the pic but I was at the dog park after all! (oh and again notice the tennis ball under my legs. see a common theme throughout these pics? lol)
Come on, mom, you slowpoke.
Pretty Cadie! (Who is on an amped up exercise plan to get her back into shape. I am also no longer spending my money on treats. Mean as it is, my brother and parents give her so many when I tell them not to and I will not have her become seriously overweight. I would like her to lose 5lbs total, though we are going to take it very slowly.)
And finally, the car ride home! Happy face says it all.
That's it. I hope you enjoyed these!
