Lotsa Dawgs
It was fantastic there at Pearson Springs. Lots of dawgs to pet, and lots of folks playing with and petting our mutt. Really a great idea, and I'd hope a smashing success.
Yes, we thoroughly enjoyed
Yes, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, as did our pup, I hope. We had her do the agility course twice. Once when we arrived, to help calm her down/tire her out. Then, again right before we left. He time increased by 25 seconds the second time around.
It sure was a good mix of different breeds/mixes of dogs. I don't know if I have ever seen so many dogs in one place. It was great!
