the symphony of dog

The crisp air surrounded Roxy, Ben, Belle and Rocky during our hike through High Park. Roxy & Rocky stayed close while Ben & Belle chased each other through the forest... Ben was lightning compared to Belle. We ran into many, many other packs out and about. It was a great social time for the pups.
Duncan got straight to business when we headed out. He spent the rest of his time sniffing out his favourite spots for the rest of his walk.
Jake & Joey provided the music for the car ride to the park with a piece they called 'symphony of dog'. Joey, Otto, Jake, Dixie, Muskoka and Harley were creek-bound this afternoon. When we arrived, Joey & Jake were chasing each other in circles. I didn't question not bringing the chuck it. Muskoka was after Dixie, all she wanted to do was play.. Dixie ran from her clumsy paws. The two pups learned to play well with each other by the end of the walk. Joey was very social and entertained 2 different pooches, she burned a ton of energy through play and chase. Jake was disappointed I didn't bring my chuck it, so he engaged in play with Tia's. He was happy to chase the tennis ball, then turned to sticks once Tia had left. Joey was down for this game.. the two had a competition for better sticks. Otto was entertained by the other pups, that he couldn't hold himself back from the tail end of a chase. It kept him warm! Harley was less than impressed.. he wished he seemed disinterested when I said "walk" earlier. He continued to let us all know  :|
Hunter and Dante took a short cut home.. Hunter stuck to the grass making sure to stop for extra long pees. Dante was falling out of his jacket, he kept busting the chest open.. must be his new walk regime!
