What a day for the corgis!

Benny and his ma (Zephyr 9779), Dexter (boarding with them because his parents went on holiday), Barnabas and I went to Pegamart this morning.

Pegamart has this big doggy pool outside their store and the three boys did some swimming. Dexter surprised us when he decided to jump into the pool without his jacket at one point....(we had removed his jacket thinking he had enough of the pool...). He swam very well- steady and fast! For a dog who wasnt too excited about swimming- it was quite an improvement from the first time his ma and I brought him to the pool a month or so ago. I was impressed.

Barn got on well with Dexter but did his Darth Vader impersonation when he encountered Benny. Benny kept clear of Barn (wise!), did a bit of swimming (I will let his ma tell you how he fared) and enjoyed the iced doggy treats....He had a great time making friends with a Golden Retriever who was there at the pool.

We had lunch after sending Barnabas back home. Then Benny and Dexter went to the groomer to get their nails clipped. I picked up Trax (my 13 year old boy) and brought him to the groomer as well. While waiting for the groomer- the two young boys (Benny and Dexter ) played with the two GRs there and with each other non stop. I think Dexter never had so much fun in his life! Not sure if he wants to go home when his parents return...Ha.

Trax just watched the fun. And scolded everyone when he thought it was getting too rowdy.

Groomer Jennifer arrived. Dexter submitted to getting his nails clipped. It was a pleasant experience for him. Benny was a bit more apprehensive. But he did well- Benny's ma will probably share about the experience. Trax enjoyed the fuss he was getting. A trim, a shower, nail clipped, ears cleaned.

Here are the photos....

Sounds like a fun day! I bet the dogs were tired after their big day. Once again, great pictures!

That is so cool Pegamart has a pool outside for dogs. That would be the meeting place for Tucker and his pals if we had somethin like that around here.

I am picking up some fencing tonight to fence off the waterfront at my house. Unfortunately, my property is cut in half by our road. So I have to cross the road to get down to my docks on the lake. The dogs stay in the yard because I have the electric fence and they respect their perimeter. But down by the lake, all bets are off.

So I will fence in the area and we can have big swim parties! Tuck's day care buddies love to come over and have serious games of water fetch. They will swim out after toys for hours.

Wowie, Artos is so fast at getting the pictures up.

Benny still wants to play. Dexter is tired. Haha...i think he needs to rest anyway, too much activity and he's limping slightly.

At this exact moment, i'm on the floor, Dexter on my right, Benny on my left. Benny is trying his doggest to will Dexter into playing. Dexter is smart and has learnt that if he doesnt want to play anymore, he can just run and lie next to me for shelter.

Well, I've updated Benny's blog and its got all the gritty details within. Again, thanks to Artos...!!! Without her, this day wouldn't have turned out so fantasitically!!!

Thanks, Zoe! Thanks for the day. Enjoyed it. Had to get all the photos up asap because I have to go back to work on Friday.

You are fast too- the blog's great!

Great shot of Barn's rear(we always said it looked like a girl's ponytail)....and videos of Dexter and Benny playing!

Benny's a great wrestler. I loved the way he tries to hold Dexter down with his body. Haha.

The shot of Benny with his eyes open, waiting for sleeping Dexter to wake up-is priceless!
