But there were probably 25 poodles on this walk, and everyone had a great time.
Jack did well with the heat, it was in the mid '80's and Alex and Cleo would have melted, I think.
Emmy had it covered in her space suit!

Another great day with Poodles at Play. This time, we were out at Castle Rock park, Walnut Creek. It's a little creek walk that goes up to the Mt Diablo State Park boundary (NO DOGS ALLOWED!)
But there were probably 25 poodles on this walk, and everyone had a great time.
Walter and Oliver ( I just dig Olie...) have a raucous relationship...Oliver's got balls.

We had a great outing with the Oodles of Poodles play group Sunday. Hard to count, as participants came and went throughout the few hours we spent at the Berkeley Marina, but it looked like 20 or so dogs.
Some really beautiful dogs in this group, I was especially taken with a dapper gent named Orlando (you'll see him prance through the little video) and a petite young lady named Vanni.
Jack is getting better at this kind of thing. He doesn't quite recognise himself as "one of those poodle things", but is starting to get it. "Hey... they look like me.. am I one of those?"
When we all started off, the other dogs would run ahead on the trail, playing with each other in typical poodle fashion: chasing, and occasionally boxing with the front paws. Jack thought this was pretty exciting, but didn't realize he was also invited. He'd look back at me as if to say: " is that what I'm supposed to do? It looks like fun, but ...I don't know..." I kept encouraging him to go ahead and play with the other dogs. I guess he gets mixed messages from our walks: "stay close, stay with me" versus 'go ahead and play.. but be nice..." I can see where it could be confusing.
We've got agility coming up on Saturday, and the Poodles at Play group at Castle Rock (Walnut Creek?) on Sunday!
Jack's DOCP injection was today, and I'm getting better at it. He's very good about it.
But I refilled his prednisone prescription yesterday at the vets. Holy smokes! They charged me $43.14 for 60 5mg prednisone tablets. That's $.71 each. They're all over the web at $.09-.10, often with a 10% discount at PetMeds. That's how I'm able to get his Percortin for $165-170/vial.
