Decided to take the dogs out for some exercise, so got up this morning and took them to the park before it got too hot. Naturally they were stupid excited and burned out a lot of their energy before we even got halfway around the loop. I went to cut through a large grassy area, let them sniff around, and not be so distracted by joggers/bikers/other dogs, and made a fatal error in judgement.
Some areas that looked flat, really weren't, and we ended up in wet, soggy spots. OK, not too big a deal, keep going and get across... Until we got into a swampy section that had enough water to splash when walking. To top that off, the large one decided she wanted to lay down in it.
And when I told her to get up, she started army crawling through it.
The smaller 2 figured that was a great idea, so they laid down in the water too. Great so I have 3 wet and filthy dogs, with zero towels in the EXT.
Got 3/4 through the lap and stopped at a shelter. Gave them some water, and let them rest for a while.

Got home and they were wiped out, which was nice. They all went to sleep, no pacing, whining to go outside, or following me all over the house every time I got off the couch lol A little while ago, let them out back so they could do their business, if they needed to, and they each found a spot to lay down right after being let out. I thought that was funny.

After about 10 minutes of that, I started getting hot, so tried to heard them back inside. THAT is when they decided they wanted to sniff around and explore. Nope! Too late, back in the house. Y'all can run around when the sun starts to set and there's more shade back there.![Ha-Ha-No! :hahano: :hahano:](/forums/smilies/hahano.gif)
