David and Eileen took us to one today in Poway, which is the town they lived in before they became RV full-timers. We packed up the dogs and climbed in their mobility van (David has a ramp to get up into the van behind the drivers' seat with his power chair. He locks it down and then climbs into his seat which is equipped with hand controls.) Eileen, the two Maggies, and I were quite comfy in the back seat while Roger rode shotgun.

The sun was shining, it was 84 today, and there were lots of people like us looking for a nice day out. There were greens, vegetables of all kinds, fruit, soaps, breads, and a few food vendors. We picked up some fresh produce, some home made doggie cookies, fresh pasta noodles, and some very expensive chocolate!

There was an abundance of flower vendors, and again, the colors were eye popping! Almost everyone had an armful of bouquets.

Our Maggie got tired and hot but we found a cool cement slab in the shade and took time out to cool off her tummy while we people watched. She did really well with the crowds and all the strange sniffs and noises. She met other nice dogs and one not so nice dachshund who snapped and growled at her. She just backed away and went about her business. She was such a good dog today.
The other Maggie got to ride around in the power chair! You can see her head in Dave's lap checking stuff out.
We left the market and found a restaurant with outdoor seating and had a nice lunch while we rested and got cooled off - the dogs sitting at our feet in the shade. From there we went to the town's dog park and the Maggies got to run around loose with some other small dogs that were there. They chased the balls and just enjoyed being free. They finally just collapsed under the picnic table where we were sitting in the shade and we knew it was time to take the poor tired dogs home
It was a lovely outing and fun was had by one and all - and Roger didn't have to drive!
Sounds Nice - and the Maggies had a Great time. I'm glad you two are getting out an enjoying spring! Our weather here is being a bit Bipolar, warm one minute cold front the next. We will get there in the next few weeks. All is well here, except extensive dental visits for me thanks to medication taken last year for migraines. Not a fan of the dentist but I knocked out quite a bit Monday. Hope to get the rest done in May once we have made more $$$. It truly sucks that in trying to find a cure for one thing (Migrianes) I developed issues in other areas, Cavities! Ready to get it all done Now! My Patience has not gotten better with age unfortunately.
ReplyDeleteKinsey is growing like a weed and is such a sweet girl as long as she's not having a meltdown. Ryan is well and were looking forward to a Good report card coming in the next week or so.
Love from FL!
