Dog walking

We've just got back from the SPCA kennels where we walked 6 dogs. The kennels are about 10 minutes up the state highway from us on a road called Lemon Grove. The kennels are as nice as kennels can be. Most of the dogs are not in kennels but tethered on long ropes so they can wander around and sleep under the trees in the shade. There are about 20 dogs in total - there was a litter of 7 very young puppies named after the seven dwarfs.

First, we walked Mac and Marley, two 12 week old labrador cross puppies. Neither of them could walk in a straight line and were very playful! Very sweet though.

Next out was Samson (a staffie-like older puppy) and Pepper (a black labrador). We walked with two of the other regular dog walkers who showed us the route for the bigger dogs. The walk is through the lemon orchards which is very pleasant - the trees were full of fruit.

Our last two were Ned and Salt (sister of Pepper). We don't know what breed Ned is - he's about a year old and was very well behaved. Salt is about six months old and very energetic!
