Too Much Fun

Last weekend Morey and I went to a rugby gathering at "Stevie's house". When we showed up I found out that one of my other teammates had brought his new dog, a husky named Whiskey. Morey and Whiskey's first introduction happened in a hallway with Morey on leash and let's just say it wasn't an ideal situation. Once the dogs were both outside, however, they greeted each other quite nicely and then basically ignored each other for the rest of the afternoon. Whiskey just didn't seem to appreciate the enthusiasm and antics of the labs!

I can't say that was the case with Stevie. She and Morey were happy to see each other and Stevie pretty much followed him around the whole time we were there. The only place she didn't follow him was into the pool. Morey seemed to have a goal of emptying the pool by jumping in, swimming around and then getting out and shaking off a large amount of water. Stevie wanted to follow Morey into the pool but the first step was too deep and when she tried to walk in she ended up face first in the water. While Morey was swimming in the pool Stevie would stand on the edge and bark. She accidentally fell in a few times and seemed to enjoy it while she was in the water. Once she gets a little bigger hopefully she'll be able figure out the stairs!

Pool Party!

Wet, dirty and happy!

 Morey and Stevie alternated some indoor play time with the outdoor pool time. I have to admit Morey might have hogged the toys because he didn't realize the difference in size and strength between him and Stevie.

 

After a few hours all the dogs were worn out enough that I could manage to get them to hold still long enough to get a "group picture".

The Aftermath

 

 

Morey pretty much conked out once we got home after his 4 hours of fun. I could barely get him off the couch to let him out one last time before bed. The following day Morey was still "hung over" from all his fun. He moved slower than I've ever seen him and it was like we had time traveled into the future and Morey was suddenly 15 years old. Thankfully it was nothing that a full day and night of sleep couldn't fix!
