We have a Canada Dog Guides building just around the corner where they train service dogs for all kinds of duties. They have a fund-raising walk every year and, as all the dogs (and most of the humans) are well behaved, Ray participates extremely well.
It was a particularly hot and humid day for it this year (Yesterday 29th) and, based on Ray’s body language we decided to cut it short. Ray has never been a high energy dog and we do not know whether there is some residual internal damage from his heart-worm episode, or whether it was simply the weather being a little oppressive. We were not prepared to force the issue and, instead, headed back to the Dog Guides Building where we enjoyed complimentary burgers under the shade of a tree!
Of course Ray was not eligible for a burger… but he did quite well (if you know what I mean!)
Later that day, when things had cooled down a little, we took Ray out again and as soon as we started on our walk, he navigated his way to where the BBQ was! He seemed rather confused and distinctly disappointed that it had all somehow disappeared!
Are you sure Ray isn’t part bloodhound? 🙂

Based on his DNA… absolutely certain. Based on his tracking habits and abilities… hmmmmmmm!

Sharing is caring, R. I hope there was enough burger for you!
Love and licks,

Sounds like Ray and I both are disappointed when food places disappear! (Choppy would feel the same as well.)

Yes… but you can probably come up with some reasons to explain the disappearing food place. Poor Ray just stands and looks dejected. 🙂

It has been terribly hot here as well. We went from a little bit of Spring to intense Summer! Glad Ray was so well behaved, but poor guy in finding his way to the BBQ and it being gone. Someone deserved a treat! 🙂

We did. It was just unfortunate that the weather was more July/August than May!

Ray, I know how disappointing it is when food suddenly disappears but the scent is still there!

You’re so right Lexus buddy! All around the grass in that area were really strong scents of people food which they often share with me! I’ll probably drag Carol and Colin back there later today just to see if the burger place reappeared! You never know! 🙂

You are so right, Ray. You have to check it at least 87 times before you can be sure. You called me Lexus, BOL! I have 2 other friends who call me that!
