My Second 5k!!!!!!

I did my second 5k race yesterday.  It was the Fremont Oktoberfest 5k. 

You can see my post from last year's Oktoberfest 5k here. 

Me and dad chillin' before the race...

This is a really good dog friendly race.  There were more dogs this year.

Me and mom after finishing the race...

 Our time was 32:19.

That was more than 3 minutes faster than last year!!!

Course, I didn't stop for a poop break either and only had one 3-second pee stop.

Since it was 'Dogtoberfest', I got to take mom and dad into the beer tasting area.

The weather was nice during the run, but it started dripping later.

Me and dad got under this tent to keep dry. 

 I was really hoping that dude would drop that yummy smelling food item,

but no such luck.



It was a great time again and even better that I set a new PR!!!

Can't wait til my next race!



A New Dog Park Adventure!

Mom surprised me this morning and took me to a park I've never been to before:  Magnuson Park.

It was a little bit of a drive to get there, but it was a big place.

I'm always a little wary of new places like this.  You never know what kind of dogs (or humans) will show up.  So I put my game face on (aka: Don't mess with my momma).

After deciding it was a relatively safe place for us, I did a little exploring:

Can't let mom get too far away.

I ran into another Ridgeback.  She's 8-years-old and still in good shape.

Can you tell which one is me?

 Her humans seemed pretty nice, too!

Lookin' to see if maybe my buddy, Memphis, will show up.

It was a pretty big park and had a nice walking loop.

We met up with Memphis by the beach.

As you can see, HE was thrilled!

Me....not so much!

Water is not high on my list of fun (or even bearable) activities.

Memphis: "Check it out Remi. This is how it's done. You gotta at least get your feet in it."

Remi:  " I dunno, man.  It smells kinda funky."

Remi:  " Ok.  Uhhhh......hmmm.  Feels kinda....wet!  Yuck!

Memphis:  "Woooo Hooo!!!!"

Remi:  "whoopee (heavy sarcasm).   Ok.  I'm outta here."

Ok, so it was cool going to a new park.  It was big, they had lots of poop bags, drinking water, a nice walking trail, human porta-poop stations, and the humans seemed nice and attentive to their 4-legged friends.  But, considering the drive to get there and all the yucky water, I'm only giving it 3 paws (out of 4, of course). 

Mom said we might try a different park again next week.

I'm hoping she skips the ones with 'water features.'
