What a great day!

Although the weather here in San Diego was pretty gloomy all day (May Grey is not going away without a fight!), it also made for perfect marathon running weather.

I didnt run the race this year but had a few friends who were running so I decided to go out and cheer and turn it into a socializing event for Murphy & Kona. Both of them did awesome! Nothing really scared Murphy...not the noisemakers, the clappers, the screaming or the yelling. He met all kinds of dogs and was very well behaved, putting up with all the pets, pats, hugs and kisses from his many admirers. I was so proud of him. :)

After the race we met Billy for lunch in OB at Tower Two Cafe.

Billy & his "hairmet" (a helmet with a wig glued on)

They have great fish tacos and even better a big deck overlooking the ocean where the doggies are allowed to hang out. Murphy did great at his first restaurant experience, no beggin' allowed and since he doesnt really know people food yet he complied by the rules.

After lunch, Jen and I took Murphy and Kona to the Laurel street dog park. It was his first visit to a dog park and I wanted one that was fenced until I knew I could trust him offleash. He had a blast! He was a little shy at first with the other dogs, but quickly warmed up and made a few new friends. He was more confident with the little dogs and puppies than he was with the big dogs, but I think he'll outgrow that when pretty much everyone else around is little. :)

I was able to get this picture of Murphy at the park...and it totally reminded me of one that I had of Tyler. I think they are around the same age in the pictures. Murphy definitely has the goofy ears going on.

He met all kinds of dogs today!

Maltipoo
Great Dane (2 beautiful Blue Merles)
Neopolitan Mastiff (HUGE!!!)
English Mastiff (HUGER!!!)
Rottweiler puppy (3 months)
Labradoodle
Cava-doodle (Kings Charles/Poodle mix)
American Bulldog
Pit Bull
Puggle
Pug
Shepherd
Boxers (2)
Doberman puppy (5 months)
and a number of other various mixes

There was lots of playing, lots of chasing and lots of rough housing.

By the time we left both dogs were pooped and promptly crashed out in the back of the SUV. All in all it was a great way to spend a Sunday!
