Adventures of Milo

Milo decided to have quite an adventure this weekend. Friday we took him to the dog park with our friends Katie and Jesse. We love going to Tanner Park which is a dog park at the mouth of parleys canyon that is huge to say the least where you can have your dogs off the leash and mingle or just go on fun walks through the trees, next to the river, on the mountain or just in the field. Yes all that in one place! Fabulous! Needless to say this is Milo's favorite place. In the past when we have gone there have been dogs about every 100 yards or so. Perfect for a little dog and getting his attention when need be. However friday must have been national dog day because there was literally a bajillion dogs. Okay not literally but there was dogs everywhere you could see. People with even very well trained dogs were having problems keeping them by them; and as you can imagine Milo was quite overwhelmed with all the dogs and had to see/meet as many of them as he could in 2 minutes and ran all over the place. We of course looked like chickens with our heads cut off yelling for Milo and chasing after him. During the walk people who we had never even seen before would walk past Milo and say "Oh Hi Milo!" like they'd known him for forever. That boy sure knows how to get around! lol. He did have a little incounter with a bull dog. About the same size as him however the bull dog got his whole mouth around Milo's back. I have never seen Milo yelp the way he did then. I guess lesson learned Milo is no longer the king of the mountain like he thought he was.

By the end of the walk we got to the pond where dogs can swim around. We were trying to get Milo to go in and in his attempts to go around the pond actually slid down a 10ft concret wall smack into the water. We all just kinda stood around watching to see what he would do... however time went by and by and he still had not come up out of the water. My motherly instincts made my heart drop and start to get nervous that he wasnt coming up. I yelled to Jon and we must have one mind because the same time I yelled he was in the water going in after him. Poor Milo almost drowning! Jon said when he got to him Milo just couldnt figure out which was up and which was down but as soon as his head got out of the water he began to dog paddle. Hopefully he'll be willing to get in the water again!Jesse was quick with his phone and got a picture of Jon and Milo coming out of the water.
