{16feb2011: reunion party part 2}

Did you see the first part of the birthday/family reunion?  Well here's part two!


Once we got the pupcakes handed out and gobbled down, we headed in the park so everyone could relax and have a good time.
Darwin had given Boo Radley a birthday gift of a rubber monkey which he proudly carried through the park (the whole time).

Carrying a monkey makes you a very popular fellow.
{Gino goes in for his brothers monkey}
{Olive (not related, but sister to Kona) tries her turn at it}
{Darwin's turn to try and steal it, while Olive and Porky (brother) watch on. Kona (brother) couldn't be bothered with a monkey}
Darwin was constantly trying to run away from Porky.
But he was very persistant.  
Memphis tried to join in the sibling party time.
And someone left their old yellow lab amongst the group while he barked and barked and barked and barked and barked at the chaos of Danes.  (He was alone, barking nonstop for a good 15 minutes before his owner came back to take him away.)
You can hear the barking yellow lab and see some of the madness in this video.
After a while Porky was distracted by the younger blue, Olive.
He even gifted her with a giant slim trail on her back.
After all of Darwin's barking when he first showed up, Remi was cautious approaching her.
Soon another sister showed up, Sydney!  And her older neice, London. (Sydney's mom's daughter owns London.)
Sydney is so tiny compared to the rest of the siblings (we've met).  You can see how much smaller in this picture (you can also see her neice London in the background with the red collar).
Meanwhile, Porky continued his love affair with Darwin.
And here's more video of the dogs by the water.

Part three to come!

    I'm so envious that you get to keep in touch with Darwin's siblings and able to arrange meetups like this! Wish I had that for Honey!

  10. Dear Darwin,
    Firstly I have to say that it is a complete mystery to me how Kona could not be interested in that monkey!
    Secondly i love that park! I have never seen anything like it! Well i have but not where I would actually be allowed off leash!
    Thirdly, that porky! Doesn't he know that you are owned by no dog!


    your pal,
    Delta
