Super Kane Day Saturday

We haven't had a Kane Day for a little while. Today was not only a Kane Day, but also a Super Kane Day Saturday. We were out for most of the day on three outings.

This morning we walked to the vet to use their scales. Kane's weight was 42.0 kg, although the initial reading was 41.6 kg. I was expecting around 40.0 kg, which would be his ideal weight.



On the way out, we met Desker and Tuller, the Shelties. Desker was on his way in to be weighed as well. We also met another dog who was a Rhodesian Ridgeback cross, but had more Greyhound/Great Dane in him.

On the way back, we stopped by Mary and Margaret's place. Momo was excited to see Kane, who mostly ignored him. I had a coffee and Kane finished off Momo's breakfast of cooked chicken.



On our way home, we came across Dusty, the old brown Kelpie who lives across the street. Dusty was on his way to the vet to collect his medication.

It was a great morning outing of about two hours.

Early in the afternoon, we walked to the shops. After I had finished grocery shopping, we walked around the outside of the complex and then home via the greenway. The outing was about an hour and a half, although I left Kane for about 20 minutes outside the shops.

After a few hours rest, Jake came to the door to invite us on a walk to Macquarie oval. It was perfect timing as there was a big puppy party in session. Unfortunately, there was a black dog called Saxon who insisted on exerting his top dog status, which Kane didn't like. Saxon was also not desexed. Eventually, Saxon was put back on his lead.



It's been a pretty exciting and tiring day.
