Our first stop of the day was the Dog Den in Madison for Puppy Playgroup. Banjo romped with a half dozen puppies and, of course, spilled the water bowl. We spent an hour with the big puppies which was much more appropriate. Our concern was him being bullied as opposed to him running over a small puppy. He was so tired that a few times he just laid down in his spilled water to rest, but couldn't resist and quickly rejoined the pack.
The drive down to Janesville allowed Banjo to recover for Pooch Fest (photos)at the wading pool. We met the other OccuPaws canines and about two hundred "new" dogs all with their human companions. For the next three hours Banjo was free to run, swim, sniff, chase, and shake, getting many people wet in the process. 
The wading pool was deep enough that our "little" black dog had to swim. For a dog that enjoys splashing in water bowls, the pool was not as enjoyable as chasing and playing on dry land. It was a long day and everyone was dog tired. We returned home to Oregon, without a dog; Banjo is taking a vacation. His behavior has improved (is manageable), so he will be spending the next couple days at Champion's Resort in Beloit.
