Of course everyone else looks wonderful too, but Jiro has stolen the show for me today. Sorry kids.
It looks like everyone had a ton of fun. I'm jealous up here in the north east.
@Crispy we New Englanders need to get organized is all...
Looks like a really great and perfect meet
Nice seeing everyone again, and getting to meet all the pups!
I have a ton of stuff I have to do tonight, so I'll try to get most of the pics up by tomorrow.

@knecha Jiro is such a handsome little man! His coat is awesome and his stature was not at all what I was expecting, in a really cool way. He's so long legged and obviously built for loping through forests. And Saki is so pretty! She has the perfect kuro-tora coat. Blake is a real cool guy too, it was good to meet him!
@Hinata23 ChoCho was awesome as always, she let me give her some light neck scritches too, without a billion treat bribes like in the apartment haha
@Yandharr's Ciqala was such a character this time. She laid claim to the entire dog park and at one point started barking at some dogs about a football field away from us, ran 1/4 of the way to them while barking, then recruited Saru and Saki as if she was like "Saru, Saki, let's roll!" and they all ran over like a little NK Yakuza lmao. Jiro skipped after them to see what was interesting.
Also there was this one really burly lab sort of dog that ran over and was being a bit too rude for Goro's liking, by slapping ChoCho around with his tail (unintentionally). So he started putting on his mean face while slowly zoning him away from the group, and when the lab walked around the other side of the bench, ChoCho put on her mean face and they slowly zoned him away from the group as a tag team. No fighting of course. It was pretty interesting to watch, especially seeing ChoCho like that lol.
Last, but not least. Thanks so much for hanging around until @Sangmort, Brian, and I got there (I blame it on Osy, all her fault!). I got held late at work the night before, so ended up arrive at @Sangmort's at 2:30am. We stayed up for another 2 hours letting the dogs get to know each other. 2 hours doesn't seem like a lot, but it was almost 5am at that point heh. Ren made huge steps at Osy's house and at the park
Pics!
Saru, Goro, Aggro
Ciqala patrolling Gotham, and Goro keeping an eye on the Lab
Checking out the Lab
Goro took a liking to Ren and followed her around, no tail tucking this time from her (it alternated between up and down with the tip curved outward)
Goro and Ren sniffing "Saru's" tree. She looks so tiny next to him!
Saru and his tree. If the Dos Equis man was a dog, it would be Saru.
ChoCho being her pretty self
The Lab about to get zoned out of the group by Goro & ChoCho
ChoCho's serious business face, with Jiro rubbernecking lol
ChoCho says, "Hey you, you and that jerk tail need to get lost!"
non-spitz tails just don't agree with poor ChoCho
Ciqala's giving the camera her mischievous look that says "Heh heh watch me go bark at these fools"
Clockwise from top: Ciqala, Ren, Misaki (Saki). So many Kai in one place!
Saki and Ren getting to know eachother
Ciqala, Kel, Osy, Brian. We trusted them this time so they didn't have to wear harnesses.
Jiro looking handsome!
Why yes, I AM ready for my close-up!
Blue Steel
Ciqala keeping an eye on "her park"
Happy Ciqala
Not happy with the Yellow Lab
Get out of my space Lab!
Making her oni face at dogs 150ft away that were also on the other side of the fence
Grillin'
*Ciqala had been at the park since 8am and it was around noon, she wasn't mean to any other dogs just showed some teeth to get the overly physical dogs to stop running up in her face. We left Ren, Ciqala, and Saru in the car together for a few mins while ordering food, no issues whatsoever. Saru actually took a short nap while cuddled up next to Ren.
Osy, stunning photos, as always.
