She Shan trip and dog's playdate

Today we arranged a play date between our dog, Muffin with with John and Song Shen (Bill's colleague and his wife)'s dog, Newton.

We went to their apartment around noon, and then Song Shen drove us to She Shan's park in Pudong Area.

It's a big park where you can have fun, and you can bring your dog to have fun together (unlike most other parks in China)
We pay the ticket, 80 RMB/adult, and 30RMB/dog. And starts our fun time.

It was sunny and hot (summer !), and we walk around to find a spot to sit.
The park was is so nice and big.
It has lots of grass, and they have a lake, and sandy beach !!

We start to walk the dog on the sand, off leash.
And I was walking near the water to lure Muffin to get closer and check the water.
Muffin came over, and start to drink from the lake...
then he walk closer closer and closer, and then his feet are on the water.
Newton came over and did the same thing too.
Muffin walk further away from the beach, and suddenly half of his body is in the water !!!
And Newton did the same thing too !
Both dogs look so happy and proud of themselves, and I was surprised too
I thought wimpy muffin won't be able to get himself to the water, but he did !!!

Here are some pictures :

Muffin stand in the water so his feet got all wet, then he came back to the beach to run in circle and head straight away to the water and got his body all wet :D

Then Bill and John took off their shoes and walk into the water as well, to play with the dogs.
And they also throw the dogs into the water.
We have 2 wet dogs, and it was so funny to see them swimming back to the beach.

Muffin got really wet and looks really skinny like a rat... hahaha....

 Then we ate some bbq, and we got into this bouncy dome and of course we have to try it !!

Bill jumping very high on the dome

Jumping Bill and John, before they got their blisters !

Then we walk down to find some place to lay down in the shade, and we need to pass some obstacle, like the one we find if we're hiking, and Muffin did it very very very well !!!

It's really great, we are very proud of him.

He's so active and he is so great in the nature !!!

We are very positive that he will do good in the nature or wilderness or during hiking

Great job, Muffin !

It was a really good day for everybody (and the dogs too!)

And this is how the day ended :

The boys fall asleep

(Muffin has showered and as clean as snow)
