It was hard to ignore the sound of galloping paws through the mud on Saturday, as the monthly golden retriever meet up was underway.
Despite the rain, or maybe because of it, the 15-or-so goldens who made it out to the field near the old Discovery Passage Elementary school were having a great time. The energy was high, and the dogs loved the chance to gambol around with new friends, new smells and just all around excitement.
