Corgis Invade Balboa Park!

Sidney and I are members of the San Diego Corgi Meetup group, which has huge meetups once a month at different locations around our county. The August meetup was at Balboa Park, in downtown San Diego. It's a huge, beautiful historic park full of museums, gardens, bridges, ponds and even the "World Famous San Diego Zoo".

This was our first visit to the Balboa Park dog park. I let Sidney off leash once we were inside the gate, and I wanted to see how far the park went (I could not see the end of the fence and wanted to see how far it went). I soon realized that, although Sid was off leash and there were dogs running everywhere, he stayed right by me as I walked through the park. I was so happy, since I've never had him walk with me off-leash before for safety's sake. He stayed withing about 10 feet of me as we walked...good boy! We finished checking out the park and headed to the side where the corgis were gathering. I love to sit on the ground at these meetups so the pups can come up for a pat or to sit in my lap. Sidney played quite a bit and met up with old friends and new, but I could tell he was keeping an eye on me.

After an hour's playtime, we headed out on a corgi parade! We would walk from one end of the park to the other and gather at the big fountain for a group photo. As we were walking, people were waving and one young lady was shouting "I love corgis!". Many folks stopped us to ask us what kind of dogs they were. It was so cool.

The weather was perfect and the dogs had a blast. Sidney was exhausted once we got home. It was worth the 45 minute drive and I hope we'll go again sometime.

Here are some photos:
