Dog Park

Casey heard about a local dog park from a friend so we thought we would try it out last weekend. It is the coolest thing. At other parks you have to constantly worry about your dog bugging people and keeping him on leash. Then he can't run around, smelling everything, and getting exercise. At the dog park, everyone has dogs so part of the deal is you don't have to worry that they are annoyed with your dog greeting them or their pet. The dogs absolutely love it. Of course Charlie had to smell everything first before he could just let loose and play. But its so funny cuz the dogs will group up and run around. Someone will throw a ball and 5 dogs will go after it. I think my parent's little poodle would have a heart attack at a place like this, but Charlie loved it. What a fun outing, we will have to make it a regular thing. I hope people keep following the rules so the park doesn't get shut down.

Notice the plastic chairs? My advice if you ever go to the dog park is to not sit in these. They are a fixture of the park...every dog that walks by has to mark it because they smell so interesting. I watched one lady get peed on over and over again.
This dog was in love with Charlie and followed him around all day.

Well that Charlie IS handsome, so I can see why the other dog would follow him around :)

I bet it was funny to watch Charlie play.. sort of how parents love watching their children interact with other kids for the first time.

that's such a good idea....poor animals...they're always having to follow the rules and never get to do what they want.
