Angie ~

So Sorry you felt left out - certainly wasn't intentional!
I remember petting BOTH Buddy and Sierra...
And I think I had Buddy on the leash for a while.

Leaving a dog behind is TOUGH - I had to do that with Cinder
when I was visiting Mom - Smokey was "welcome" in the Village as
a Therapy Dog - but ole Cinder *snapped* once -
and got herself "un-welcomed" forever .
So on super-Hot or -Cold days when she couldn't stay in the car -
she had to stay home and Kat-Sit with the Boots.

If you're not comfortable with bringing Buddy - isn't there SomeOne
that could Dawg-Sit and Play with him for the day -
and let you bring Sierra?
Or Bring-a-Friend with you - and take turns
wandering around the Park with Buddy -
there's LOTS of trails in the woods
across the road from the Bark Park.

I'd like to hear some *Thoughts* from others about how to "handle"
the *snappers* - has anyone actually USED a muzzle on a dog?
Might not be totally *phunn* for he or she who has to *wear* it -
but it would be better than staying home!

You're NOT *alone* with this problem, Angie - and we'd ALL love
to see you and BOTH Kids back at the Gathurin.

I think we should be able to come up with a workable solution!
