Well Duncan and I actually DID make it to the park tonight! It was touch and go for a little while! Like when Duncan barked at the poor cyclist who then fell off his bike and cursed at me (True story!) And we had to go about 10 miles out of our way to get there! I'm not complaining though because in some parts of Jersey, people's entire houses are underwater! So riding in the Civic with Duncan, although difficult, pales in comparison! (Kind of)
But we made it! And it was a disaster The park was very small with a 4 ft. fence so immediately I'm worried! Because to Duncan, 4 ft is nothing if there is a *gasp* squirrel on the other side

We haven't been around other dogs since we moved here in December so I was nervous. I walked him around it for a few minutes and then..in we went! There were lots of big dogs there, bigger than Duncan. He's used to being the biggest one in the crowd so that was a new experience. He did well for the first 15 minutes or so. And then for some unexplained reason, he started chasing a little yellow lab very aggressively and we had to leave (He caught the poor guy once and was holding him down and snarling and the dog was crying)
So my anticipated trip to the NJ dog park was a disaster!!! I was so hoping that Duncan would make some friends there and to be honest, I was hoping to also! I don't know anyone in this state and I thought "What a great place to meet people with similar interests!" Sadly we left dejected and friendless. Maybe yesterday's ordeal was a sign But we still have each other so it's all good I guess!!!

One strange thing that happened...there were alot of purebred dogs there, a Bernese, a doberman, an old english sheepdog, a shepherd...which I thought was neat but unusual. As we were leaving, the owner of the Doberman said "That is why I don't rescue dogs."
I was so angry I wanted to go back and let Duncan loose on her but...I didn't.
Sorry the story wasn't as funny as the first...I'm sure Duncan and I will have more adventures that I can share that will bring y'all more laughs!
