Walk in the Park

What cute pics!!! I love all your dogs but that Boomer, he's something else! Looks like everyone had fun!

I also hate it when anyone, kids or adults try to pet my dogs without asking. Although if we are in a public place & other peopl are around & I have a dog that I don't fully trust you can bet your bottom dollar that they would always be on a leash!

I love your dogs! They are all beauties. My friend and me took her 3 dogs to the park two days ago. Some teenagers tried to hit BODGER! Her beautiful boxer boy. He ran away from them though! Her other dog are both pups so they can't be let off the leash yet. They are both kelpie/mastiff mixes.

All of your dogs are gorgeous, they look SO happy!

I agree, Boomer does have a really unique look, he's super handsome.

I also HATE IT when people run up to dogs and pet them without even LOOKING at the owner. Especially parents who haven't taught their kids that "No!" means "No!" (and everyone wonders why so many kids get bitten?)... I couldn't even count the number of children who have ran up to my dog, asked to pet him, I said "Sorry, no. He's shy." and they acted like they didn't hear me and continued to pet him. Luckily, Gonzo never growls or nips at children and he really isn't that shy, it's just much better to be safe than sorry with strange kids running up to your dog. You definitely made a smart decision by walking away.

Last week, I was in Petco with my friend. She brought her kittens Lily and Alvin. A little girl came up to me and ASKED if she could pet him. I said sure and it was over. She was very gentle. But of course some eight and 5 year olds came up and started petting them without asking when I was holding them. Molly got pissed and so did I. They pulled little Alvins ears! He meowed really upsetly. I don't pet dogs unless the owners say I can.
