Sept 5, 2010 - Labor Day weekend Findlay OHIO

I called and left a message at the ranger station and &itched about the park not being all the way open and the fact we don't have to pay for it anymore that anyone can bring aggressive dogs out there without their shots. Paying the $10 a year kept the unresponsible pet owners out.

That was what I was thinking too. I know BG has a fee, and I would certainly pay it to help weed out some of the losers that come to Findlays with their nasty animals.

Yes, that is my only thing... I do not keep with a yearly vaccine schedule for the same reason... but I could always buy the vaccine with record and not use it :-P Oh, I'm so naughty hahahaha

And Robin you know your dogs well enough to leave them at home if you think there might be a personality conflict b/n them and another dog. Not everyone does that. I remember being there several years ago and seeing a lady in there with 4 other dogs and when she saw me coming she grabbed her dogs and asked me to stand up by the track b/c one of her dog's was extremely dog aggressive and reactive. She muzzled him before she left and she very chipper when she left and said "THANKS SO MUCH FOR STANDNING OVER THERE AND HAVE A GREAT DAY!" I know all dogs need exercise but THANK GOD that lady knew her dog well enough to warn me and not let me go in and have my dog attacked.

Monica I know I told you that our park here in Upper isn't that big and there isn't a lot of other dogs but that's ok b/c I LIKE it that way. Keegan doesn't get overly juiced about the dog park anymore. She's content to hang at home or my parents or a friends house. And let me tell you that place is a Godsend when I watch Annie (the white dog I had that day) b/c she is used to a fenced in yard and I don't have one. And its UBER-CLOSE to me - so handy to run her down there 2-3 times a day. Now if I ever need a dog park to socialize a dog to several dogs it isn't ideal but to just have a place for them to stretch their legs is fabulous!
I don't keep Keeg on a vaccine schedule at her age - pros vs cons really - I would like to have her titered to see if they are needed at all but when I asked my vets office about them when the vet tech asked another if we do "taters" here, I knew I wasn't going to get anywhere fast!

Ohh Staci, I know, I just get to feeling so guilty sometimes and like a bad pet owner and it just came out in that post. I'm sorry about that.

Lol >.< 'taters' That is what I plan on doing for Delta this year. I'm calling them that from now on. hahaha

But Keegan probably does have natural immunity from her age now...

Anywho, Delta entertains herself at the dog park and will just run by herself. Lol She's rather easy to please. I like a few dogs to be at the dog park, but not a mass of them... gets too overwhelming, especially now because the dog park is so small. -.-

I was over there today, and now they have both sides opened up! It's a little crazy- kinda hard to keep track of your dog sometimes because there is a partial fence and so many places to go. But tons of room to run too
