The reason I did not come back to the park was because I felt I couldn't bring Buddy with me. Some may remember last fall, I kept Buddy on a leash all day. I took him off twice and he just made me nervous charging at other dogs, I "think" he just wanted to play.. but he also is very very protective of me, and would not let other dogs get close to me. He had NO problems with people comming near me or petting him.
He's a sweetheart.
I felt very left out, and I feel it was because I kept him on a leash. But that's what kept him calm.. as well as piece of mind for myself. Anna and Robin were the two I remember most for trying to make friends with me.
It all just felt weird.... the best thing I remember is how Sierra and Roxey became great friends, and I would have loved to have brought Sierra to the park to play with Roxey and all the other pups again.... but I just couldn't leave my Buddy boy at home. So that's where I'll stay I guess.
When I first joined PetTalk, I thought to myself... Thank God I found people just like me..then to get to go to the park and meet these people and their dogs... how cool!!!!
But then after the park..I guess I feel like I've been pushed out of the "in crowd" as funny as that sounds comming from a 28 year old... it's just the truth. I really wish I would not have gone to the park last fall. Maybe I wouldn't feel like this. Maybe I wouldn't feel like no one likes me. Last year people were making Birthday posters for people, and they had all the dogs at the park put the paw print on the poster. No one asked me to have either of my dogs put their paw prints on it.
Sorry to have gone on like this... but after seeing all the fun you guys had... my emotions have just taken over me.
I'm sure people will have things to say about this... someone ALWAYS does!!
... life just sucks sometimes... it really sucks!
