Angie,

It is good that you have shared your feelings with us. It was difficult that day with so many locals and pet talker dogs in the park to get around visiting with everyone. I am sure no one meant to make you feel left out. I guess because I usually bring 3 (and leave 2 at home) that I spend so much time making sure mine are behaving that I sometimes don't get around to visiting as much as I would like to. I think because I am from Findlay I felt responsible for what happened at the park. Because of some things that have happened with the Park board I no longer feel that way - all though I do feel I have to keep an eye on my 3some to make sure Snoopy isn't barking too much or jumping on people, and Taggert isn't finding baby bunnies and hurting them and Jack isn't growling because someone is trying to share his space under the picnic table. I really think you should try it again. As Phred said I am sure we can come up with a workable solution with Buddy.

One thing I have also found in any group situation is that sometimes that lots of people are shy or hesitant in knowing how to begin conversations with newer people. I think of myself as shy, I know others see me as standoffish. Just because you didn't feel comfortable that day that it meant anything about you personally or your dogs. As in any group, it sometimes is easier some days than others to talk to everyone. Please come back as soon as you can!
