    Our new dogpark

    We finally got Star's tags and took her to the local dogpark..It's not much to look at, just an area fenced off (only 4' fencing in some places) and filled with mulch. People bring jugs of water. There are about 3 benches. No trees.
    There were several dogs that arrived after we did, everyone got along fine. There was a really cute Jack Russel that followed Star all around. Her name is Snowbelle, and the two kids are her owners. The kids were really precious. The little girl was just a delight, and her brother tried so hard to get a dog, any dog, to fetch! He collected all the balls from the park, but the dogs were busily entertaining themselves. Met one guy who used to do GSD rescue, and had a very sharp looking young GSD. And there was a very sweet old labby (who was 17!) kind of tottering around.



    This little red guy looked like a mini version of Anna's Huney! Star & the white boxer played together a bit.


    That's it for now!

    No trees.
    Pat, maybe some of you that frequent the dog park could get together and get a few little trees planted. I'll bet Star enjoyed a day out with some new friends.

    I was just reading in your blog about the park. Too bad there's no trees but it sure looks like there were some cute dogs there-in particular the one that looks like Huney.
    I'm glad you have a park that Star can go to and meet some new friends.

    Many (((HUGS)))

    Great idea Phred! Count me in too if you decide to do that Pat!

    You and Star were spoiled having such a great park so close to home here in Ohio. But at least she still gets to spend time at a dog park and you both get to meet new friends!

    Looks nice, I hope they can get some trees put in real soon!

    I wish they would do something like that here too.

    Aw, glad you were able to find a new place for Star to run around and play. It looks like she is well on her way to making new friends already (love that Chow mix). Let us know if you are interested in putting one in in Sherman's memory (I would be interested too).

    Looks like she had a great time! I bet she was glad that you found a new place for her to run and play. Great pictures. I hope you'll be ableot to plant a tree there though, it definitely looks like it needs something.
