2010-12-21 Central Dog Park on a Cold Tuesday Afternoon

Posted on December 21, 2010 | Leave a comment

On the shortest day of the year, Scraps and Rags decided to go to the dog park on a cold Tuesday afternoon.  Arriving at 2:00 p.m., we knew there wouldn’t be many dogs at the park and our premonition proved to be  true. Only Samson was in the small dog park and a handful of large dogs in the large one.  Scraps and Rags didn’t play much with Samson so we headed to the big dog park and ran a couple of laps around the perimeter.  The path was was frozen, barren and fast with only a few slippery muddy spots. With most of the grass gone, it’s better to go to the dog park in the freezing cold rather than the thawing warm.  It’s gonna be a messy spring and after today we continue to head right toward it with longer brighter days ahead of us.

2010-12-18 Central Dog Park on a Cold Saturday Afternoon

Posted on December 18, 2010 | Leave a comment

In December, it has been tough for Scraps and Rags to find the chance to get to the dog park.  This Saturday was nice and sunny so that the cold temperature was not too much of a problem.  We were able to spend an hour in the small dog park with some of our old friends.  For the most part we had a good time except for a viscous skirmish Rags got into with Simba.  Good thing I was quick on the pull as I hoisted Rags in the air quickly before too much damage was done.  Short of that, it was a nice day with some nice pictures.  I liked Gracie’s red outfit, it reminded me of the PJ’s Agarn and O’Rooke used to wear on F-Troop.

2010-12-11 Central Dog Park on Saturday Afternoon

Posted on December 11, 2010 | Leave a comment

It is a nice sunny warm Saturday afternoon and  it was time to get Scraps and Rags out of the house and to the dog park.  They haven’t been to the dog park for two weeks now and we couldn’t waste this nice weather so we hit up the park for an hour or so.   The ground was hard and frozen so it was a pleasure to walk on but it is a bit depressing to see how all the grass is gone.

There was a nice crowd of dogs out there a a few new ones to the dog park blog.  There was Bella, the 6-month old black Lab-Border Collie mix.  She was very playful and we she welcome her and refer to her a BellaLab. We also had Jack the fluffy white Nordic looking dog.  Oliver the Westie and Bruno the Bulldog pup.

After a good hour in the small dog park with chasing the balls and the dogs we headed into the large dog park.  We saw many more dogs in there and played for a while and then did a lap and headed home.  A nice day at the park with a lot of good photographs.

2010-11-28 Central Dog Park on Sunday Afternoon

Posted on November 28, 2010 | Leave a comment

Sunday was by far the nicest day of the Thanksgiving holiday weekend.  Though cold, the strong sun combined with no winds made it a very nice day at Morris County’s dog park. There were a lot of dogs enjoying the opportunity to get out and enjoy the sunshine.  Scraps and Rags arrived around 11:00 to find no small dogs in the small dog park. The big dog park was quite active so we went into it only to find all the small dogs were in the big park.  It was good to see Sebastian survived and thrived.  Finally, you have to check out the variety of outfits worn by the dogs.

Most of the dogs were back at the far side of the park as the area where most people congregate has turned muddy and slippery.  This situation is only going to get worse because we still have not had a lot of rain or a snow melt since the dog park has opened; and a lot of the grass is gone.  Mudfests await us all in our dog park future, so I suggest everyone get a good set of boots for when it comes.

Scraps ad Rags eventually meandered into the small dog park around 12:30 as a nice crowd assembled in there.  We met a cool new dog named Wilson, a recent rescue with the wild eyes.  It was his first time to the dog park so we welcome him to both the park and the blog.  We also had Penny the MiniPin who is new to the blog so welcome to her.

The sunlight was good and I was able to capture some good action in the photographs.  With all the dogs, the good lighting and the 2.5 hours we spent at the dog park I took the most photos I have taken so far at the dog park, so check them out.
