2010-10-02 – Central Dog Park After Agility Trial

Posted on October 2, 2010 | Leave a comment

Though cool, this first Saturday in October proved to be a beautiful day. Scraps had been competing in a CPE agility trial at Lewis Morris Park all day but we got done with that at 5:00 so we had time to drive home, feed both Scraps and Rags and head to the Central Dog Park to get some play time in before dark.

Mozly ran after a deer when she was not on leash in the parking lot. We almost lost her. Be careful out there and leash your dog!

There were lots of dogs in the large dog park including 4 Bassett Hounds and a Beagle named Mozly who was off leash in the parking lot when leaving and when a deer caught his eye, Mozly was off. He ran down Collins toward the woods and Central Avenue. For about an hour a posse tried to track him down and it wasn’t looking good for a while as night time was approaching. We heard someone in a neighborhood called the number on his collar and we assume Mozly was found. The lesson should ring home for all of us not to take the dog’s safety for granted. The rule is dogs must be on a leash outside the fenced dog park and it is a good rule that we all need to follow for our dogs’ sake!

2010-10-01 Central Dog Park on Friday Evening

Posted on October 1, 2010 | 2 comments

Welcome Kiwi to MorrisCountyDogPark.com

After a week of rain, the clouds finally began to disperse on Friday afternoon where slowly but surely the dogs began to come out of hiding. When we arrived at the dog park around 5:15 there was only one dog in the small dog park and just 4 or 5 in the large one. We spent a few minutes in the large one trying to use the few remaining rays of light for pictures, but to no avail. We then played with Kiwi, the really cute Corgy, in the small dog park. She would pose for the camera and would chase tennis balls all day long. Let’s welcome Kiwi to the blog and hope we see more of her.

We returned to the large dog park where it was getting late but Scrap and Rags had some good play time with Patches and his brother MiloLong the brown Dachshund. Though I didn’t get pictures of Phoebe he was there with his newly adopted brother brother Shylo, so let’s also welcome Shylo to the family. As Scraps is competing in agility trials all weekend long at Lewis Morris Park we probably won’t see any of the dog park dogs during the weekend but enjoy the sun for it is likely to be brisk nice outside.

2010-09-28 Central Dog Park After Sunset

After a few days of rain, the sky cleared up enough just before the 7:00 p.m. darkness to let Scraps and Rags out to enjoy the dog park. It was nice outside with a fast moving cloudy sky indicating a clearing was just ahead of us. We played in the small dog park with Max, Gracie and a new dachshund named Stanley. We eventually did a dark lap in the large dog park and met up with Molly and a 12 week old Boxer named Johnny U.

2010-09-23 Central Dog Park on a Fall Thursday Evening

Posted on September 23, 2010 | 1 comment

This is my first opportunity to take Scraps and Rags to the Central Dog Park now that Fall has arrived. Though the weather still felt nice a summery, the days are getting shorter and the sunlight is getting more precious. While I do love the new Central Dog Park, as I call it, I do see myself taking Scraps and Rags over to Denville as that dog park has lights. Though not as nice as Central Dog Park during the day, at least the Denville Dog Park has lights and remains open all year long until 9:00 p.m. For this reason alone, I would welcome and suggest to all those that haven’t joined the Denville Dog Park to do so, for your dog’s sake. They don’t want to be cooped up all winter anymore than you do, and you won’t be able to bring them to Central Dog Park after work in the winter. Click here to find out more about the Denville Dog Park. It is just up the road from Central Dog Park.

There weren’t any dogs in the small dog park so we went all went right to the large one and met up with Patches who came running over to Scraps but didn’t see to care thereafter; strange? There was this nice family of 4 small dogs we met when we first walked in including a cute white fluffy Pierre. I forget the other 3 dogs names. There was a real cool play session between a little Boston looking terrier and a mutt-a-doodle type of dog. It was just as precious and the waning sunlight.
