2010-10-11 Central Dog Park on Columbus Day

Posted on October 11, 2010 | Leave a comment

Columbus Day provided the opportunity for Scraps and Rags to enjoy the dog park during the day. The weather cooperated, as it did all weekend long, and proved to be one of those days that makes you want to spend hours and hours just watching the dogs play. We did that for about 2 hours s such we saw lots of different dogs come and go. Still there are always new dogs we haven’t seen yet showing up at the dog park.

We we arrived and there were about 8-10 cute little dogs in the small dog park so we joined them. A few more showed up thereafter making it one of the more crowded days in the small dog park. We then strolled into the larger dog park to complete our picture taking. Welcoming OllieLong to the blog as well as another long dog, Gertrude. I don’t think I’m going to have to add the “Long” onto Gertrude as I don’t expect another Gertrude to materialize.

2010-10-10 Central Dog Park on a Sunny Sunday Afternoon

Posted on October 10, 2010 | Leave a comment

After Scraps and Rags took a shortened kayak trip on the Split Rock reservoir we all headed to the dog park for a little more activity on solid ground. It was still beautiful outside when we arrived at 3:30, but the sun sets below the tall trees on the western side of the dog park casting a shadow along the entire grassy slope . This makes it difficult to get nice sunny photos, but I found the few spots where the sun leaks through the trees to capture some good photographs. I guess once winter comes the sunny light will shine through the leafless trees. Until then, the photos of the dogs are likely to be darker than desired but we will have the back-drop of colorful autumn leaves to help out.

At the dog park we welcome Jenny, a Jack-mix similar in size to Scraps. They played and sniffed for a bit. I don’t recall anyone new by name to add to the mix so I’ll just give you the link to the photos below.

2010-10-09 – Central Dog Park on a Sunny Afternoon

Posted on October 9, 2010 | Leave a comment

Saturday of this weekend turned out to be as nice as Friday was yesterday. The big difference is we were able to take our time and enjoy several hours in the dog park on a sunny afternoon. Scraps and Rags first hung out with a handful of small dogs in the small dog park before heading over to where the big guys were. There we did a couple of laps and watched many dogs come and go. There were large numbers at the park around 3:00 with many dogs playing and running. It looked like a good time to me for most dogs there.

We met a few new dogs including the Dachshund named Jackson and a Jack Russell named Harley. With so many Harleys in the dog-eat-dog world, we will call this one HarleyJack.

2010-10-08 Central Dog Park into Sunset

Posted on October 8, 2010 | 2 comments

TDIF – Thank Dog It’s Friday – That’s right, it was Friday afternoon at the dog park and Scraps and Rags arrived around 4:30 and stayed until dark, around 6:45. ‘Twas a beautiful day and evening and all the dogs seemed to bring their parents out for some fun the the dog park.

For Scraps and Rags it was a large dog park sandwich on small dog park bread. The large dog park had a lot of activity going on as there were play groups all over the place. Scraps eventually found his buddy Patches and they started their own little x-rated play group. There were so many dogs out in the dog park that it is hard to recall 1/10th of them. Tonight we will welcome Onxy to the group as I hope I got a good shot or two of him tonight. It is tough on those black dogs like Onyx to capture anything but a silhouette without direct sunlight, but we still try. In the small dog park we found very happy looking Jack Russell/Rat Terrier mix that some people were dog sitting named Sonny who looked a lot like Scraps and had his coloring.
