2011-04-11 Lewis Morris Dog Park After Work on Monday

Today seemed like the warmest day of the year and it was nice to get Scraps and Rags out to the dog park after work.  With the Central Park dog park still closed for renovations, more on that in a subsequent post, the Dog Park at Lewis Morris was our choice for the day.  While warm, it was cloudy and rain seem to loom on the horizon, but it never materialized.

There were a dozen or so dogs in the large dog park and that’s where we stayed the whole time.  We met a few new dogs and I welcome all them to the dog blog. Some of the dogs I recall the names of include Lucy and Toulouse.  I think I also recall a Pierre and a Candy, the cool looking sleek brown dog, but his collar says Camden.  I’m not sure what his name is now.  Nevertheless, welcome and I look forward to see you all again, hopefully in the Central Park dog park when it reopens in a few weeks.

There was also a very photogenic slobbering small white bull-type of dog with remnants of red hearts painted on him.  He seemed more like a pig than a dog but he took a great picture.

2011-04-03 Lewis Morris Dog Park on a Beautiful Sunday

With the dog park at Central Park still closed for renovations and the fact that Scraps and Rags were the only dogs at Denville Dog park on the previous afternoon, we decided to check out the dog park at Lewis Morris Park. We haven’t been to that dog park for a long time but the weather was really nice and we had to go somewhere.  As they say, it was a dog day afternoon.

We headed to Lewis Morris Park fully intending to hike the trails but we figured we would see what was going on at the dog park first.  To our pleasant surprise, the place was packed.  There was even a handful of dogs in the depressing small dog park. With a handful of small dogs, that little plot of blacktop turned out to be a good time.

We hung in the dog park for a while and then decided to hike around the park.  When we got back to the dog park there were even more dogs around and more were on the way.  Though we only stayed in the small dog park, and there were many more dogs in the large park, we still met several new dogs to the dog park blog; so welcome in the food category Porkchop, Meatball and Tofu.  There was also the small dark grey furry dog named Gracie who we will call GracieGrey. There are a lot of Gracies out there and the name is taken. Finally, there was also Molly a cockerpoo, I believe, so we will refer to her as MollyPoo.  There are lots of Mollies also and that name is also taken.

A nice thing about the small tight dog park from a picture taking perspective  is that there is no shade and no where for the dogs to hide so I get more close-up than usual and a higher density of poses.  There are many good pictures so take a look.

2011-04-02 Denville Dog Park Solo on a Cold Sunday

Scraps and Rags wanted to play outside after missing dog agility class last night, so  we headed to the Denville Dog Park.  The Morris County Dog Park is still closed and under renovation.  It was a real mess following this winter of record snow so the park needs a little rest and recovery.

When we all arrived at the Denville Dog Park there were no dogs in there but the sun was out so it was fun to run and take some photographs.  We also practiced some agility which almost made up for last night’s loss.  Rags and Scraps did some nice “Come” training and with the empty dog park, Scraps was able to chase his tiny balls; and who doesn’t want to do that?

2011-03-26 Denville Dog Park – A Cold Saturday

Scraps and Rags headed to the Denville Dog Park on this cold Saturday afternoon.  Though the sun was out, the wind was strong and snow lingered on the ground from this week’s minor snowfalls.  We couldn’t really chase balls in the small dog park because the grass was too swampy.  Additionally, the snow covered the agility area so we just hung out in the moist gravel of the large dog park.  There were only a handful of dogs but we did meet a new dog to the blog named Colby. He had similar coloring to Scraps and chased a ball over and over again; never tiring, it was pretty cool.  At least the sun was out and dipping in the shy so we got some good lighting and coloring on the photos.  By the way, the Morris County Dog Park at Central Park is still closed for maintenance.
