2011-05-14 Dogs Gone Wild Fundraiser for Denville Dog Park and Animal Shelter

Posted on May 14, 2011 | 5 comments

Dogs Gone Wild fundraiser for the Denville dog park and animal shelter was billed as an off leash swimming and playing for event your dogs enjoyment, picnic area for your enjoyment. The fee for the event was $10 for dog park members $20 for non members all money goes to support the denville dog park and animal shelter.

Previous years’ Dogs Gone Wild have helped create and build the Happy Hound Playground (Denville Dog Park) as well as help pay for the new Gazebo, benches, picnic tables and the new dog pool that will be installed this spring at the dog park. Contributions have also helped pay for medical expenses for animals that are in need at the Denville Animal shelter.

This was the first time Scraps and Rags ever made it to this event and from the talk we heard, the turnout was better than ever. It was cloudy with no sun but it wasn’t cold and it never rained. While no people went in the water above their knees, many a dog took the opportunity to play in the water and have some wet fun. It was tough to recognize many of the dogs that were we because they just don’t look the same.

There was a high density of dogs in and around the water giving me up close access to a lot of action. The only thing missing was the sun. Nevertheless, the happiness of the dogs playing in the water with so many of their friends in and around them more than made up for the lack of sunlight and resulted in many good pictures.

I hope the event made some good money for Denville and Scraps and Rags look forward to coming to many more of these Dogs Gone Wild events at Cook’s Pond. You can also help support the dog park buy purchasing photographs of the dogs I took during the day.

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

Posted on March 26, 2011 | Leave a comment

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.

2011-03-20 Denville Dog Park Sunny Crowded Sunday

Posted on March 20, 2011 | 1 comment

Compared to last Sunday at the Denville Dog Park, this last day of winter proved to be a beautiful day to be with your dogs at the dog park. Though temperatures were only in the 50’s, the sun was out and there was no wind, so it was comfortable. We stayed from around 3:00 to 4:30.

Scraps and Rags saw many of the Denville Dog Park faithful that they haven’t seen in a long while. With the Morris County Dog Park still closed for renovations, the Denville Dog Park again provided a great outlet for Scraps and Rags. With the nice crowd of dogs that were at the dog park, the Denville Dog Park experienced showed why it is one not to be taken for granted. I am very happy we decided to maintain our membership at the Denville Dog Park.

A couple of new dogs to the dog park blog include Rosie, and rambunctious 9-month old puppy and her brother Masie. I assume I spelled Maisie’s name wrong but we welcome the two of them nevertheless. The sun was out and getting low in the sky and there were lots of dogs playing. I was able to capture a lot of nice photographs, so check them out.

2010-09-10 Bark Hoppin’ After Dark

Posted on September 10, 2010 | 1 comment

As summer comes to and end, getting to the dog park after work before dark becomes a challenge. On this Friday night Scraps and Rags got to Central Dog Park at 7:00 and while it wasn’t nighttime, it was getting dark. I guess I have to learn to use a flash or get a new lens. We stayed at the Central Dog Park for a half our. Rags had a good play and run with both small Molly Gold and Scraps. Scraps and Rags had a pretty good chase going on, rare for the two of them and we saw a couple of Beagles we had never seen before.

Since it got dark early we took advantage of the Denville Dog Park with the warm glow of their amber lights. No enough light for photography but enough light where the dog park is open until 9:00. We stayed there for 45 minutes or so and left with Goji on our way out to pick up some Carmel Haiffa Diner, Route 202 in Morris Plains. It’s nice to have the option of the Denville Dog Park with their lights as the days get shorter.
