2010-09-01 – Bark-Hopping ‘Round Town

Scraps and Rags haven’t been to the Denville dog park in quite some time so we wanted to head over there and say hello to some of their buddies.  This time around, there were lots of our old buddies running about.  The sun was setting but the dogs were playing in its glow and I was able to get some good photos from the warmly lit Denville dog park.

Does anyone know this dog's name?

It was nice that I was able to practice a little agility jumping with Rags as she is going to be running in her first pseudo-official agility run (jumpers only) this Saturday.  Scraps will also be running but this is routine practice for him at this point.  As usual, Rags was totally annoying and unsocial to Fargoe, I feel terrible about that relationship.  Good thing Fargoe is so even tempered cause he would and should have eaten Rags for dinner.  I don’t want to fail to mention that Charlie had an on-going humpfest with MollyGold’s leg.  Nothing was enough for Charlie tonight.

After Denville we moseyed on down to the Central Park dog park to play with a few little dogs on the way home.  There we saw Yoshi and Phoebe as well as Spike who is now officially named and recognized on the blog, so welcome Spike. Actually you can see him on yesterday’s posting featured prominently in the video.  Unfortunately, I don’t have any photos or videos to show from our time at the Morris County dog park.

2010-08-31 – Morris County Central Dog Park – Biked Over Before Sunset

Though it was before sunset, the more than ample shade in the small dog park means there is rarely enough light for me to capture some good action shots. When we biked over to the dog park with Scraps and Rags we found TopDog was there with his 3 little frankfurters walking to large dog park loop. We also saw Chester and Bailey from Denville dog park in the small dog park. There wasn’t a lot of playing but it was a nice night to spend time with your dogs in the dog park with the companionship of another canine pal or two. Rags was a little tired from spending the afternoon on the kayak with me paddling the Pasaaic River. Before too long we biked on back home in the darkening twilight.

2010-08-29 Dinner With Your Dogs

This was our first Dinner With Your Dogs event with Scraps and Rags and as a fund raiser for the great new dog park which we enjoy so much, it was worth every penny and we appreciate everyone’s efforts in putting it together.  It was such a nice night it was once again a total pleasure for the 3rd day in a row biking over to the dog park with the two dogs

With food provided by Hot Rods B-B-Q in Wharton, I was wondering how the dogs would behave with so much meat around.  They were all required to remain on leash in the eating area so it all worked out great.  I’m even surprised how well Rags behaved.  It was good that it was hot outside and she was a little pooped.

With the good BBQ food came a few short words by Denise Lanza who is like Morris County’s own Leslie Knope, for you Parks and Recreation fans.  She has been instrumental in getting the dog park implemented as well as Frank Alai who also spoke a few words.  Frank also provided the cold 1/2 keg of Bud which on a hot day with pulled pork went down mighty nice.  While I a lot of pictures of dogs currently known as ?-Dog, I didn’t ask about many names so I only have two new dogs to add to the blog’s tag list who is Daisey, the Bassett Hound.  Secondly, there was a dog named Larry which freaked me out when his mother kept saying over my shoulder, “Larry, you’re such a good boy, you are the best.”  I mean I often hear that but it is usually from some one I know.  Let’s welcome Daisey, Larry, and all the ?-Dogs to the MorrisCountyDogPark.com blog and give  a hearty cheers to the new dog park.

Come and Get It!

2010-08-28 – Saturday in Dog Park

It was a gorgeous Saturday in late August so we decided to bike ride with Scraps and Rags over to the Central Dog Park after breakfast and then head to the Morris Plains farmers market thereafter.  It was a great plan and well executed.  When we got to the dog park we saw a few of our friends from the Denville Dog Park including the poodles, Lily, Ollie and Grace.  Phoebe was also there for a little while.

There were 5 or 6 small dogs that we hung out with including Henry and Hamlet.  We also saw Ringo for the first time at the dog park.  It was nice that we were able to enjoy the tent and chairs staged for tomorrows Dinner With Your Dogs fund raiser.  We all look forward to that event as the weather is looking to be mighty fine for that one.
