2010-12-11 Central Dog Park on Saturday Afternoon

It is a nice sunny warm Saturday afternoon and  it was time to get Scraps and Rags out of the house and to the dog park.  They haven’t been to the dog park for two weeks now and we couldn’t waste this nice weather so we hit up the park for an hour or so.   The ground was hard and frozen so it was a pleasure to walk on but it is a bit depressing to see how all the grass is gone.

There was a nice crowd of dogs out there a a few new ones to the dog park blog.  There was Bella, the 6-month old black Lab-Border Collie mix.  She was very playful and we she welcome her and refer to her a BellaLab. We also had Jack the fluffy white Nordic looking dog.  Oliver the Westie and Bruno the Bulldog pup.

After a good hour in the small dog park with chasing the balls and the dogs we headed into the large dog park.  We saw many more dogs in there and played for a while and then did a lap and headed home.  A nice day at the park with a lot of good photographs.

2010-11-20 Central Dog Park on Saturday Afternoon

On a cool and overcast Saturday afternoon Scraps ad Rags enjoyed the Central Park dog park with a bunch of other friends.  It being Saturday and the fact that it wasn’t raining meant there were lots of dogs to play with at the dog park.  We spent quite a while initially in the small dog park and eventually made our way to the large one.  We did a little jog down the path and then took pictures of the other dogs that were playing.  Although it hasn’t rained a lot recently, the park is getting worn and muddy.  The once grassy meadows are turning slippery and muddy.  The dog park hasn’t really experienced a time of extended rain, so it will be interesting to see ho it will stand up to it.

I did catch several new names of dogs we met and officially now welcome them to this photo blog.  They include Addy and Tootsie, which are both little black dogs. Minnie was the black and white Boston Terrier and she had a brown and white sibling for whom I didn’t catch the name.   Finally there was Princess the wired-haired Jack Russell get abused in the large dog park.  Welcome one and all.

2010-11-14 Central Dog Park on Sunday Afternoon

It’s football Sunday afternoon with the Jets at 1:00 and the Giants at 4:00 so the dogs came to the dog park in spurts trying to fit their fun in between the games.  Scraps and Rags, being the Giant fans that they are, didn’t mind missing the Jet 1:00 game so they hung out for a few hours at the park between 12:30 and 3:00.

First we all checked out the small dog park which was bristling with action.  Scraps was enjoying his new rubber Chuck-it balls. The small dog park started out with a lot of dogs and then the pack thinned out.  We all headed to the big dog park next and hung out there for a while.  We completed the day back in the small dog park which only had a few dogs to begin with and then they came flooding in.

There were many dogs at the park on this beautiful fall day.  We met a lot of new ones which I am going to welcome to the blog in mass since there were so many.  Welcomed to the dog park blog are new dogs Penny, Maddie, Hooter, Bagel, Dradle, Figgy and Paco.  The sun was partially out so I took advantage of the sunlight when I could capture it.  There are lots of good photos so check them out.

2010-08-27 – Morris County Central Park Dog Park after Morristown Critical Mass Bike Ride

This being the last Friday of the month meant Scraps and Rags go on their monthly Morristown Critical Mass Bike Ride promoting better bicycle access and safety for our community.  Scraps and Rags love being on the bicycle. It being a beautiful Friday evening allowed us the opportunity to stray from the bike ride and head to the Central Park dog park instead.  It was a great concept biking from Morristown to Parsippany, where the dog park is actually located, and getting a full night of fun with the dog on the the bikes.

When we got to the dog park it was surprisingly empty for a really nice Friday night.  Nevertheless, Rags had a good run-in with Gracie Red Shoes.  We then did a real nice lap along the path, which is a great feature of the park.  We met and walked with Marlie a Golden along the way.

As the dog park keeps developing I saw for the first time posted rules and signs so that was good, it was a bit of a free for all for a while and I worry a dogs is going to get killed in the parking lot.
