2011-02-06 Central Dog Park in the Snow

Posted on February 6, 2011 | Leave a comment

The hair style being sported by Rory is precious!

Super Bowl Sunday at the dog park brought some of the nicest weather of the winter as the temperatures approached the 40s in strong sunlight.  It was warm enough to soften the icy crust on the snow making a nice comfortable environment for the Scraps and Rags.

We all arrived around 11:45 and stayed for an hour and a half.  The snow didn’t seem to bother the dog’s feet too much.  Maybe the musher’s wax we used on their paws helped.  We bought that years ago and haven’t tried it much, but figured we would give it a go today.

We spent about an hour in the small dog park as we watched Rory and Sebastian do what they do. Gracie White also found someone to play with and Scraps chased balls while Rags took it all in, rarely getting involved in a running scuffle. We did meet the cute little Enzo in the small dog park who  enjoyed playing with Rory and looked like a lot of fun.

After the small dog park thinned out we went into the large  dog park.  The must have been 20 dog in there.  In there I met Karachi, a big tan sleek dog by catching his name on his tag in a photo.  We welcome Enzo and Karachi to the dog park blog.

The sun was out for the most part and it gave me a great opportunity to photograph the dogs.  There were “snow” many good pictures, so check them out.

2010-12-11 Central Dog Park on Saturday Afternoon

Posted on December 11, 2010 | Leave a comment

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.

2010-11-28 Central Dog Park on Sunday Afternoon

Posted on November 28, 2010 | Leave a comment

Sunday was by far the nicest day of the Thanksgiving holiday weekend.  Though cold, the strong sun combined with no winds made it a very nice day at Morris County’s dog park. There were a lot of dogs enjoying the opportunity to get out and enjoy the sunshine.  Scraps and Rags arrived around 11:00 to find no small dogs in the small dog park. The big dog park was quite active so we went into it only to find all the small dogs were in the big park.  It was good to see Sebastian survived and thrived.  Finally, you have to check out the variety of outfits worn by the dogs.

Most of the dogs were back at the far side of the park as the area where most people congregate has turned muddy and slippery.  This situation is only going to get worse because we still have not had a lot of rain or a snow melt since the dog park has opened; and a lot of the grass is gone.  Mudfests await us all in our dog park future, so I suggest everyone get a good set of boots for when it comes.

Scraps ad Rags eventually meandered into the small dog park around 12:30 as a nice crowd assembled in there.  We met a cool new dog named Wilson, a recent rescue with the wild eyes.  It was his first time to the dog park so we welcome him to both the park and the blog.  We also had Penny the MiniPin who is new to the blog so welcome to her.

The sunlight was good and I was able to capture some good action in the photographs.  With all the dogs, the good lighting and the 2.5 hours we spent at the dog park I took the most photos I have taken so far at the dog park, so check them out.

2010-11-20 Central Dog Park on Saturday Afternoon

Posted on November 20, 2010 | 1 comment

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.
