2010-10-10 Central Dog Park on a Sunny Sunday Afternoon

After Scraps and Rags took a shortened kayak trip on the Split Rock reservoir we all headed to the dog park for a little more activity on solid ground.  It was still beautiful outside when we arrived at 3:30, but the sun sets below the tall trees on the western side of the dog park casting a shadow along the entire grassy slope .  This makes it difficult to get nice sunny photos, but I found the few spots where the sun leaks through the trees to capture some good photographs.  I guess once winter comes the sunny light will shine through the leafless trees.  Until then, the photos of the dogs are likely to be darker than desired but we will have the back-drop of colorful autumn leaves to help out.

At the dog park we welcome Jenny, a Jack-mix similar in size to Scraps.  They played and sniffed for a bit.  I don’t recall anyone new by name to add to the mix so I’ll just give you the link to the photos below.

2010-10-08 Central Dog Park into Sunset

TDIF – Thank Dog It’s Friday – That’s right, it was Friday afternoon at the dog park and Scraps and Rags arrived around 4:30 and stayed until dark, around 6:45.  ‘Twas a beautiful day and evening and all the dogs seemed to bring their parents out for some fun the the dog park.

For Scraps and Rags it was a large dog park sandwich on small dog park bread. The large dog park had a lot of activity going on as there were play groups all over the place.  Scraps eventually found his buddy Patches and they started their own little x-rated play group.  There were so many dogs out in the dog park  that it is hard to recall 1/10th of them.  Tonight we will welcome Onxy to the group as I hope I got a good shot or two of him tonight.  It is tough on those black dogs like Onyx to capture anything but a silhouette without direct sunlight, but we still try.  In the small dog park we found very happy looking Jack Russell/Rat Terrier mix that some people were dog sitting named Sonny who looked a lot like Scraps and had his coloring.

2010-09-28 Central Dog Park After Sunset

After a few days of rain, the sky cleared up enough just before the 7:00 p.m. darkness to let Scraps and Rags out to enjoy the dog park.  It was nice outside with a fast moving cloudy sky indicating a clearing was just ahead of us.  We played in the small dog park with Max, Gracie and a new dachshund named Stanley.  We eventually did a dark lap in the large dog park and met up with Molly and a 12 week old Boxer named Johnny U.

2010-09-11 Central Dog Park – Double Dose Saturday

It really was a beautiful Saturday so while we played at the dog park a little in the morning, the magnificence of the day was beckoning us back to the canines.  We were planning on going to the Denville dog park for the pre-dinner session but while passing the Central Dog Park we could resist pulling in when we saw such a nice large crowd.

In the small dog park was GracieWhite Spike. a couple of puppies, a little puppie who was freaked by the camera and four Dachshunds of various sizes.  We saw Gretsch  while in the small dog park and eventually wandered into the big dog park to hang out with the bigger guys.  While in the morning we had hounds and shepherds, the evening session seemed to have a lot of pit bulls.  The were all very friendly and we had another fun dog park experience. We also me Tara later on a fast little mutt a bit bigger than Scraps but with similar markings.
