2010-10-24 Central Dog Park on a Sunny Sunday Afternoon

Posted on October 24, 2010 | Leave a comment

It was a busy dog Sunday for Rags, and too a lesser extent Scraps, which culminated in a great day at Morris County’s dog park located at Central Park. It is really beautiful hanging out in Morris County right now as the weather is just right and the leaves are in full color all over.

We started the day at agility class with Rags over at St. Huberts in Chatham. The practice field there was in full living color and a delight to go to. Rags is beginning to learn how to work an agility course. Right from dog class we stopped by Morristown where a parade of dogs in Halloween costumes was just getting underway. This was a really nice dog event and I took lots of nice pictures of the dogs in costume, so check them out here. From the parade we decided to go to the dog park with Scraps and Rags.

Central Park was bustling with some type of racing event at the park-side and the dog park was loaded with dogs. What a great new park! We arrived around 1:00 and the sunlight was good for photographs. We ventured into the small dog park for quite a while as there was a lot of activity there. Many white dogs. We saw Ringo! Lucky was a cute new brown dog (Dachshund Chihuahua mix) with long pointy ears. Sebastian of course was there stirring up the pot and when Lewis and Clark arrived, it was just that much more doggy bedlam. Too bad Scraps and Rags did partake in much of it. Doesn’t matter, Rags was pooped from the previous activities and resting in the comfortable park was relaxing. It gave me an opportunity to get pictures of the other dogs.

We then hung in the large park for a while. There was also a lot of activity over there. We did a lap, enjoyed the foliage, took lots of pictures and then headed home. I ran out of battery power on the camera, so there was no use hanging out in the dog park any more.

2010-10-23 – Central Dog Park in the Late Morning

Posted on October 23, 2010 | 1 comment

After a quick morning kayak paddle on the Passaic River, I met Scraps and Rags at the dog park. I arrived an 11:05 and started snapping photos and Scraps and Rags arrived about 10 minutes after. We only had about 45 minutes to stay before we had to leave, but it was a good photo session.

There were a fair amount of dog in the large dog park, the small dog park was empty. The nice thing was that between 11:00 and 12:00 the sun was pointing to the west and the expansive rolling hills of the dog park with its peaking autumnal leaves serving as a back-drop. This gave me my best opportunity in weeks to catch some dogs in a good light and todays’ photos are some of the best I have captured in a little while, so check them out.

2010-10-22 Central Dog Park – TGIF at Dusk

Posted on October 22, 2010 | Leave a comment

TGIF – Scraps and Rags arrived at the dog park after a long hard week of dog work, so they were psyched it was Friday and that they were at the dog park. When we arrived we saw there was only one lonely dog in the small dog park, so we spent the entire time in the large dog park. There were must have been 20-30 dogs in the large dog park so there was a good crowd in there.

We saw Lily, the brown and white Poodle, who we used to often see at the Denville dog park. Lily eventually found some dogs to play with, so that was good to see. We hung with the group of 4 hot dogs hanging around trying their best to cause and not to cause chaos. Eventually, Forrest the the brown-eyed while Jack Russell, showed up and he got Rags going where they were chasing each other for a little while. When Patches and MiloLong showed up, Forrest gravitated to Patches filling the void Scraps would have liked to fill. On this day Scraps was just a bystander. Good thing, because as Patches and Forrest were going at it two larger more intimidating dogs were surrounding the two of them and barking like mad. That would have made me nervous. Patches says, “Bring it on.”

While it wasn’t cloudy outside, the winds blew steadily and it felt cold. Scraps and Rags only hung out for 45 minutes before we left to eat dinner. In that short time we got a few photos, so check them out.

2010-10-19 Central Dog Park at Dusk

When Scraps and Rags arrived at the dog park at 5:00 p.m. the sun had already set behind the western trees, sapping me of all the precious light I want for my dog photographs. Nevertheless, with the clouds from earlier in the day fading out over the eastern skies, we were able to see the smidge from a full moon hover peacefully above the colorful autumn trees. This all provided a beautiful landscape for all the dogs to play around in. With all of this splendid nature all around us, we must not forget how fortunate we are that this dog park is now here for us to enjoy and how gorgeous fall is in this neck of the woods.

First in the small dog park, we saw another handful of white dogs who are all realted to each other. Each one a little different than the other. I also officially met Tassie, a fluffy Pomeranian, who we will now welcome to the blog. She reminds me of my cousin Stacy’s Pomeranian, Harry Winston.

Later on n the large dog park we were able to check out the big guys. It was pretty much the usual crew as far as I could tell. Rags had a nice little run-in and around with the brown and white Jack Russell who was wearing a Yankee collar. No wonder they chased each other round in circles. Actually, the Jack ran in circles and Rags tends to cut her circles off as she barrels into the one she is chasing. I think I got some of that on video if and when I get around to posting it. Speaking of which, go back and check older postings both to relive the old moments and see if I posted any dangling video I took from the days. My video posting lags behind everything else.

It is a dog eat dog world out there.
