2011-04-03 Lewis Morris Dog Park on a Beautiful Sunday

Posted on April 4, 2011 | 1 comment

With the dog park at Central Park still closed for renovations and the fact that Scraps and Rags were the only dogs at Denville Dog park on the previous afternoon, we decided to check out the dog park at Lewis Morris Park. We haven’t been to that dog park for a long time but the weather was really nice and we had to go somewhere.  As they say, it was a dog day afternoon.

We headed to Lewis Morris Park fully intending to hike the trails but we figured we would see what was going on at the dog park first.  To our pleasant surprise, the place was packed.  There was even a handful of dogs in the depressing small dog park. With a handful of small dogs, that little plot of blacktop turned out to be a good time.

We hung in the dog park for a while and then decided to hike around the park.  When we got back to the dog park there were even more dogs around and more were on the way.  Though we only stayed in the small dog park, and there were many more dogs in the large park, we still met several new dogs to the dog park blog; so welcome in the food category Porkchop, Meatball and Tofu.  There was also the small dark grey furry dog named Gracie who we will call GracieGrey. There are a lot of Gracies out there and the name is taken. Finally, there was also Molly a cockerpoo, I believe, so we will refer to her as MollyPoo.  There are lots of Mollies also and that name is also taken.

A nice thing about the small tight dog park from a picture taking perspective  is that there is no shade and no where for the dogs to hide so I get more close-up than usual and a higher density of poses.  There are many good pictures so take a look.

2011-04-02 Denville Dog Park Solo on a Cold Sunday

Posted on April 2, 2011 | 1 comment

Scraps and Rags wanted to play outside after missing dog agility class last night, so  we headed to the Denville Dog Park.  The Morris County Dog Park is still closed and under renovation.  It was a real mess following this winter of record snow so the park needs a little rest and recovery.

When we all arrived at the Denville Dog Park there were no dogs in there but the sun was out so it was fun to run and take some photographs.  We also practiced some agility which almost made up for last night’s loss.  Rags and Scraps did some nice “Come” training and with the empty dog park, Scraps was able to chase his tiny balls; and who doesn’t want to do that?

2011-03-26 Denville Dog Park – A Cold Saturday

Posted on March 26, 2011 | Leave a comment

Scraps and Rags headed to the Denville Dog Park on this cold Saturday afternoon.  Though the sun was out, the wind was strong and snow lingered on the ground from this week’s minor snowfalls.  We couldn’t really chase balls in the small dog park because the grass was too swampy.  Additionally, the snow covered the agility area so we just hung out in the moist gravel of the large dog park.  There were only a handful of dogs but we did meet a new dog to the blog named Colby. He had similar coloring to Scraps and chased a ball over and over again; never tiring, it was pretty cool.  At least the sun was out and dipping in the shy so we got some good lighting and coloring on the photos.  By the way, the Morris County Dog Park at Central Park is still closed for maintenance.

2011-03-20 Denville Dog Park Sunny Crowded Sunday

Posted on March 20, 2011 | 1 comment

Compared to last Sunday at the Denville Dog Park, this last day of winter proved to be a beautiful day to be with your dogs at the dog park.  Though temperatures were only in the 50’s, the sun was out and there was no wind, so it was comfortable.  We stayed from around 3:00 to 4:30.

Scraps and Rags saw many of the Denville Dog Park faithful that they haven’t seen in a long while.  With the Morris County Dog Park still closed for renovations, the Denville Dog Park again provided a great outlet for Scraps and Rags.   With the nice crowd of dogs that were at the dog park, the Denville Dog Park experienced showed why it is one not to be taken for granted.  I am very happy we decided to maintain our membership at the Denville Dog Park.

A couple of new dogs to the dog park blog include Rosie, and rambunctious 9-month old puppy and her brother Masie.   I assume I spelled Maisie’s name wrong but we welcome the two of them nevertheless.  The sun was out and getting low in the sky and there were lots of dogs playing.  I was able to capture a lot of nice photographs, so check them out.
