Trip to the Dog Park

Tonight Mom surprised me with a trip to the dog park. Neither of us had ever been there before.

So we loaded up in the car and headed out.


It wasn't a long ride...but I still had to snooze.


When we got to the dog park, I checked things out through the fence.


That dog park is a really, really big place! Mom said that it's still under construction, too, and we were only in one little part of it.


Mom's friend invited us to join them at the park tonight. Her friend's doggy is named Miko. He's HUUUUGE and he's still only a puppy.


Here's Miko playing with another doggy named Otto.


I somehow managed to get on the wrong side of the gate when Mom went through it. I was stuck.


"Help me...."


Mom finally stopped taking pictures and opened the gate the rest of the way for me to come in. I wasn't too happy with her.


I was a little shy and a little scared because the dog park was such a big place and it was all new to me. There were lots of dogs there, too, and I hadn't met them before. I spent most of the time at the park sitting under Mom's chair.


And I drooled.


I drooled a LOT. Mom's never seen me do that before. Freaked her out a little. I couldn't help it, though...I was scared!


Oh -- I hid under this bench for a while, too, when Mom was sitting on it.


When we got home from the dog park, I hid under my doggie bed for a little bit.


I chewed on a rawhide bone under there, too.


That dog park wore me out.

  3. I don't think I would like the dog park either. I seem outgoing, but only with people. I'm not really a fan of other dogs in person. Or "in dog" I guess it would be.

  5. I bet for a little dog all those dogs running around would be really scary, just like the cats are scared of me because I'm big and jump around a lot. As soon as you make some friends, it will be okay I think.

  7. Awww, Buttons, I feel so bad that you were so scared and even hid under your bed after you got home. I guess the dog park isn't for everyone. I send you a gentle nosetap.

  9. Oh Button, looked like you were so nervous that you drooled! I hope the second trip to the dog park would be a much pleasant one for you. Your dog park is much bigger than my dog park in Dallas.
    Cheers!
