First visit to the local dog park


We just got a new dog park in the area, the Middle Island Dog Park. Maggie went to the town clerk to get our hounds legal, and they were all issued a "pooch pass".

With pooch passes in our eager little paws we got to try out the new park this past Tuesday. It was a cold, clear day which kept away all but the hardiest of souls, but we did manage to make friends with a Newfoundland, a couple of German Shepherd mixes, and a couple of smaller dogs.

They split the park into a large/medium sized section and a small dog section. Maggie took our Shih tzu into the smaller dog park and I took the two labs into the other. Of course Sunny, the older lab, spent most of her time by the fence trying to be near Maggie, and Clementine, the Shih
tzu, spent most of her time running along the fence trying to be near me. It was nice meeting the other dog owners and we'll try to get out there on a more regular basis.
