Westpark Dog Park Tampa


  • I dont know how many of you Tampa people read this forum. Thanks for a great day at the park.

    Today was Cairo's big day to meet the pack. He was very reserved and was almost eaten by a rescue greyhound that likes to eat running fast puppies that scream! LOL

    We survived that, and was it worth it! Cairo and Caesar played for about 4 hours with their basenji buddies…..

    Jack
    Bella
    Frankie
    And the cute little girl who I still have a hard time remembering, runs like the wind! :)

    Cairo has is rabies tag and is 14weeks old this week. He is a little guy of 11 lbs and loves to be cuddled. I am guessing he will be more playful and outgoing next week once he sees familiar faces!!

    All the female basenjis were super sweet to him. Oh, and the boy basenjis were all cool, but he is to young to join in the crazy runs through the park.....Cairo would sit at my feet watching them run like crazies!!

    Thanks again everyone!!

  • I'm going to be down to your area in June - w/out dogs though :( What day of the week is it 'basenji' day at the dog park - maybe it's when I'm there.


  • Awww where's the pics


  • we go every Sunday at 11ish…..

    Of course, I was the crazy mom who was so excited about the park that I was there at 10 and didnt leave until 2!!


  • Donald, the head of the MacPac takes fantastic pictures. Here is one he took of Cairo at the park….

  • Great picture…he is just beautiful. Sounds like a wonderful day...


  • Basenji owners and this breed are unlike any group I have met before. We have several owners that have had basenjis in thier lives for over 20years. They are great! They have so much experience not only with illnesses, death and birth, but behavioral advice as well.


  • Ok, so I guess talking about park fun without pictures is really not fair….

    I dont have this weeks park pics....but here is part of the basenji gang....

    Beta(passed in Jan) and Caesar - my kids

  • These are wonderful action photos! So glad you're sharing them. Would be nice to take my kids to a park like this. I'm going to have to do some investigation in my part of the world.

    Anyone interested & available to meet this weekend? Weather looks best tomorrow (Fri) or Sat. Also looking like the weather will be good next Fri & Sat. I'm willing to meet at any of the parks we have been considering on this thread (West Chester, Phoenixville or Oaks) Also, if you're interested, Wagsworth does a FREE Saturday stay & play (which just means you stay with your dog while they play - rather than dropping off for day care). Chase had an unexpected "sleepover" there Monday night - brought him there to play just for the afternoon & then couldn't get back because the roads were so bad from that unexpected storm. We missed him, but he LOVES it there - a treat for him & a little break from him for our sweet little (neurotic) border collie! Cindy

    @jys1011: I don't know what it means…but YAY HOORAY!! :D I can't wait to go & see a Basenji show. Supposedly my C3 is Ch & has been to shows before but I would NEVER believe this myself since he is SO hyper around other dogs. I don't know how he would ever make it into a ring without disrupting the whole event!! :D The wife did tell me there is a Show in New Jersey they will go to next year(Trenton area)…...when it gets closer I'll let you know. The more I think I'm learning about the Dog show scene, the more confused I get.......maybe that's why the wife leaves me home.[image: eusa_think.gif]
