Doggie Park Adventure

Show Off Your Dog
  • So we decided to take Dallas to the dog park today for a fun afternoon of running. The few times we've taken him before there were never any other dogs so we would just throw the ball & run around with him. Today however, there were tons of other little doggy friends, including another basenji named Curly, whom Dallas got along with splendidly! :) Check out the pictures!

    Dallas meeting Curly [the basenji] & a 13 week old German Shepard puppy named Bella

    Starting to play together. These two were like the three musketeers all afternoon!

    Running basenjis! I loved watching them run together! Bella couldn't keep up with them :p

    Catching his breath for a second underneath Daddy's legs.

    But then he & Curly were at it again investigating a new dog who entered the park.

    I had a great day today & LOVED seeing him interact not only perfectly with all the other dogs but with another basenji as well. Plus, I think my boyfriend seeing him play with Curly helped my case to get another one in January ;)

  • Great to see them running and playing together! Very nice pictures!

    I think Dallas will sleep all night ;)

  • Wonderful pictures I'm glad they had a good time

  • Fiji just had her first dog park adventure today. She was great - enjoyed running and playing with all the other dogs.

    Balboa Park has a huge fully-fenced enclosure with a double gated entrance. It was nice to be able to let her off lead and know the area was secure. I was surprised how good she was about running for a while but always coming back to sit by us and touch base for a few minutes between adventures.

    The only dog all afternoon that was a trouble-maker was a little Chi mix, growling and snapping at big, baffled labradoodles and bulldogs. Other than that, my husband said it looked like a dog train with a whole line of pups happily moving along nose to bum to nose to bum.

  • So Cute…I Can't wait for Zaire to be old enough for us to go out to the dogparks....Charlie is starting to get miffed that he is missing his twice a week visit to the park. :) Thank you for the great pics.

    @Kipawa: How nice to see Ayo really having a fun time. Didn't you feel proud of him while he was playing? When I am at the dog park with Kipawa, I have this permanent grin on my face. It's so important for dogs to learn to socialize well with other dogs. And for the times I have been at the dog park with Kipawa, I am finding that the dogs at the park are all pretty balanced. We do see some dogs being walked outside of the fenced area. I can only assume that these dogs are not well socialized, or their owners don't want them to get sand on them, or that they are not 100% healthy. I am so glad it worked out well for the both of you. I bet you will both be there fairly frequently now? And isn't it great when they sleep so soundly afterwards? :) I was so proud, I know what you mean, it's a great feeling like you did something right!.. Yeah, all the dogs were ok, there was one dog that kept crawling under his owner and when the other dogs would go up to him, he would growl, but then someone told her to get up and leave him alone, and the minute she did that he started running around and playing with all the other dogs.. Most of the dogs where about the same size too, except for a big German sheaperd that came in after.. There were some guys with pit bulls or pit bull looking dogs outside that were pretty scary, I later found out that they fight them, which I think is horrible and I am so glad they didnt come in. I would never let my dog or any children or anyone near those dogs.

    Thanks Mark, welcome to the forum. Put your snow shoes on and trek on down to PA.:D Sadly it's not as nice and colorful at Basenji Park this time of year.:( It's a labor of love and I can't wait for the warm weather to return so I can plant more stuff!:eek:
