I am sorry that I have not written in a long time. I have actually been to the park many times but have not written. Mostly it is because I did not have much to say. It has been very cold and my person would not take photos and the walk was more about exercise than fun. Not that that is a bad thing because you still get to go. You gotta sort of hurry up to stay warm and you gotta do the short loops so My Person can get to the people mobile quickly if she is freezing.
I do have one very bad thing to report about the dog park. Now, I try really hard to stay out of controversy but I have to talk about this. My person saw cute little Haily's person out and about the other night. I am not sure what breed of dog Haily is but she is tiny and has longish fur. Maybe a Maltese mix of some kind. Anyway, Haily's person always gives me a treat. Not just little kibble treats either. She has full sized treats that my person only gives me when I get home from my walk. Mimi, Jessie and I all get 1 only but Haily's person gives them out at the park.
I should warn you that this is a bad story. Haily's person told my person that when they were at the park the other day Haily barked at a man. The man did not have a dog with him. Haily barked a lot at the guy. That Stranger Person, with no dog, kicked that little tiny dog. My Person was so upset when she got home and shared this story. Haily's person said that Haily is OK but they are both really mad. Haily's person called the Stranger Person a "coward" and he said bad things to her. I am so glad that Haily is OK.
Now, I know there is a leash law where we live. The Dog Park is the only place where dogs walk off leash! Peeps without dogs can walk at like a zillion other places!!!! I would like for all peeps and dogs to get along together without any problems. I really do but sometimes there are problems! I mean look at me with all of my behavior problems lately. My person has new rules by the way but I will get to that. Anyway, I don't think that man should have kicked that little girl. Would he have tried to kick me. NO WAY! Go walk somewhere else big kicking meany!!!!
(The Dog Beach in Winter)OK, now back to me. I have still been trying to teach my person what I need for her to know. So that I do not start any trouble with others she has new rules. I have to be a lead in all areas of the park where she can not see very far ahead of us. When we get to the fields she can see far and I get to run. I go back on lead to greet other dogs and when My Person can't see far. Well, it is a bit of a pain for me but I do get some cheese when she makes me sit and stay.
It was so nice at the park today. It was not very cold and my person let us do the whole big loop. Mimi and I played a little Ring Around the Smelly Thing and ran around trying to dig up sticks. All in all it was really fun. I tried to be the boss of a 9 month old puppy but my person had me on lead. The pup's person seemed really nice. I wish My Person would figure me out
