Another day at the dog park, yippee!

Sis and I and Rocket went to the d.p. again yesterday. Why, WHY do people bring their aggressive lame-oid dogs to the d.p.? If your dog needs socialization skills, take it to a trainer first, THEN come to the d.p. when it’s over whatever issues it has OR put it on the necessary meds. You know, the ones that DON’T make it want to run full speed at other dogs which can hurt them. There was a Boston terrier there that did this. I was standing next to Rocket and another lady who had a 4 month old Boston terrier. Another lady with a full grown Boston T. came in. Her dog, big and heavier than our two, kept running at Rock and the puppy. Its owner just stood there looking (sorry but it’s true) dazed and confused. Finally I addressed the dog which made the owner wake up and leash her dog. I’ve seen this before, both with Rock and other people’s dogs. The owner of the offending dog just stands there watching their dog act aggressively, sometimes attacking, another dog without even calling off their dog. I’ve seen some dog owners laugh at this. This is not cool people. If your dog is aggressive, take it out of the d.p. and do not get an attitude if the owner of the dog your dog is trying to eat uses whatever means necessary to get your dog to stop its behavior if you’re not going to do anything about it. Okay, now that I’m done venting, let’s look at some cute picks. Btw the lady who owned the Boston was very nice about me telling her dog to stop.

Sis, on the right, and I sitting at a picnic table at the dog park. Can you imagine trying to have a picnic with 10-15 little dogs all begging for scraps?

Soon, everything will be in bloom. I can hardly wait, although, the starkness of the trees against the blue winter sky is quite lovely.
