Animal Walk

I’m very excited to say that I found the absolute most amazing dog park. It’s small, a mere 9 acres, compared to some of the others I’ve researched but it has a swimming pool shaped like a dog bone as well as doggy life guards stationed all around the pool (to keep things in check and ensure everyone is playing nicely.) It was one of the most surreal experiences I have ever had – A sort of doggy Disneyland! We had so much fun.

pool

This isn’t the best picture but it does show the pool. Diesel has sort of a Goofy thing going on with that one ear. The old golden retriever standing in the pool was extremely sweet. It’s neat being able to interact with so many different kinds of dogs.

dive

Dasha loved the pool whereas Diesel loved the other dogs. Here’s Dasha “diving.” She didn’t realize the water at that end was only a foot or so deep.

swim

It didn’t take long before she figured it out and made her way over to the deep end. The pool itself is probably 6 or 8 foot in the deep end.

While Dasha sort of swam alone, Diesel was off hanging out with the big boys. He looks so silly in this photo. He looks enamored with that black lab! I can just imagine him being that little brother who always wants to hang out with his teenage brother’s friends. One day my baby boy will be this big. *sniff*

tag

Tag! You’re it! Dasha finally got into things and started to play with the other dogs. She’s shy but once she gets going it’s hard to slow her down.

oops

Wipe out! Diesel takes a tumble on the 2nd turn.

dasha

This dog is a Rhodesian Ridgeback. He really liked Dasha. She didn’t care too much for him. LOL

The park also has about 4 acres of trails that are fenced in meaning that the puppies could play without their leashes. It’s a shame no other dogs were playing here at the time. I’m sure they would have enjoyed running wild through the woods.

me

Yes, I make my children pose. She looks thrilled doesn’t she? It’s a shame the colors didn’t come out better.

runrun

Run! Run! Play! Play!

growl

I think he finally pushed her button! Time to go home and put the kids to bed.

Hope you enjoyed the trip to the park. We plan on going back soon! It’s so much fun!
