Dog Park People

Ralphie and I go to several dog parks in the area.  We do have our favorite, Enterprise Dog Park located in Clearwater, however it's not the closest one.  We go to a small dog park in my area soon being rebuilt to an awesome-looking park.  We go to the county dog park where very few people go.  Then we recently tried out a 'shaded' dog park that was highly recommended by my neighbor.  Every park has it's own style and it's own regulars.  The regulars are the dogs and owners who frequent that particular park...that would be us at Enterprise Dog Park.

I've realized we dog park people are seemingly a little different from maybe what someone would think is the norm.  It doesn't matter which dog park you're at, we're all the same.  We spend a lot of our time at these parks to keep our dogs happy and to see them have fun.    It never fails we dog park people always ask the owner their dog's name...never or rarely do we ask their name.   Truly we really just care about the dog.  We never ever forget these dogs' names!   We know each dog's ailment or health issue ... yes, we know who is on meds for rashes, mosquito bites, eye problems, ear problems, etc. etc.  We also know the age of all the dogs and how much they weigh...and we REMEMBER this information!  We know all about the dog's naughtiness at home and at the park.  We're all so proud of our much loved pet.  We all stand around admiring our pet and think our dog is the best.  We think our dog is the smartest.  We all think our dog is the 'popular' one at the dog park.  We're all about the dog and that's pretty much it.

YES, YES, YES Ralphie is a handsome, healthy one year old, 56 pound Vizsla who has slight mange again, on his meds, gets a lot of mosquito bites, his ears bug him once in awhile, and he's really smart and loves to show off his tricks at the agility park, some of his best friends are Jake, Rambo, Jessie, Gus, Boomer, and Kong, loves to be chased by all the dogs, he's the leader,  and he's VERY popular!!  LOL
