So what to do on a beautiful muddy day in early March with a pup who wants to play? Go to the bark park of course. We're lucky to have such a place a few miles down the road.
Eagle Creek Bark Park
Today was Envy's first visit and she loved it. At first, she was a bit nervous and overwhelmed. There were other dogs there and they all came over to see her, smell her, and get nosy. After a few minutes, she settled right in and we let her off the leash to run. And run she did.
There's a nice big open space with benches around. There's one area to do some agility work on, but the rest is a dog's dream - big open field and lots of other dogs and smells.
We learned a thing or two as well. Bring water because a playing dog is a thirsty dog. Leave the cookies at home. My eight year old daughter was VERY popular as she wandered around with cookies in her pocket. Lots of nosy dogs checking out her pockets and one elderly female dog who decided that Audrey was her best friend. Of course, she loved that - the little dog whisperer she is.
We met some new friends and lots of beautiful dogs - the labs, the husky, collies, the doberman, the little white mix puppy with bright blue eyes, her brother the bully mix who was the nicest dog in the park. Lots of fun.
Came home to nap time. All in all a good day for the Wonder Pup.
Someday, I hope we can take Obie with us to the Bark Park. Someday, maybe he won't be dog aggressive. He's a work in progress. Aren't we all?
