My Day at the Dog Park

Well, my day at the dog park was interesting. I, too, was unprepared for the crunch to write a good, compelling story by 5 p.m.! I learned you can not take notes, hold a tape recorder and tour a facility with barking dogs in one swell swoop. If I was a guy I would’ve had a shirt pocket for my tape recorder, but what’s a women to do?

I met dogs, lots of dogs. Big dogs, little dogs, cute dogs and big, 120 pound ugly dogs (the Rottweiler).

It was not a kennel, or animal hospital, it’s was a doggy daycare center. Imagine that. The dogs in regular daycare don’t participate in the Saturday Indoor Dog Park activities because 12 p.m. to 3 p.m. is their nap time. They come in the morning, play with their doggy friends, then eat before they are put down for their nap. Afterwards they get ready for afternoon activities. We’re still talking about dogs! It was fun. I learned a lot and may have become somewhat of a dog lover. Some, I’m sure are treated better then, say, us poor college students. Oh, it cost dog owners $33.00 a day for regular dog daycare.
