wish I could just drop the dog off at the dog park, say "behave yourself, don't eat anybody" and run errands for an hour, I mean when he's released...

Posted by zeitgeist Jul 30 '11, 13:03

from the leash he's *gone* (what is that white blur in the distance?) romping from here to there, our park is the biggest in the state, a mile in perimeter or more, lots of acres, you can't see more than 2/3rds of it.

so, until I can entice him in with some snacks or his own water supply, I'm just wandering around by myself. but its too hot and there's little shade. sigh.

what is the point of having a dog park without trees? - Danedukenuuk Jul 30, 13:17 2
- Two areas with trees, a huge meadow in the middle (which sounds like a drum when big dogs dash arcross) and a few large single trees, and a bramble... - zeitgeist Jul 30, 13:22 1
  - well atleast the dogs have a place to mark then - Danedukenuuk Jul 30, 13:32
That's almost excessive for a dog park, isn't it? -- nm - Qale Jul 30, 13:09 13
- Its part of old Fort Steilacoom, it has a half dozen athletic fields, a nice mile round lake, jr college on the other side - zeitgeist Jul 30, 13:16 2
  - That sounds very nice. There are much smaller spaces like that around here, but only recently does it seem like the interest is gaining for more. -- nm - Qale Jul 30, 13:21 1
    - We have dog parks that are really more doggie playlots. -- nm - the liioulu who had a banana malt Jul 30, 13:23

  - The park I posted photos of yesterday was quite big, and off-leash (and waterfront) ... And it's not even the biggest one in town. - Beryllium (iPhone) Jul 30, 13:23
  - I was just telling someone last night how Seattle is weirdly short on trees. - the liioulu who had a banana malt Jul 30, 13:22 7
    - Seattle homes (in town) are on smaller lots and often very sloped front yards so most folks have a shrubbery, or a couple bushy trees and shady ground - zeitgeist Jul 30, 13:31 3

we've been struggling with getting our locals to agree to have a "dog park" ... silly I know ... wheels of change turn slow here :( -- nm - JenBro Jul 30, 13:04 1
- Oh, and that's 'just' the large dog area, the small dog area is about the size of most town's only area, about an acre or so, big dog run is 22 acres -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 30, 13:10
