Tug
For the most part, June and Larry take toys away from one another, but they don’t play with them at the same time. The only exception to this rule is the dragon (June’s 2nd dragon, mind you) and I finally got pictures.

Dog Park Etiquette: Ball Thieves
This is one of those points of etiquette I never thought I’d have to write about. I don’t know, it just seemed to be common sense, but it actually came up the other week. And just to be clear, Larry has both been a ball thief and a ball thief …
Faster than Larry
We finally met a dog faster than Larry. We knew one had to exist somewhere, but we’d never actually been presented with the fact. The other night at the dog park, there was a German Shorthaired Pointer who led a merry game of pack chase. She was fast. I mean, …

Playing Rough
After two recent trips to the dog park where there were young German Shepherds playing rough with smaller dogs, I feel like this needs to be said- I don’t care that you are fine with the dogs playing rough. Your dog is 60-70lbs. My dog is 23lbs. The size difference …
Guess the Breed
I love playing guess the breed. It’s a fun pastime at the dog park. And while mixed breeds let you be creative, it’s the rarer pure breds that really have my stretching my dog identification skills. The other night, we followed two of these dogs out of the park: I …
