Early on a Thursday morning, I took the dogs to the park. I had two phone interviews later that morning and wanted to make sure the dogs got their exercise in. I took the dogs down one of the forest paths from the parking lot to the off leash area. …
With Junebug’s newly remembered ability to jump fences, we have necessarily changed our dog park routine. One of the things I’ve done is to encourage the dogs to play on the Beagle Eating HillTM, a hill safely in the middle of the dog park which is covered in blackberry brambles, …

We ran into an old dog park friend at the dog park last night. It had been quite some time since we had seen them (person and dog). Much like our blogging friends, it amazes me how much I care about these dogs I only ever see at the park. …
