 Be careful what you wish for!
Dog parks are a great idea! But unfortunately they can be trouble also. One would think "responsible" dog owners would clean up after their dogs, especially since most parks have ample waste disposal tools. Not so! I've been to a half dozen or so parks and I always find the same issue; DOG POOP EVERYWHERE!
I've observed dogs with open sores, bleeding butts, and "who knows what" types of skin maladies! Yikes! Since my little Zena usually igonores all the dogs anyway, we've stop taking her to dog parks, opting for regular dog friendly parks instead. Dog parks can be a hotbed of filth and disease and IMHO it is not worth the risk to our little Zena. My nickel's worth. |
