Lucy's first time at the dog park! Took Lucy to the dog park today; her very first time ever. There were some dogs in the 'small dog' park that I really did not consider to be small; however, everyone seemed very friendly.
When I held her ~ she was shaking a little and nervous.
I kind of walked away from everyone and put her down. She explored a little and got petted by a lot of people. She loved the attention.
She did not make any doggie friends though! She made no effort to approach another dog or join in play. If one wanted to sniff her but - she let them. That was it.
I tried walking her over to where I could see a couple of doxies and papillions (?) but she steered clear of the actual dogs.
My son came over to the outside of the fence with Ringo (he didn't get to come in) and after that, she just kept running over to where Ringo was. She wanted him and that's it.
I'm going to try again - just us. It was very crowded today.
There's another one in town that has 3 areas - small, medium, and large. We'll try that one evening.
And I should have brought a toy to throw!
