[Ringo1]

Well, Brit, I sure wish Lucy were having as much fun at the park as Jackson in those videos! (She actually did but only after everyone left and Ringo came in).

Our third try was yesterday - gray, overcast, and not crowded. Maybe 5 dogs were there. Two little kids there too - who wouldn't leave her alone.

When the dogs came over to sniff her, she just cowered down (my poor baby) and she growled a little at one larger dog. I walked to the other end of the park and called her but she just walked the perimeter, wouldn't pay attention to me at all. I felt like the two kids were kind of cornering her ~ so I went and got her and took her to the other end of the park. She did not play with any other dogs and I could tell she was scared.

Finally, everone left and my son came in with Ringo (they had gone for a walk). She was so happy! She danced and pranced and ran all around the park. She does NOT like having her pack split up. She was happy once they got there and everyone else was gone.

I haven't decided about a fourth try. She is so little and she seems so scared; I don't think she enjoys it at all ~ much as I want her to. I admit I was stressed out; I let my son drive (whole nuther story) and I think Ringo definitely needs to stay home. But it's hard to take one and not the other!
