| How tragic for that little Shih-Tzu, and I can't imagine what that dad felt when he saw his only child in that big dogs mouth. Just thinking of anything like that happening to any of mine just makes me almost sick. I've never taken mine to any dog park, and have no plans to ever take them. We have doggie play-dates each month, and they have walks, and other outings, which is safe. When you frequent dog parks, make sure you take a fecal sample to your Vet. about every six months.

| Now im nervous about taking Paris to the dog park, i cant explain what havoc i would reek if some elses pet hurts mine. My best bet is to keep her close to home. Its the only way i will feel comfortable and keep her safe.

| What a tragedy. I thought dog parks was a great idea when I first read about them years ago. Discussing this with my vet, at the time, he thought they were not such a good idea. Not all dog owners at the same of course. Some don't get the needed shots, other's don't care what their dog does. He discouraged me from going. Two neighbor's, one with small s**t-zu the other, don't know her but see her walking like she owns the place has a pit bull. The pit attacked the poor s**t-zu and took it's eye out right in front of them. The pit owner apoligized and left! Refused to pay medical expenses as well. She also moved soon after. If you have a nice one, know the people who go there I still think it a nice idea to let your dog be free but if you don't know the owner's I would not go. To many things can happen to small dogs. |

| Yea, I don't think Lucy will ever get to experience the dog park. I am too afraid of something like this happening I feel so bad for the family. They are in my thoughts and heart! Kandi |
