The Dog Park

Our little puppy has a LOT of energy!  Needless to say, this was not such a great combination with the rough winter that we had here in Nebraska.  About February, I found the local dog park.  Lucy was instantly in love.  When we got her from the Humane Society, we were told she was "under socialized."  She did great with people, but was pretty timid around dogs.  The dog park changed this for good!  Even though it was freezing cold for us--we stuck it out for Lucy once or twice per week.  She has made great friends there, and has burned MANY a calorie!

Now that it's spring (at least it seems to be), we have enjoyed the dog park that much more.  It's amazing to me that I can take her there for only half an hour or so, and come home with a dog that is so exhausted she instantly falls asleep--now THAT is great!  So, for you dog owners--check one out--they're good for you and your dog :)
