This morning Tonks, my sister and I went to check out the newest Bark Park in town. Ok, so it's not really our town but it's the town hubby and I work in. I've never lived anywhere with a bark park and since Tonks is still young and thinks everyone was put on earth to love her, I figured it was as good a time as any to check it out.
We were a little leary at first and took her to the 30lbs and under area. Sadly she's going to out grow that area pretty quick and that was the area we had the most fun in. Tonks thought it was great to meet so many new people.....oh yeah and their dogs. The dogs were right about her same height so that was fun for her, plus she was able to run and play. I got a good laugh even when a 4 month old Westie showed up and the two started running. The Westie was able to outrun Tonks and after about 5 minutes of trying to catch up to her, Tonks crashed and was ready to go home. Of course by the time that happened, we'd been there for an hour and a half. Not bad though since I'd been thinking we might actually need to stay longer than that.
The people in the small dog area were also much friendly than the people in the large dog area and everyone made sure there were no problems at all, which I really liked. The people in the large do area were more concerned with talking to each other or talking on the phone. Many of them didn't even pay much attention to wait their dogs were doing. Personally I'm hoping Tonks doesn't get much over 30lbs so we'll be able to still hang out in the small dog part. Her mom was pretty small so it's actually a possiblility.
All in all, a good time was had by all and Tonks and I can't wait to go again. If you've got a dog but have never taken it to a bark park and have the oppertunity to do so, I definitely recommend it. Poor Tonks is still tired 9 hours later. lol
