Yesterday's dog park visit = 15 dogs!

Not all at once, but during the three hours Conker and I were there, 15 dogs including Conker went to the park.  The most at one time was nine, that was really fun.


When we first got there there was just one dog.  A four month Kelipe/Border Collie/Lab/whatever mix.  I was sure she has some type of bully breed in her but the guy was adamant she was his mish-mash of dogs.  She was pretty cute and those two played for a good hour before more dogs showed up.

First it was Setson, a red Siberian husky we'd met before and Midnight, a black Lab we'd also met.  A few minutes later the Westie lady and her three West Highland White Terriers showed up.  I think their names are Bruno, Max and... something else with a B.  We'd also met them a few times before.


Then a guy I've seen but not talked to arrives with his fat six month Lab and his older retriever mix of some sort.  They always do stuff on their own.  Not long after someone with a Doxi/Chi mix showed up but they were only there for a few minutes then left. 
The Westie lady left but another person came with an older Australian Shepherd and a six month old Pit Bull.  The guy with the mix puppy doesn't like Pit bulls even though her puppy was loving playing with the Pit and he left.  Whatever dude, it's a dog and yours like it.  The Aussie/Pit girl kept coming and going, then leaving her dogs there and leaving the park and doing other things... that was somewhat confusing.  I hate it when people leave their dogs in the park without telling you where they're going. (It's not allowed if you read the damn rules.)


A Husky/Shepherd/Terrier mix came in next then shortly after another husky named Sitka.  She wasn't too fond of the number of dogs in the park and kept jumping on the table.  River the Catahoula Leopard mix came in next and he brought a ton of energy to the park.  Sitka and the Husky mix went off to the other end while the younger dogs romped around their people.


The last dog to arrive was a young Boxer mix named Cleo.  She was a bit intimidated at first then joined in playing rough-and-tumble with River and the Pit Bull.  By then Conker and I had been there for about three hours and he was just lying near me watching everyone else play.

The dogs and people began to leave and eventually it was just Conker, Stetson and Cleo.  We all decided to call it quits since our dogs were tired and Conker was getting after me to give him food.  It was a great day, no fights, a tuckered out Shiba for the rest of the night, I hope today's dog park excursion is something similar.
