my dog

Here is another cute picture of my dog, which is reminiscent of that luck dragon in the Never Ending Story.







Once I get approved for the dog park email list, I'm going to send this note about my dog getting bitten today.



Sorsha, my white Greyhound dog, was bitten today at Quann park at about 3:15 pm near the South gate. The dog that bit her appeared to be a small-to-medium sized black dog named Loki. The owner did not stop to see if my dog was OK--- they merely called their dog off and left the park. They had another larger dog with them also. Sorsha's injuries will heal, but the behavior of this other owner really upsets me. Sorsha's green coat was torn also, and she fell down on the ice. It was not a minor scuffle. I understand that things happen between dogs, but it would have been nice if the other owner hadn't left immediately.

Thanks for reading,
Me

Poor baby. I'm glad she's doing okay.

I'm generally down on dog parks, because too many people have no clue. Dog body language is really not that hard to learn, once you know what to look for. Dog bullies need time outs, and some dogs just don't enjoy being in that environment, and shouldn't be there.

We love the dog park and go every day-- for nearly 11 months now. This is the first time something like this has happened. So it's pretty rare all told. It's true that some dogs don't do well there. Maybe this dog was't used to the park.
