Back in the Dog Park

Brooklyn is getting so big!  She's 9 1/2 months now and is approximately 60lbs.  I haven't been taking her to the dog park for the past 2 months.  She got sick with kennel cough from another dog there and it took a long time to heal.  Some owners are so inconsiderate.  Apparently many dogs have gotten sick as well.  This weekend i took her back and she was beyond excited.  Spent the entire time running with "the pack".  Here are the highlights.

Meeting playmates at the dog park

Brooklyn loves going to the dog park.  As she is learning appropriate behaviors from other dogs, she is also getting much needed exercise.  We take her on long walks 3 days a day while she is young and unable to control her bladder well, but nothing beats an hour in the dog park.

We met a very nice lab mix, who has white paws and some white on his chest, hence the name Tuxedo Lab.  He is about 1 years old and is very mild mannered.  He recognized that Brooklyn is just a small puppy and was very gentle allowing her to be the dominant one.  If she bit too hard he let her know by making a small yelp and immediately she backed off.
