Dog Park Etiquette & Rules

As I sat at the dog park today with M&M there were a few things I noticed:
  • Rule is if your dog takes a poo - pick it up. Now just because your dog poo's on its way to the actual enclosed fenced area doesn't mean you shouldn't pick it up. If you don't carry the little bags with you then go inside the park and grab one of the ones they provide for you, go back out AND PICK IT UP! Dumb *ss.
  • Kids are not allowed inside the park. Not surprised when one kid who was running across the park was being chased by a dog. Kid kind of stopped, a little frightened, and continued on to his destination. Mom? Sitting on the bench talking on the phone. Clueless!
  • So when the second kid, looked a little younger than the first, was being chased (by the same dog) I was surprised when mom finally got off her *ss to go help - phone still pressed to the ear mind ya.
  • This is the first time that I've noticed someone come into the park with a bag 'o beer. He looked college age. Probably just turned 21 and just can't get enough beer. Or maybe he had a really hard day at work and just had to have one, even if it was at the dog park.
  • And when you start to notice too many little scuffles going on its time to grab the dog and head out.

One nice side note though. They have done some nice improvements to the park we go to. They've added several more picnic tables and benches for us humans to sit on.
