Vincent Made A New Friend Today

A Mally/German Shepherd mix named Lobo.
Our county is very big, area-wise, so there are 6 dog parks. She usually goes to one about 35 miles from here.
But, she needed to go to a town south of us so she stopped at our dog park on the way home.
Nice timing! Vincent & Lobo played chase for about a half-hour. Vincent is now passed out on the floor!
I didn't get a pic because I forgot my phone in the car. Sorry about that.

BTW, I love her name. It reminds me of Edna St. Vincent Millay, one of my favorite poets.

My wife calls him Vinnie, as in "My Cousin...".
When she uses his full name, she knows she's mad!

The "she" was a reference to the other dog's owner. Sorry, I read the post a little fast and got confused. Oops.

Well, all the other sentiments in my post still stand!

We went again today, but it was right after it rained. So, no playmates today. I might take him back later.

The parking area is 150 yards from the entrance, so if onevforhets something in the car, it stats there until time to go home!
Dumber thing is they have handicapped parking spots. People who need a handicapped parking spot are unlikely to want to walk 450 feet each direction. And, there's available land right across the walking trail from the entrance. They could have turned that walk into a 40' walk.
