Big Dog Park Adventure









We had heard about an awesome dog park on the north side of Bloomington, so we decided to take Herky and Kinnick there. Lezlie came along and brought her two dogs, Molly and Zelly. When we first got there, it seemed great: lots of grass to run and play, lots of friendly dogs and owners, and even a reservoir off of Griffy Lake to swim in. We soon found out that there was no fence seperating the park from the surrounding wooded area. So we had to watch the dogs very carefully so they didn't run off into the woods. Then as Kinnick was chasing another dog (way across the dog park from us) they suddenly got through a hole in the fence! The two dogs were running along the road! But luckily two other guys helped us and both dogs came right away when we called them. After chasing Herky, Kinnick, Molly & Zelly in the woods and on the road and thinking that we had lost them for sure - we decided to leave. Unfortunately, I don't think we will be going back anytime soon, not until we can be sure that they will come when we call them. It's really too bad we can't go back, because the dogs had a blast and it sure wore them out!
