| - You know my dog has it really tough. After 8 hard hours of sleeping on my bed, he has to get up when I do, follow me around the house while I get ready and see me off to work. Then it's outside for his sun bath, followed by 15 minutes of getting into stuff, and then a rigorous stretch. Then a 4 hour nap, some sniffing, and then another nap. No wonder he's so tired when I get home that he collapses on the nearest pile of laundry and proceeds to start snoring. It's a ruff time (haha, I'm so flippin' funny.)
So when he's stressed out and needs a break, we head on over to Cosmo Dog Park for Yappy Hour. There is butt sniffing to do, pee mail to check, and all kinds of activities. If the car is dirty and the weather is warm, we go in to the lake area where he can fulfill his dream of being a water dog. After some swimming and splashing, and of course some vigorous shaking (as close to his human as possible, because the only thing hotter than lake water in your mouth is wet dog lake water hurled at the speed of light) it's off to the big dog area, for some running, ball chasing and agility fun.
They have well constructed agility equipment - yay for concrete, good watering areas, and TONS of room to run and romp. Plenty of nasty tennis balls to throw, and most people are good about the poop scooping. The fact they have a completely separate area for small dogs is a huge plus too.
Overall, while this is more of a drive for us, it makes my dogs day to go out and have fun at the park, and the quality of this park makes the extra miles well worth it.
Side note:
I'd love to kick the person who voted good for kids, dog parks are NOT FOR CHILDREN of the two legged variety. Just because your kid likes dogs doesn't mean my dog likes kids. He does, but I feel terrible when dogs trample toddlers, the screaming and crying gives me a headache. Let me bring my baby (the furry kind that will never talk back) and leave your ankle biters at home.
