Tales from the Dog Park

Lucky finds out Juniper is not that much fun.

Juniper is an odd dog. Around here she is also known as The Killer of Fun. It seems her highest purpose is to keep others from playing with a toy, or otherwise having a good time.

We took advantage of the good weather Saturday to go to the dog park. Juniper lurked at the edges of the fun, and then would run out when anyone looked like they were enjoying themselves. There was never any barking or biting, she's just a big old wet blanket.

She gives them the hairy eyeball, and everyone wonders off to some other side of the park. Probably to talk about her. Actually, I think she really wants to play, but since she was not well socialized as a pup, she just doesn't know how.
Actually, everyone did have a good time, despite Juniper's disapproval. Here's a meet&greet.

A quick game of tag,
Boodles protecting her virtue,

And Boodles resting up.

This guy wasn't nearly as worried as he looks.
