consequences of not getting the dog out...

For the last few days I have been really sick with a chest cold-got antibiotics yesterday. Dog poops in house. It's so frustrating . also he's getting into stuff. WhenI put him out the second he barks the neighbour comes out and complains. Not good. Will take him for a walk-may help my chest as well.

Just me and my dog this morning-yesterday I was sick and the kids didn't get the dog out-he pooped in the house-so I got him out even though I feel like sh-t. I like to watch him wander and smell the trees and leaves and catch the stick. He's a great dog and he makes me feel better about myself when I make sure his needs are taken care of.

Riverview verses Moncton Dog park

Being a non-native to Moncton or Riverview-I hold no particular grudge, bias one way or another for either community. So today I checked out Riverview. I found the contrast so startling-where to begin? There are no trees, no vegatation, just rocks and gravel. The little dog park was busy...in contrase, the Moncton little dog park is almost never busy. The people seemed friendly enough-no pit bulls, rottweillers, boxers and other dogs that have caused me some grief at the Moncton park. I guess the big attraction at the Riverview dog park is the water for the dogs to wade in. I don't know if that is a plus...

I must say that the Moncton dog park has personality ... too much sometimes. Today a white boxer came to the park-the owner reassured me he was real friendly...not. I have never seen my dog bare his teeth-he did today-he was supper angry and very much on the defensive. After the white boxer attacked twice-I removed my dog (it should have been the other way around). As I was leaving he was going after another dog. The young man had brought his son who seemed to enjoy watching his dog attack other dogs...unnerving to say the least.
