Bark Park #8
It was a HOT HOT HOT one today. We got to the park when it opened at 10:00am and within 20 minutes several of the dogs there had enough. I can’t say I can blame them. It was 90°F at 10am and the temps quickly rose to scorching levels (we are all light weights in Ohio, not used to this heat). My dogs however hit the water right off the bat and were happy as larks.
There were alot of dogs early on but the crowd thinned out pretty quickly as it got hotter and hotter. Jack and Greta were the only big dogs that showed up. Misty and Gabby the Newf’s couldn’t make it (we hope their mommy is feeling better ) and we knew not to expect them.
There were several scuffles, nothing major and no dog got hurt. I think the heat just got to everyone and made everyone snarky. Of course my kiddos were good little Labradors and weren’t involved in any of the unpleasantness. They just wanted to have fun and act silly.
The Three stooges decided they were tired and hot and needed to go home and rest. I think I actually decided that but they were more than willing to go to the air conditioned car.
Make sure you visit the Gallery for today’s Bark Park Visit to see lots more pictures of us and of our buddies at the park.
Hopefully you will notice a quicker load time for the site. I adjusted the number of entries that show up and I have noticed it loads quicker for me at least.  Also, in case you are wondering, Rufus is doing much better today. After I trimmed the hanging pad skin he is in alot less pain and is no longer hobbling. He still favors his paw just a bit outside on the pool decking but no where near what it has been like the past few days. Thank you for all the well wishes – the good vibes are paying off and he is well on his way to being “back to normal”
NEXT BARK PARK IS IN 2 WEEKS ON AUGUST 2nd.

Yeouch, it’s been super hot here, too. I didn’t even go to the dog park today, but I’m just fine hanging out in the A/C today. It’s too hot to do anything else. And I deserve a break after my crime-fighting work earlier this week. My Momma has to help me write a post on it.
Wishing for a pool,
Biggie

Yeah, it looks pretty hot out there! Well, it’s always nice to take a dip in a doggy pool or the lake. It really does revive your energy & you won’t even be thirsty after that.

Thank you Baylee
I saw how hot it was out your way on the news this morning. Keep cool big dude!
I can’t wait to hear about your crime fighting adventure…
Amber… they were absolutely exhausted by the time we got home and were more than happy to lay around in the AC. Rufus went out to pee and got into the pool he was so hot and Brutus did his business and ran straight back inside. They do not care much for this heat at all.
Maggie and Mitch, I saw on the news how hot its been on the east coast. Hope you too were able to keep cool. Rufus is doing much better, thank you.
Vicki you would have just melted here the past 4 or 5 days. We may get storms tomorrow and Tuesday and it is supposed to give us a little relief. Thank goodness!
