Being cooped up in our tiny Oakwood apartment with little more than leashwalks to keep them entertained, Otis and Rudi have probably suffered the most in all of this. Its the sad plight of the dogs who came before the children. Once upon a time, their needs were at the very top of our priority list. But now, they have fallen sadly to somewhere near the bottom.
No more! Thanks to a convoluted discovery of the Shirlington Dog Park, the boys are back in action and I have some time to reflect on how very important these critters are to my sanity. For anyone with dogs, I urge you to make a trip over. It is a long stretch of park where they can frolick sans leash and take a dip in the stream that runs the park's length. Ever since we came upon this canine oasis, we've all been quite a bit happier and more relaxed.
I live just up the hill from this park. Noostie and I like to go through there as part of our walks (when we aren't running instead).
ReplyDeleteCareful of the stream though...it has had many incidences of geardia (sp?) because some jerk keeps dumping our port-o-potties upstream.
Oh good!!! Im happy for the "boys". I too have found a beautiful sans leash walk in East marion now all I need to enjoy it, is a knee that can handle it. xoxox C
