No Cats Allowed!!!! Rules Of the Dogs

We decided to take my dogs, Angel and Jingle, to the gated dog park over by Oxnard and

Cahuenga. We are going to study how people and their dogs have a good time together.

They have a nice sit down area where people can relax and watch their dogs play with

others. These people are a group of regulars that come and catch up on old times.

This is my boyfriend Makara, he is playing

fetch with Jingle Belle and another

dog. A lot of people like to play fetch with

their dogs at the park. And you’re not

limited to playing with your own dog.

Some people just enjoy walking around the dog park and watching everyone play.

Sometimes their will follow.

This is Angel, she is my Maltese. She is a friendly and happy dog. She loves to go to the dog park, and run with the pack.

She also likes to go up to different people and meet them. She always has to know where I am at all times. None of the dogs mess with her, because this 4.5 lbs. doggy can be very scary.

This is Jingle Belle, she is my other dog, a Shi Tzu. She is a happy and playful doggy. She loves to play with the toys around the park

like her favorite, the ball. She also loves to run around and dig holes. But she is very shy around other dogs. She only likes to play

with Angel, when other dogs comes near she runs and tries to avoid them. Like hiding behind me or my boyfriend.

One thing I love about this dog

park is how friendly the

people and dogs are. Here is a

lady giving water to a group

of dogs.

The park is a also a great way for dogs to socialize with other dogs. Also they get a big wide field to run and play. The park is divided into two parts, one for big dogs and one for shy or small dogs.

I love taking my dogs to the park. They run and get

to play with other dogs. And I get to sit with other

dog lovers and tell dog stories.
