So, even though I continue to tell him not to do it, my dear husband brought Herman to the dog park.
I keep telling him I dont want Herman there (ever since that time he was a little over 3 months and was attacked by that dog a woman had just rescued and knew nothing about). Lo and behold, I drop by the park, and guess who's there.... in the dog park. Herman. At the time I got there, there was only one dog, a husky named Domino. She was sweet and Herman was chasing her, so I didnt freak out. Then it was like dog after dog just kept coming in - and I panicked each time a new dog came in.
But they were all gorgeous (and grown up) - 3 huskies, a leonberger, a sweet little golden retriever, a little black lab and a young german shephard and a few others. Even a beautiful brindle greyhound that looked like a tall, thin Herman (except she was a greyhound) LOL
They were all nice looking and well taken care of purebred dogs - and I noticed there were a couple of trainers in there too - and all the parents knew all the dogs!! The only maniac in there was Herman who was humping any dog that laid down LOL (He might be banned
)
It wasnt so bad... I was still tense the whole time, but I feel a little better about going there. All of the dogs were gentle, and were mostly interested in those who were running and playing tug. Since Herman was only interested in humping, they just jumped over him LOL The poor golden retriever was happy laying in the mud playing with a tug toy, even while Herman humped him up and down and I had to pry him off the poor dogs back.
I'm still skeptical, but seems the 4:00-4:30 crowd all know each other and it seemed safe.
