So much fun at the dog park  

not a big fan of small dogs either, i grew up with 5 chihuahaus and they were very...vocal and timid.

oh gosh, don't take em to the city park-lol--I just came back from Philly and man what a difference! The PEOPLE way too overprotective of their puppies, well they were like wallflowers and just stayed on the side but my kids did get to run around with the big dogs, it was fun but not long lasting as here at home.

Yea, I think a lot of dog owners would take offense with your dog barking at theirs but I think this is a natural process, its how dogs communicate (as long as your dog is trained though, not biting)--I see that a dog will show teeth at another dog without biting and kind of intimidate them until to a rank of order is achieved but I also noticed this very thing scared some dog owners, none of the dogs were hurt.

I didn't want to be a intruder since we don't actually have a dog but my daughters just love it and Im not a oversensitive type--if my kids fall down its not reason to fall apart, my kids understand.

finding all the fun tucked away in your neighborhood, that' s the best part!

American's would have you for lunch if you tried to eat their dogs, LOL!

My ex told me in Turkey you see many stray dogs like you would see stray cats here in the States, here it is more rare to see stray dogs walking around everywhere.

I know I'm not ready for a dog as much as I would love my daughters to have one and they would too and I just am so glad that I have this option for them and so far the people in our area have been very understanding and I think they enjoy watching the kids play with their dogs, its really funny to watch!

oh, that interesting to know that you have lots of dogs in the park in your country. and i think that americans really love dogs for pets. i think here that there are some stray dogs before but now not that much as the government will catch those stray dogs cause some randomly bite people that is why i hardly see now stray dogs. and the dog owners don't let their dogs roam around now by themselves. cause mostly they let their dogs roam and the dogs usually go back to their owners or place when it is time to eat. thankfully no more stray dogs around. but i like stray cats. they are cuter. and we have lots of them also here.

that's funny, you like the cats. My neighbor down the street actually has a group of 3 cats that are really cute that come visit us a few times a week. Their trained cats so they do not cause any problems and my kids get to pet them by I have never really been a cat fan. I mean I don't hate them but I am allergic to cats so if I pet them my eyes feel so hurt and itchy, its not the cat's fault.

Whats funny is when my kids get to school I hope to have a dog that I can do my jogging at the park and going for walks because I think it would make me feel safe too because after the kids are asleep I like to go for walks then too.

There was just an incident not long ago with some stray dogs killing an elderly couple here in the U.S. which is something rare the numbers of dog mauling is like 33 a year or something.

though i like cats, i don't come near them that often. i just like to see them in my home and feed them but they are not allowed inside the house. they are just left outside if they want to stay in front doors. they usually stay cause one still is kitten and loves to stay in my place while the bigger rarely go out too. i have other stray cats that decided to live somewhere else after feeling that i don't feed them that often. i don't mind cause it is hard to feed to many cats. two are more than enough.

phew, ok, because there is people who will keep feeding lots of cats at one time
