We are all sad --
Jasper has died.
We are very sorry to announce the passing of Jasper, the Swiss
Mountain Dog.Jasper was a
big lug of a dog, happy to meet new friends, whether canine or
human.
He was still
only a puppy, really, when he died.
Bigger than almost any other dog at the
park, Jasper was a friend to animals of all sizes, and to
children and grownups alike.
All his friends at the park miss him. |

Flora is a mom!
Here's Flora and two of her new pups. Four boys and a girl.
They were born Monday, October 27, 2008


These Basset Hounds are Jesse and Logan, coming to see Andie
the Dalmatian To tell which Basset is which, remember Jessie has lots
of spots, just like Jesse James had lots of gang members. Logan
looks like there's a log on her side. |

Dogs love to gather together in the
forest, and chase each other around trees. |
|

Dancing, and tussling, are popular sports. |
|

Atticus was attempting to get close enough
to the camera that she could
surround the lens with slobber. A split second after this, she
succeeded. |
|

Flora is a regular visitor, and if she
likes you, she will sit on your foot, and protect you. |
|

This is the late Rufus, a wonderful
Bernese Mountain Dog who enjoyed much of his all too short life
playing at the park, often with his best friend Flora. |
|
Dogs like the park so much that some smile
when they visit. |

Maggie looks sly when she smiles. |

Scroll down and look for Sam again,
cleaned up. |
|

Part of being a genuine retriever is, of
course, being good at retrieving.
That's one of Emma's skills. |
|
 |
Beau was one of the
park's senior citizens, until he passed away in early September. |
 |
Among Beau's duties was welcoming
newcomers, via
the allowing of sniffing, smaller dogs. |
 |
The same little guy says hello to
Andie/ |
 |
Etoh is a Lab who knows how to move
very fast when he wants to, and enjoys a good tussle with Andie
when they are both at the park. |

Etoh can look very serious, but she really is a good natured dog. |
|
 |
Jack is the best greeter of humans
among the park's regulars, and is guaranteed to come up to
people he approves of, and offer himself for a pat or two. |
Tipper
lives with Jack at home, but at the park, Tipper is usually
found up on a table, so that it is easier for humans to pat her. |
|
Zoe
can laugh. She's also very good at running in circles, racing
around with other dogs. |
|
 |
We think this fast dog is
Miss Ellie, but we are not sure. She sure can run really
fast. |
 |
Dexter can run fast, too,
but he can also slow down and look really cute. |
 |

Dogs are not the only animals at the park. |
