Bark In the Park

That's the name of our soon to be local dog park

Located in this field

(Doogie is showing Daisy around --

Doogie's been here a lot, Daisy not so much)

There will be a big dog portion and a little dog section

separated by a neutral vestibule 

But to have a park we had to raise the money

Co-chairs, Deb and Ken and husband Jim and myself

And through the generous donations of our local dog lovers,

we raised the needed sum . . . for the fence!

So flags were put up where the fence will go

And Doogie went to the park to oversee --

to make sure that Todd and his park crew  were doing it right!

And every project needs a ceremonial ground breaking

And Bark In the Park was no exception . .  .

Doogie had a hard hat -- you can't break ground without one

And he was part of the ground breakers!

It happened last Friday

Hard hats ready for the ground breakers

And we had a crowd

Not just people came out to witness the groundbreaking

But dogs as well

Dogs of all sizes!

And if I'm in charge of something . . . 

There will be food . . . 

People treats 

(gingerbread and iced sugar cookies)

and

Pup treats

(real dog biscuits)

The groundbreaking was a success

The predicted rain held off until later in the evening.

And we're excited to finally get started on the dog park . . .

which is named

"Bark in the Park"
