Got My Pet Park Permit [View all]

Got it Tuesday last week and started taking Vincent.
I think he might have been spooked by a bigger dog when he was a baby, and was REALLY reluctant. Running behind me, tail between legs...
I've taken him each of the last 4 days, 8 of 10.
Yesterday & today he started running with the other dogs. Not cowering, not running away. Chasing, being chased.
Still not ready to roughhouse, but I think he'll get there.
Oh and, HE'S REALLY FAST! None of the dogs out there can catch him from behind, and if he's chasing it's a matter of seconds before he passes them.
Our other dogs were lumbering doofuses. Vincent can MOVE!
We're really happy he's getting used to interacting.
