Hey all,
I'm a member of multiple dog-groups and a brilliant gal just started
one for the Bay Area folks who can't always afford to go the pet-
sitter route.  Think of it as a Craigslist for the canine crowd.

Hi Karla,
Most dog parks have a peak hour around 4:30-6 PM when the longer days come.
Weekends are popular to and peak times are in the afternoon. Rain or bad
weather, the
Superbowl all take their toll on dog owners. Maggie has a page here of other dog
parks on
the peninsula: <http://home.earthlink.net/~ejlmp/Maggie.html>. If you live in
Sunnyvale,
you should check out the dog park at Los Palmas Park:
<http://home.earthlink.net/
~ejlmp/Sunnyvaledogrun.html>. Your malt poodle will like both parks everyday.
Dogs will
hypnotize you into changing your whole schedule so you can please them with
daily park
visits. Good luck.
Eric/San Mateo and the new park there open 8 months and 3 acres: <http://
home.earthlink.net/~ejlmp/sanmateodp.html>

My  name is Karla and I just found out about this park. I think this
will be great for precious (my little maltepoodle) to vist the park at
least few times a week. I live in Sunnyvale but work in Mt. View so
it's not that far of a drive and worth to give my doggie some sort of
distraction. As it is probably customary for newby, I have a question I
hope one of you can answer. Are there any specific days or times that
I'll find the place to be busier (meaning more dogs around? I want
precious to be able to play with other dogs so if I go and find no
other doggies there I will miss the whole purpose of going. Any
feedback you can provide will be great!  Thanks a bunch and hope to see
you there.

Hi All,

I'm Ursula - close friends call me Urs.  I frequent the MV Dog Park at
least 2x's a week w/my english staffy bull terrier - TWIZTID and my
overly obsessed border collie GUNNER.  I'm sure many of you have had to
throw the ball once or twice for GUNNER as he follows anyone who has a
chuck it.

Its a bit of a hike for you, but I would recommend the new dog park,
Fontana, which is located in San Jose at the corner of McAbee & Golden
Oaks Way. This is just south of 85 and Alamaden Expressway. They have
a split big/small dog areas. Not as good as Watson, but a nice park
with free parking.

A larger small dog area (that just sounds strange), can be found at
the Milpitas dog park but parking is $4.

Hi Gilda,

Mountain View's dogpark has a separate section for small dogs. Take 101
north and get off at the Shoreline exit. Head east on Shoreline Blvd.
to Shoreline Park. It will be on your right just before the main
entrance.

Hope this helps!

- Matt

Hello all,
I'm new to the group and would just like to say "hi". Me and my "kid"
Solan (45lb mutt, border collie mix?) usually go to the Santa Clara
dog park. He LOVES all people/dogs all ages and sizes and would love
to find some new buddies outside the dog park as well. Most of the
time we'll walk/hike along the creek trail in Los Gatos. If there's
anyone out there who would like to join us sometime let us know!

Hi all,

I was wondering if there were any small dog social/meetup type things
at the MVdogpark. I have a toy fox terrier 4mth puppy and she's super
small, we'd like to start socializing her at the dog park however even
the small dogs are much bigger than her.

So i was hoping there may be somekind of social for
chihuahua/miniaturepinscher/italian greyhound/Toy Fox terriers/...
etc. Tiny dogs there. If not, is anyone interested in starting
something up?

K.C.

San Mateo dog owners and the parks department are getting close to the
proposed April opening of the Seal Point Park dog run, Residents
started meetings in 1999, convinced the city council and defeated anti
-dog groups. The park will have big and small dog sections. There will
be a decomposed granite path through the park. Native grasses that need
no water will be in the center of the park and along the borders. There
will be shade rests along the path. For a photo taken 2/23/05 see:
<http://home.earthlink.net/~ejlmp/sanmateodp.html>. There will be
stairs and a path to the hill top for vistas of the SF Bay. Along the
path, there will be outdoor art displays. The park is along JH Clinton
Drive in San Mateo. Take 3rd St. Exit off 101 and go east. See you
there in April.

Someone told me about this site and i wanted to pass it on. It's a
FREE posting site for pet owners and their dog's needs. Let me know
what you think!

http://www.petso.org

Have you been to the dog Park in Santa Clara?. It is 30 feet from the
school lawn.  There has never been a problem that I know of.
Additionally they have organized soccer tournaments every weekend
with several teams, and they dogs are never a problem to them either.

Maybe you can use the Santa Clara Park as an example.  My dog is 6,
and we have gone since she was one year old.

At a park this small, the entire surface could have been DG.

S.J. converts vacant lot into off-leash dog park
By Janice Rombeck
Mercury News
A vacant city parcel has become a new off-leash park where dogs can
romp and their owners can relax.

The 6,500-square-foot Ryland Dog Park was dedicated Saturday at North
San Pedro and Ryland streets. The $50,000 project was designed by San
Jose Parks, Recreational and Neighborhood Services staff and mostly
funded by Legacy Partners Residential, developers of a nearby housing
complex.

The unleashing area is filled with decomposed granite and surrounded
by a 4-foot-tall fence. There also is a picnic table, benches and a
water fountain for owners and dogs.

The Vendome Neighborhood Association worked with the city on the
project. It is the city's third park where dogs can run unleashed. A
two-acre dog park opened last year in Watson Park, adding to the 3/8-
acre Miyuki Dog Park in South San Jose. Santa Clara County also
provides an area at Hellyer Park.

Dogs are not allowed to be in other city parks without being leashed.

---------------------  End of story  ---------------------

I just checked this.

The moderator has changed the group settings
so that new members will automaticly be moderated
until they post something sensible.

That will eliminate 95 % of future spam
Most spammers join and post spam with a different
email address each time and this YG option
was created to deal with that spam tactic.

The problem is now solved.

Your posts are usually pretty sensible and if you 2 leave
that would diminish the entire group.

If you leave the group let it be for a valid reason.

Hello,

I found a dog at the Mountain View Dog park.  He is about 25 lbs (looks like a
jack russell terrier mix).  His head is brown.  The rest of his body is white
with brown spots.

He was found wandering outside of the dog park yesterday.  I am taking care of
him in the meantime.

If no one claims him, I plan on keeping him.
