My point was, what if they don't ask? One morning Tipper and I were on the way to the vet, where he was about to do a procedure, and she needed to have fasted...
Re: Should we try out the toys are not? As most everyone knows, we took a vote at the dog run to decide if we should try out balls in the run. With 311 votes,...
Small Run Simple every day maintenance we can do when we're standing around the run a little bored. 1.) Rake sand from the cribbing along the edges towards the...
One thing people don't understand here is that I've had two dogs in a row that go into a fugue state when they manage to grab something like a tennis ball, and...
I was there last night too... On another note, that was the most fun my dog has had In awhile! The balls were fun and got the dogs ruunning around and chasing...
It is irresponsible for anyone to feed a dog that is not their own. A year or two ago I was at the park and this guy, without a dog came in and sat right in...

I'm away right now so I haven't responded to any of the emails. I, too, have a dachshund that LOVES playing ball but becomes aggressive if other dogs are...
Beth, you are not alone. One of my dogs (chi mix) has aggression issues around toys also. However he also has a whole other host of problems so I most of the...
First of all, thanks to Garrett for getting the toys into the run. After watching the dogs in the small dog run over the past few days it seems like a hit....
Thanks Terry, but be sure to thank Steve, Dallas and Eric too for help with that rule. More importantly, let's all take a moment and look around at each other....
Certainly, thanks to all those that helped change this stupid rule to sanity. We were the only run in the city with this rule and it is great to see it...
Let's not pull out all the stops yet, please; we've softened the rules to allow tennis balls. I was one of the most vocal opponents of a rule change, because I...
We're in the middle of installing the new bone memorial. If folks would like to purchase a brass nameplate to place on the bone, they are available online at...
Naturally, I don't think there should be too many rules at First Run; I find the more rules there are, the less enforceable they are. For instance, I see...
Being a clicker trainer -- and often walking other people's dogs -- I try not to travel without treats ever. And I've got no problem with people quickly...
I wasn't saying that; other people's dogs follow me because I always have treats in my pocket—and I often ask them to "Call your dog." (This backfired when...
Hi Heather, It's pam, punky's mom. Can you please remove me from the smalldogrun email list since I don't have access. My email is pconrad@.... Thanks...

I updated the website with instructions on where to purchase tags and how to install them on the new bone memorial http://www.dogster.org/bone.shtml...
Michael, Tompkins Square's gardener, asked me if some folks might be willing to help him turn the soil on the field that we used for the temporary dog run. If...
Sorry about sprinklers in the run yesterday afternoon -- especially in the small run. Parks requested that we sprinkler the run to help cut down on dust and...
Introducing balls to the run just introduces one more variable; it's not necessarily right or wrong, but I'd be interested to know if any people are now left...
Okay--what do I do now? Do I approach someone in Parks, or is there a member of First Run who will take it and affix it to the memorial? I'm sure other people...
