This is where Pharaoh goes to play with other dogs and meet lots of people. Yes, I know I should have my head examined. But, that is how I raised Shadow and Phantom and they really got socialized to where I could bring them almost anywhere. I wish you guys were all local and we could have dog parties. I am so lucky that where I live I have a good place to take him. It is his favorite thing in the world. I watch him like a hawk and the people and their dogs who arrive while we are there. On Thanksgiving there were about 8 German Shepherds of all types and all really well socialized (including a Schutzhund titled sable female.)

The man with a cane that Pharaoh is playing keep-away with is one of his favorite park people. I was concerned about how Pharaoh would react to this guy when we first met them. The border collie in the picture is his and is a great dog. But, the guy has, let's just say, unusual body language and behavior. He yells loudly and happily, flapping his arms while he throws the ball for the dogs. Pharaoh really likes his dog and thinks he is great fun.

This is another of Pharaoh's favorites. It is an eight month old American Showline/German Showline cross named Darko. They careen wildly around the park. Very, very happy!
