I took Gabriel to the Eastside Off Leash Dog Park in the rain and slushy snow a couple of weeks ago.

The big foot-bath in the box gate was possibly one of the reasons for the absolutely deserted state of the park.

Let me hasten to add that the reason for the big puddles are all the Dogs, who, once they get into the park, are so excited about being in the park, that, as soon as the handler takes off the leash, they “peel outta there”, spraying gravel (and causing the hollows that fill up with rain and cause the big, deep puddles!)

I recommend boots for the humans.

The Dogs don’t seem to mind the puddles!
