Today we met up with a friend (Deadra & her dog Ruby) @ the dog park in St Joe. I was very excited and a little anxious to see how Lucas would react to the other dogs. He did fine with his new friends Bo & Annie. They played, barked, & chased until they were worn out. Then a new dog showed up. Right from the get go Lucas didn’t like Buttercup/Benson (not sure which is the correct name so we’ll call him B for short). It all started at the small holding area that all dog must go through before they get into the actually open area of the park. Well Lucas ran up and sniffed barked a little and then went silent. B came out of the holding area and sniffed Lucas immediately and walked off. I guess some dog stuff went on becuase Lucas immedately started barking and growling at B. The owner of B told Lucas to stop so I grabbed Lucas and pulled him away. B was giving off some major “leave me alone” vibes and all the dogs stayed away, until B came up to sniff Ruby. Lucas went right up and stared at B trying to make him back down. When B wouldn’t look away Lucas attacked him. No dog got hurt but it really bothered me. I felt that Lucas started the whole thing. The owner complained that B was limping, but left right after that.
My hope for Lucas was that he would get along with all dogs, but that is sadly not the case. We are going to try the dog park again, but not anytime soon.
Our little family currently consists of Darryl, me, along with our pups Lucas & Lily. We've been together for 14 years now, and we love every minute of it. I enjoy all types of crafty things such as knitting, crocheting, photography, sewing, and making cards. Darryl enjoys gaming (both PC and PS3), playing guitar, cooking, and just veggin out. Lucas and Lily just love to sleep, eat, and pets.
