Any "dog" fields around here?

Holy cow stop...the train left you. There are plenty of single dogs that are perfectly fine...Not everything in the world has to have some "friends" to lean on to be happy

I'm an animal LOVER myself, I would never want to put one in harm's way, so don't think that. My wife's puppy is 10 months old now, she didn't see the dog park her first time until last month.

And as for the mental health thing, I agree that it's not a necessity...but it's a nice treat for them, so maybe I used a bit too much context, my bad.
Its kind of a drive for you, like 20 mins, but over here in Hampton we one called a Bark Park(lol haha get it
... nm) any who its located right next to Buckro Beach. Pretty nice place; its got alot of obsticals like they have for agility contest on TV in there so your dog can get work out while having fun. You have to get the dog registerd and get proof that it has all of its shots. Its great because not many ppl know about this particular park since its kinda out of the way near the beach, i take my dog there all the time and he loves it.

No joke, I saw a little mini-dobie OWN the entire big dog lot, it was the funniest thing evAr.

I love my Luie Dog(his name is Luigi...an american golden retriever with an italian name, go figure) and I would take him out somewhere but he runs enough in the backyard and my dad takes him to the neighborhood park everyday. Whats wrong with princess anne park? Are there no dogs allowed there or something? There are plenty of places for a dog to run there. I should take mine out but he always dirty.

And also...I'm assuming by BP you mean a bordatella shot...kennel cough shot..AND IF ANYONE HAS A FUCKING PUPPY THAT HAS NOT FINISHED ITS SERIES OF SHOTS...KEEP IT AT FUCKING HOME!!!! puppies catch EVERYTHING and should be kept in your yard until its shots have been completed. the other important thing...be prepared to more than likely pick up a parasite..hookworms..coccidia...all the lovely little bugs that will make your dog shit its brain out..
