Last night Sweetie and I went bike riding afer stashing SuperPizzaBoy and his buddy Nicholas playing with the Wii at Nana’s house. We got off to a late start and only did about 13 miles. I had my camera but I didn’t take too many pictures. Sweetie will leave me if dally, so best just to keep moving.
The end of our ride was a loop around Hunter Park in South Tulsa. The newly opened dog park was there and it was busy!
They have two enclosures. Pictured is the large dogs, off to the left, out of the picture, is one for small dogs. Sweetie and I agreed that we are going to grab our two mutts, Ginger and Abigail, and Nana’s dog, Fiona and take them. This looks like great fun.
Is there anybody out there familiar with dog parks? If so, please tell us a little something about them. They look like a blast.
Speaking of dogs, I found the following while running on the river earlier this week. Tulsa is rebuilding many of the river trails and I’m glad they are thinking of our four legged friends. I think this is a wonderful idea. I had never seen anything like that.
Have you seen something cool for dogs or other pets? I would like to hear about it.
That is a great idea for dogs and their owners!
You guys make me feel guilty at how lazy I am!

That is a wonderful idea for the puppies.
I need one of those in my yard. Very nice!
These dog parks are something new for Tulsa. When I was a kid dogs just ran around the neighborhood. Now if they get out they get nabbed by the dogcatcher. It is hard to find a place to let your dog sniff around without getting into trouble. We take Smokey the wonder dog up to Chandler park. During the week it is usually pretty deserted.
Almost makes me wish I had a dog!!!
That sounded like a great bike ride and loved the photos. I have never seen a water fountain that also caters to our four-legged friends. What a great idea. I bought a portable drinking bowl for my sister’s dog once. It was made of a cloth that you could squish down and put it in a bag for use on a walk. They would always take water along and share it with their pooch. But I think those are pretty common.
No dog parks here, but I’ve been to a couple with my daughter in SLC. Dogs and “parents” seem to get along well. They also have off leash dog days on some hiking trails in the city. The dogs love to socialize.
I’ve not been out to see the new Dog Park yet. Of course we don’t have dogs anymore though. Thats a great ideal making water fountain so the dog can get a drink.
@Brit Gal Sarah- You make me feel lazy! LOL
@Tulsa Gentelman – Lots have changed since we were kids. Not all for the better either.
@Dawn – you can borrow one of ours, or both. Or I’ll just give them to you.
@Denise – we are bad dog owners. We are always forgetting to bring water for out dogs.
@Janie – Off leash days is an interesting concept.
