#5 To go up? To go down? How 'bout the middle?

This would be my baby, she's a 9 month old German Wire Haired Pointer. Her name is Aloe Vera Rose, Vera or "V" for short, although Kelly calls her Spaz. She was always extremely hyper, and even though we would go on walks, and play ball every day, I couldn't seem to get her to pass out when I wanted to sleep. I also had an extremely hard time potty training her! Either way she was looking for attention and a way to let out her energy. Now I read up on the breed and I know they hate to be cooped up and are a high strung, high energy, dog. So I found Dr. Pauls Dog Park in Coconut Creek, Florida. This park is awesome! It has a wide open space for dogs to run with obstacals and another sectioned off area for like a party, if you wanted to have it with your pets, off the main area. Then they have another small area off the big park, for little dogs 20lbs and lighter, its like a smaller version of the main. This park gave Vera the option to learn obstacals or just play with other puppies her own age, along with valuable adult conversation for mommy! We usually head to the park around 6:30 pm and stay till about 9pm, that way we get the park to ourselves for about 30 mins and I can work on some obstacals with her. She was hesitant at first but as you see from the pictures now loves the "play toys" as we call them. The park has 2 'A' frames, 2 bar jumps, with diffrent height settings, 3 cement tunnels of diffrent sizes and lengths, 3 window jumps, a tire jump, a table for the down and stay, a long walk over, and 3 window jumps. Overall this park has a little bit of everything, only thing missing would be weave poles, which arent a big deal. Vera has made so many friends there of all diffrent breeds, she has even made 3 BFF's :) Lola the Rotty age 10 months, Lola the Rodesian Ridgeback age 5 months, and Dana the lab mix age 9 months. (: Pictures of them may be up soon if I can snap a few while they're playing! Ok and the last picutre on this blog would be when Vera gets home and she passes out under a blanket, just so happens to be a cow blanket how cute! Overall I just wanted to share a litle piece of our heaven on earth, at Dr. Pauls Dog Park :)

Enjoy!
