Not a good day at the puppy park

Mom took me to the puppy park after she finished work today. I was so excited to go, because I love it there. I had fun playing with a four month old doberman and a brown labrador. They left and in came a miniature pinscher and a rat terrior. We had SO much fun chasing each other!

But then a HUGE black poodle had to ruin my fun by getting in my face. I let her know that I didn’t appreciate that, but she didn’t care. Thankfully, a husky came in and and she left me to go play with the other dog. That didn’t last very long because the poodle came back and jumped on me and rolled me. That made me scream and cry, so Mom came and pulled that poodle off of me and walked with me to the other side of the park. She told me that we wouldn’t leave until I had a chance to play and have fun again.

I didn’t want to play anymore, even when the min pin tried to cheer me up.

Next thing I knew, the poodle came back to pick on me again and she brought the husky with her. I tried to run away, but they rolled me on to the ground and kept jumping on me. Mom pulled them both off of me and guarded me while we tried to leave the park. The poodle kept biting me all the way to the gate, even though Mom kept pushing her off me. The poodle’s mom didn’t do anything to help, which made Mom really MAD.

I was so scared even after we got out of the park, that I didn’t even want to go swimming!

I think Mom is still sad this happened to me and has been giving me special play time and treats all night. She told me that next time a dog tries to get in my face after I’ve warned them not to, she’ll take me out of the park to do something else.

Mom is hoping that I won’t be afraid to play with big dogs after this. Me too.
