Dog Park Etiquette

PEEPS!

My old retired A/A horse loves Peeps. He has Easter marked on the calendar.

I like to let them get a little sticky and stick them to his forehead. Ever see a horse cross his eyes?

Nina (who works in the town where they make Peeps - big article in the local paper every year)

and Ralph (“Show me the bunny!”)

and the Real Chrissy (who wouldn’t eat a Peep if her life depended on it)

<BLOCKQUOTE class=“ip-ubbcode-quote”><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR> But the truth was that Desmo was one of the most sweetest, playful and harmful dogs ever. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>Is someone in your family a Ducati fan? Or is there some other reason for the name “Desmo”?

Poor LouLou… Isn’t just awful when our poor little four footed children have to learn about this awful discrimination? Don’t you just bet Loulou was dying to tell the other dogs that her Zest of the West color was tres more cool and expensive than the other dogs’ entire annual vet bill? Of course, Loulou is much more well bred than them, so I am sure she just flashed them a tasteful shoulder

Next time you are headed this way, just bring Loulou up here and she can play with Casey the Corgi to her heart’s content (of course, we may have to play one-upmanship on our board bills

On the other hand, I think I would get to know the lady who called Shirley an alpha dog… I think I might recognize a fellow sarcastic soul!

Loulou would do great at “A” shows, as her collar and leash are matching havana bridle-quality leather.

Maybe I should go to Sam’s and buy one of those big ole lasagnas and cater this evenings “gathering” (sounds like a coven!).

Long Live Harris-Teeters… and Harry’s Farmer’s Market! I know what you mean about totally strange names… Food Lion, Piggly Wiggly, Winn-Dixie (was there like a Mr. Winn who loved Dixie?)… but I do think the Jitney Jungle may have to just win the contest, especially since I am not sure what jitneys have to do with groceries?

Oh, I have consulted several wine experts and they strongly recommend a Georgian red wine, preferably a 2000 Chateau Elan Grapee du Clay…

Have a little fun! Bring a load of road apples, let the pooches munch away, and when it is all gone, tell the ladies what road apples really are!

Urchin - too funny!! LOL I think the poo-eaters should all storm the Dog Park! Let 'em eat quiche!!

Did show up to the Dog Park last evening. The coven must have broken up early in order to prepare for the rising full moon last night, so it wasn’t as busy. Maybe Sprawl-Mart was having a sale on Sam’s Choice Box-O-Merlot and I didn’t know it.

As a confirmed carnivore, I like to bite the heads off my marshmallow chickens first!

And what’s with the sympathy for alcoholic lemons? Isn’t that the more humane approach, like putting lobsters in a pot of wine before you cook them? What’s next, Lem-Anon?

Peeps are an actual foodstuff? I always thought they were for entertainment value only…

Two words: PEEPS - MICROWAVE

You’ve never seen chickens grow so fast. (just don’t tell your kids about it!)

Duffy, from what I read in the paper, dog parks are the latest rage in NoVa - Arlington and Fairfax anyway.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Oh yes people are always fighting about it in the papers!! I’ve at least read two or three articles on it in either the Post or the Fairfax something . . . And I am only home 3 months out of the year!!

sounds like a job for Duffy and me to get on!!

Here is one of my favorite links:

The World of Peeps

I invite you to go to the recipe and craft section. My lord the things you can do with a peep!

I’m trying to think of anything that could be more sacreligious. Nothing is coming to mind.

“The older I get, the better I used to be, but who the heck cares!”

DMK, Loulou is a FEMALE!! Please don’t add gender confusion to her list of potential woes.

I find your post utterly insensitive and highly offensive! And don’t even THINK about emailing me!!! (Sorry, I am the only person who hasn’t had a chance to say that recently…couldn’t resist!!)

A case of Kendall Jackson Chardonnay might make you the hit of the park-y… and of course, Sam’s sells those cute little baby quiches…

Chateau Elan…good call. I was thinking a Biltmore label, but it’s not worth the $32 to get into the winery.

Fear not, Jeb!!! I can assure you the AJC would NEVER take on so controversial of a topic!!!

Oh, but I’m not sure you can handle the plight of baby quiches… the horror of their little, tiny shrieks as they are seperated from their loving parents, the quiet sobs of the loving mother quiches. And the transportation conditions! Did you know that those trucks are kept at just above freezing?! Have you ever heard of anything so awful? And we won’t even go into the fact that they are considered a “microwaveable” food…

Where’s Colin? I just know she and perfect Felix would fit right in!!! (Complete with cinnamon buns over her ears a la Princess Leah!) And, of course, it goes without saying that Perfect Pepper would too!!! I think we need to find one closer to home though. . .sigh. . .

MY LORD - the poor CUCUMBERS - plucked from the vine and made to sit in a crowded jar of vinegar, waiting to be eaten…
That’s it. I’m going back to eating meat. I hate thinking of the poor veggies and fruit suffering just to make my butt bigger!

Ah the toture of peeps . . we must all boycott this horrible practice . . .but first we must all go to this page to see how incredibly terrible the peep-abusers (bunny peeps of course) are. http://www.pcola.gulf.net/~irving/bunnies/

Jeb your poor dog, I’m sure they sense this sort of disapproval and internalize it to reappear as some type of neurotic behaviour later on. Having been the member of some of the most wonderful dog parks- legal and illegal!- I can’t imagine this group. Espically as my dog is the original alpha female and regards Jack Russells as amusing little toys (knock 'em down they just keep getting back up!). Actually she is a wonderful dog and has never actually bitten another (intimidation being her preferred technique) but our current group tend to greet Her Bossiness’s antics with cheers and gasps of delight. She was in fact voted All Around Cutest and Most Appealing Dog in a dog park poll recently. Head was so swollen I barely got her leash off. I can’t imagine if this Darwinian lot got together with your group. They would never see their tennis balls again, that’s for sure.
BTW that Peeps site is the funniest thing I have seen in ages. Waaay too much time on their hands.

This is such a funny thread!

Jeb darling, you must try to post more often!!!
