Got a Dog?

This area including Seattle is loves dogs!  Someone told me once that there are more dogs living in Seattle than children.  Hmm.. I don‘t know about that but if that were the case, there would probably a number of reasons why.  For one, people who live here are crazy about their dogs.

And have you been to a dog park in spring?  Dog owners in Seattle love to mingle and socialize with other dog owners at various dog parks around the city. The off-leash parks are the most popular.

People here do everything with their dogs.  I was in line at a bank the other day and this gal had a little something (looked like a rat) in her purse.  All you could see it a wet nose.  And don’t mention walking and running with your dog.  If you like to go running with your dog, check out this online community of Seattle Dog Runners called Djog . The slogan is “Creating canine contentment one Djog at a time.
