Kipawa enjoys a sunny day at the park

  • Seeing as Kipawa loves the dog park so much, I am treating him with a trip there every couple of days. It is a 15 minute drive there, mostly via highway and then through some scenic areas - lovely homes along the waterfront.

    Kipawa always starts off a little hesitant at the park, but then quickly pulls up his tail and enjoys everyone there. This time, he finally found a dog closer to his size that he really loved playing with.

    Overall, he befriends larger dogs more often. He did a couple of sweet nose greetings with two big dogs.

    And then there is time to go off on his own and figure out all of the smells. He runs around some taller grass, and I can almost think of him in Africa hunting and chasing down game.

  • Socialization is a wonderful thing! Glad he enjoys it so much, and that you have a nice park (with nice dogs) to go to.

  • Yes, socialization is great and fun too..you know he is having a ball and what better feeling is there?
    I love him playing with the doxie, as our doxie Gus is way to grumpy to play with Pippin..he snuggles with him but no play, NO…Gus will do anything for bodyheat but that is just about all.
    Great pictures btw.

    I give all the credit regarding Kipawa's mellowness to our breeders Therese and Kevin (FoPaw's Basenjis). They obviously did so much work in exposing Kipawa to a number of sounds and experiences. The carwash experience was really interesting. I thought he would be scared of it, but instead he seemed really curious. He especially loved the pink, green and yellow foam bubbles against the windows. Maybe he could pick up that I like them too? :)

    I looked up the dates for LGRA in August in Oberlin and I will on vacation that week in NC. I would like to meet up with you for a play date one weekend. Cody gets his staples out on Tues. (yeah) So after that I would be free most weekends until Aug 20. If you have suggestions on dog parks to go to let me know.
