A Tale Of Two Dobermans

 

Just before the New Year my friends Laurie and Patrick took Cooper to BOOS.

Boos was a wonderful place where there were dog parks; and where you could but superb wood cooked Pizza.  Sad to report, BOOS is now closed.

Whilst we were there Cooper had a crush on the handsome Doberman, photo'd above.  Coop followed the Doberman everywhere. The Doberman was not impressed!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This afternoon Cooper and I went to 17th St. Park, there to meet Maia, an eleven-month-old female Doberman pup.

Maia was with two men and two boys. A grandfather; son, and two grandsons/sons. They told me that Maia would never have her ears docked.  GREAT!

They also explained that this was Maia's first visit to a dog park; and that she was very shy.

It took a while, but in due course young Maia consented to have some short run-arounds with Cooper.  

Cooper has a magic which makes other dogs feel secure. Grandad and Dad were tickled pink that their eleven-month-old puppy had a positive encounter at her first visit to the park - as it happens it was with my wonderful Mr. C.

And the grandsons.  The younger is on the autism spectrum and was engrossed with his electronic device.

The old, aged about nine was as well put together as any nine-year-old could be.

His name is Christian.   I told his dad and granddad that I was so impressed with Christian.  They agreed.  He is a cool kid.

All in a day's work.  The fellowship of the Dog Park is precious.

(And so many other dog owners tell me how much they and their dogs like Cooper).
