How do you like to run in the
park,
With other dogs so free?
Oh, I do think it the pleasantest thing
Ever has happened to me!
The Conejo Valley is a
great place for dogs—lots of hiking and open space, excellent
medical care and parks designated just for us. (Why don’t they
call other parks people parks or talk parks?) Here are my favorite
local dog parks. All but the beach allow me to go without my leash.
What freedom!
Oh by the way, if you’re
looking for a home that’s a step up from a doghouse, give my mom a
call. She’s the best! |
