Molly excited to be at the dog park (photos courtesy of my cousin, since I forgot to take photos of anything)!
The area we were in was fairly empty, when we first got there, there was a larger dog taking advantage of the empty area to play a game of fetch with her owner. Of course, Molly just couldn't stand to see a dog running without being involved, so she chased after the other dog for each fetch, barking along the way. It actually seemed like she was trying to herd the other dog a bit, which makes me even more curious about what her mix might be. After a few times of being chased after, the larger dog got a bit irritated and corrected her a bit. She took it well, backing off but not getting too scared about it.
She got along fairly well with my cousin's dog too, which is great - I'd love for her to have a buddy close by and to have more 'playdates'. I also got to see how she reacted when I petted other dogs in her presence and she was perfect with no jealousy at all.
After we were there about a half hour, a few smaller dogs showed up and she showed a bit of interest in them but was mostly happy to hang out with her 'gang'. On the way out, a large lab puppy jumped on top of her while she was on leash. I was pretty tense, expecting her to freak out a bit, but she took it remarkably well. All in all it was a great day!
