So my terror of a dog, Beauregard, and I went to Martin Park, a 50-acre dog park in Pinehurst on Sunday, and he had a blast. There were so many dogs there, and he was surprisingly well-behaved. He didn’t jump on any strangers or tear up any trash cans. He got snapped at more than once because he was too playful for the older and smaller dogs, but all in all, he didn’t run away and he even made a girlfriend – a blonde, of course – a golden retriever-border collie mix named Abby.
Sanford needs a dog park. The nearest ones are at least 30 miles away from here, in Cary, Chapel Hill, Pinehurst and Fayetteville. A dog park would bring in people from all over, add to the quality of life for Sanford residents and add to the economy as well. Think about it, city council. Use some of that stimulus money on a dog park along one section of the greenway.
Here are some photos of Beau with his girlfriend.
Anyway, I think it may have been the best day of his life so far, because when we got home, he went to sleep at around 7 p.m. and I had to wake him up the next morning. He forgot all about it by Monday evening though.
