Bulldog friends

This weekend we went to Lynwood for a visit. One of my goals was to get Winnie and Lucy back in the saddle again and on the road to being friendly to one another. As I have mentioned before, Lucy has had some adjusting to do since we lost Mazzy, and is a bit confused on how to behave around other dogs now that her position in the pack has changed. After an initial cranky bout upon arrival, Lucy shed her baditutde and she and Winston were acting once again like fast friends. As you can see by the pictures above, they have found it more to their advantage to become allies in the pursuit of fallen treats and unattended platters of cookies.

Magnuson Off-Leash Dog Park Witnesses on 10/26

No, this blog is not about our incident from the dog park on Sunday. It is about someone else’s attack turned tragedy that happened the same afternoon we were at Magnuson. The couple of a small dog that was attacked by a black lab or lab mix is looking for witnesses to step forward. The small dog consequently died from it’s injuries. This happened Sunday, October 26 around 4 pm near the water. Click here to read the original blog post on seattle metblogs.

The aggressive dog was known to wear a muzzle. Come on.

This only reiterates my point about knowing and monitoring your dog’s behavior. You do not take an aggressive dog that needs to wear a muzzle to a dog park. WTF. Be a responsible pet owner.

I’m writing about this post in hopes that someone might read it and pass along the information. If you saw what happened Sunday afternoon, please contact 206-484-9428 or 425-772-2389.
