Jacksonville Dog Owners

Jacksonville Humane Society is having a "fun walk" on March 3rd if anyone is interested. Looks like a lot of fun and we'll be there with our dogs!

  • Aww, I think Belle and I might have to do that! Pumpkin is crazy, and Charlotte barks too much... Belle's my only good one! Haha.

    Do you think I could take Violet in the stroller?

    Don said Barney wouldn't walk the full mile and a half because he's too lazy and I have to carry him if he won't walk. LOL

    I looked at pictures from last year and see lots of strollers so I think it would be fine. I think they're actually babies in the strollers and not dogs, but then I saw this dog in a baby bjorn thing so who knows.

  • That is a great event, although neither one of my dogs would do well with that much stimuli around them.
  • It looks like a lot of fun but I have no idea how Rocky would handle something like that. I think it might be a little too much for him.

  • I'm so glad I'm not the only one with "bad dogs". I hate that I can't take them down to RAM or like, Bark at the Park. 

    And LB - Belle might end up in the stroller with Violet at some point, I don't think she can do 1.75 miles either, lol. But I'd never use a dog stroller, I side-eye those people hardcore.

    I'm really not sure about Rocky. I mean, he's really good with lots of people. I've just never seen him with multiple dogs. He always pulls and wants to sniff when we pass other dogs in the neighborhood but he's pretty calm about it. He'd probably be just fine but I don't think something like this is the right opportunity to test that theory out.

    I'm sorry if I offended you! I don't mean to say he's a bad dog.

    I get over sensitive about it. I hate that I can't 100% trust Pumpkin to behave around other dogs, I am always paranoid. I see people with their dogs off the leash, following them perfectly and never barking and I get down on myself. So in my mind, she's a bad dog. When in reality, it's partially her breed, partially her personality, and partially me not being a good trainer.

    LOL! You didn't offend me at all. Sorry if you thought that's what my response implied. Big Smile

  • Looks fun. Add Toby to the 'bag dog' list :) I wish we could, but I don't think he would do well.
    Another old nestie with a new name.
  • LOL at the "bad dogs". Some dogs are just people dogs and not dog dogs. I've learned to accept that about Clancy!

  • My dogs are definitely people dogs and not dog dogs at all. Doesn't make them bad, that's common with a ton of breeds!

    This is totally Cabela and Juno.  The love people but are not fans of other dogs.  Cabela just does not do well with others dogs or really in any situation where there are tons of people.  DH always wants to take her to things like the spring parade downtown since that is what he did with his last dog but I say no since I know she will not do well in those situations and I don't want to put her into a situation where she is not comfortable.  I think it has to do with her breed since we tried to expose her to both different people/dogs as a puppy.
