| I was surprised that there was no puppy play area too. However, I should say that I don't know if this "no-puppy-play-zone" was a club policy or just the preference of the two individuals I saw. Neither person allowed their puppy to come anywhere near the other (both puppies were about 4 to 5 months old - one male and one female) even though both individuals obviously knew eachother and spent some time talking to eachother. No one else had a puppy there besides me and it was clear that they didn't want anything to do with my puppy. It didn't bother me too much, though. Maybe they weren't sure if I was an idiot or not and they didn't want my puppy mauling their puppies. I really only felt bad for my boy. He is such a happy, outgoing puppy and he leapt and barked at the other puppies trying to get them to play with him (it was pretty funny watching him hop around and stick his butt in the air). After it was clear that he wasn't going to get them to play, he resigned himself to soliciting pets and attention from anyone who was close enough for him to use his charm on. I was very proud of my boy. He was confident, calm and friendly, and I think he really had a good time.  |
