Looking for dog parks in eastern Iowa
I am on a mission to find all the doggy parks in the eastern Iowa tourism region of the state. Bruno, my favorite K9, loves to go to these places and play with other people and dogs. Bruno is a medium sized English Sheppard, very social and very friendly but she wears me out too quickly. She loves to play what I call “stomp and chase” where she looks directly out you, stomps both of her front feet at the same time, and takes off running expecting to be chased. She then stops to let you catch up and if she sees you stop then she chases you. She actually learned this game when she was a puppy and I took her with me to visit a neighbor who had a cat. In the process of sniffing each other in the usual pet greeting way, Bruno stomped and the cat ran. About half way through the yard the cat decided that it had enough and came to dead stop. It stared at Bruno and turned around and started chasing her. It was Bruno’s favorite game after that. By the way, I know Bruno isn’t the normal name for a female, but that is a story for another time.
