St. George Dog Park

Even puppies need a little vacation! Since we were stuck staying close to home in case I needed to be in rehearsal, we looked for an off-leash dog park where the puppies could get some exercise. There aren't any in Cedar City, but there is one in St. George - about 40 minutes away. So we hopped in the car.

The bank we passed driving into the city said the temperature in St. George was 108 degrees (yeah, but it's a dry heat... like a blow torch to the face!)

The park was nothing like our beautiful Grandville Dog park in Milwaukee, but an acre or so of fenced grass with lots of smells to sniff and a wading pool in case it just got too hot! The puppies had a great time. There were even a few other dogs braving the heat. The big dogs had little interest in our two mutts, but once they left, a family with three little dogs arrived, so we moved to the little-dog half of the park and the running, barking and sniffing started all over again.

Once they crashed in the grass and Mojo in particular, looked like he'd had all the fun (and heat) that they could handle, we loaded the pups BACK in the car and headed back to Cedar City. All in all, a lovely day and we were rewarded with two very sleepy puppies when we got home.
