This summer, Grover (my dog) and I went to the dog beach along with my best friend and her dog, Rufus. It was here at Longview Lake where, I am positive, both Grover and Rufus had the best day of their dog lives.
It was a beautiful sunny day (and I mistakenly wore white - do not do this if you visit because the mucky muddy dog-tracked beaches will soil whatever white you have on).
Every kind of dog you can imagine in existence was there, large or small, young and old, all unleashed and roving around, sniffing each other, playing fetch, running amok. It was so entertaining to see my dog, who doesn't get enough interaction with other dogs being the only pet I have, make new friends and learn better animal social skills (He was much better to take on walks after this visit, having acclimated himself to being in the presence of other dogs.)
If you have a small dog, do not be afraid to take him here. There were tons of them running around together, splashing in the water, and getting along with the larger dogs. The dog owners were all in such a friendly mood themselves, talking it up together and laughing at the antics of theirs and other dogs in the mix.
It was fascinating to see the networking of these animals in action. There were obvious "pack leaders" taking charge of the less dominant group of dogs behind them following close at heel. I was also relieved at the settings enclosed surroundings, ensuring the dogs wouldn't wander off and get themselves permanently lost, because the beach's shrubbery maintain the boundaries well.
I am a definite fan of this park, for the dog beach, and for the many other recreations available here, like camping and boating. Although I have not yet taken part in the latter, after my first visit with Grover, I am sure to be back soon.
