Fun times were had at the Blogpaws dog park at the 2014 conference in beautiful Lake Las Vegas. Though it has been a week since we have returned, I thought it was time to dust off the camera and share a little fun times. I truly believe that a picture is worth a thousand words, maybe because I am left a little speechless. There were many times that I was so caught up with everything that I forgot to take pictures, considering the fact that I took my huge dSLR with me. Okay maybe I just got lazy and didn’t want to carry the monstrosity around with me! But I was able to take a few pictures of Riley and a few new friends at the Blogpaws dog park.
Though little Miss Riley is very dog friendly (and ferret, kitten & capybara) , playing in the Blogpaws dog park was a new and fun experience, but it seemed to get her anxiety up a bit. As you can tell she went from Shih Tzu to slobbery St. Bernard!
But things aren’t so bad when there are others around. As you can see Riley started to settle in nicely. What I loved most about the Blogpaws conference was the three dog parks. One for little dogs, one for bigger dogs and then a separate fenced park with real grass! At the big and little parks there was plenty of water, shade & toys to play with, along with very friendly care takers.
Here is our new friend Dexter from Fidose of Reality having fun playing ball! He would fetch over and over again, take a break and then was ready to go all over again.
I don’t know about Riley, but my favorite Blogpaws dog park was the one with the real grass. I had trouble keeping my flip-flops on as I love the feel of grass on my toes! We are just hoping there will be a real grass area for next years Blogpaws 2015 in Nashville!
P.S. Thank you Blogpaws for a great time Riley and I had. We can’t wait for our road trip next year

I was only able to bring my flat pets with me this time. Maybe next time?

Sorry you couldn’t make it next year… and yes we hope to meet you next year too! I’m planning our 4 day road trip already… this should be fun!!
What great photos! Mort was in the “other” dog park – I think all he saw the entire time he was at the park was toy, toy, toy, toy, throwthetoy, itsatoy, throwit, toy.
I think that is a great way to be… all the smells were a little too much for Riley… so I found if I could sneak across the yard and call her she would get some exercise.
Great photos! Looks like everyone had lots of fun!

It was a lot of fun… I just wish I would have taken more. I’ll manage my time more wisely next year 🙂
Can anyone attend these conferences?
They are blogger conventions, but I don’t know why you wouldn’t be able to attend. Next year it will be in your neck of the woods, at least closer to you anyway… Nashville! You can go to Blogpaws.com to find more information 🙂 Right now is the best time to purchase registration as it goes up the closer it gets and the conferences on that side of the country tend to sell out.
I LOVED the real grass area! I didn’t have a dog there, but I did get to hang out in the grass. 😉 It was so nice to meet you, Riley!

Lots of Woofs from Earl and I at Earl’s World!

I enjoyed watching the dogs romp in the play area. BlogPaws thought of everything. Bentley will be excited to play with other dogs since we don’t have a dog park in our area. I love the last photo of her airborne!

Love the idea of different parks.
We appreciated the real grass too but spent more time in the shady turf parks.
