Quiet!* You're not from around here are you?

• The Land Before Time: The Stone of Cold Fire

I met a rather boisterous new friend today in Memorial Park; she is called Megan and she's an 8 month old Labradoodle.
Gosh did we want to go for a good long run together but the rules say we can't be off the leash in the park so we just had to be content with a walk.
Our humans spent a lot of time discussing something called a dog park but they seemed to be saying that the City of Rockport is not keen on such a facility and had recently voted 4 to 1 against creating one. I guess the parks committee doesn't count enough dog lovers amongst its' members!
