Dog Park Mini Dio

[tahra]

Tahra, for some reason there is a family of feral cats that is always hanging around our dog park, that's what gave me the idea. There is a lady who feeds them there, but still, of all places for cats to make a home.

Probably people who go to that (amazing) place probably like animals, so maybe they get some goodies.... So they stay...

Besides, cats are creatures of habit. I fed many strays for years - they KNOW what time they're supposed to be there. Even the ones that didn't actually stay around here all day

And.. well, some cats don't really fear dogs... I saw my first stray friend (great-grandmother of the one we had) chase a german shepherd like dog from the street - who was just minding his own business! - she had babies, you see, and was protective.

Amora, the babies mother (at home now) actually attacked the poor dogs that passed by near the babies

And Axl was going at a dog bigger than me if I had let her... <sigh>

Thanks!

It's true, dog/cat relationships are quite complicated.

What a great diorama!

I love the white shepherd in playfull position when seeing the great dane puppies,
Love the little dog in carrier bag, it looks so cute!
the dachshund sniffing the bottom of the other one, very realistic,
the dog sniffing the firehydrant, planning to pee against it?
the dog trying to get to the squirrell,
the dalmatian on the skate-board.

But seeing the dogs playing with one of the dogs fram the game.......these dogs look like our boxer cross.
I think our boxer cross would wreak havoc in such a dog park when let loose with all other dogs in a panic and people knocked off their feet as he is very friendly but a big lump of a dog.

Thank you! Yeah, there's always that one dog at the park, lol. We had a dog that loved to play with towels and socks and things with that sort of texture. So heaven help any poor dog that came wearing a sweater! She'd relentlessly chase them and try to pull it off.

Great dio!!!

I'm also surprise at the "dog park" thing! We don't have those here, but I think it's a great idea! 
Love the pic of the dog sniffing the other dog's butt! Doggy realness 100%!

Thanks Gaston! I didn't really realize dog parks weren't a thing everywhere. We have at least two of them here in my town.

Great diorama love all the different types of dogs and clearly foreseen all different types of dog behaviour I particularly like the expression of the dog peeking out of the bag and the one on the skateboard  there was a great video on Facebook other day of a cat chilling doing some skateboarding  .

Cash bag + black permanent marker = great idea.

I foresee myself with clumsy black marks on my fingers tomorrow.

As a gardener and not very neat customiser dirty hands and paint/marker pen marks etc. which don't wash off for a few days become parr the course
