My husband and I walked this afternoon at Glasgow Park - along with hundreds of others - and we've never seen so many people and dogs at the park at one time. (News Journal photographer Fred Comegys grabbed the photo above this afternoon.)
"It's a bunch of people," one little girl told her mom. "And a bunch of dogs."
She was so right. Among the dogs we saw were a feisty Boston terrier, a gorgeous German shepherd, two stunning Alaskan malamutes (who we overheard the owner say had hauled a sled during the recent snow), a cute puggle, too many beagles to count, a Labradoodle (on the Obama family's short list), golden retrievers, a too-tough Pomeranian, plenty of friendly and energetic Bichon Frises, and an intriguing dog, which looked to be a cross between a Labrador and a Great Dane.
I just checked online and there is a Labradane. The one we saw was a gloriously big dog with that great, smooth Labrador coat.
Which leads me to this: What's the most intriguing or mystifying designer breed you've seen? If you have a designer dog you want others to see, e-mail a photo to me at pets@delawareonline.com, and I'll feature it here.

Why mine, of course. A long-haired dachsund-looking dog with long legs and big, bushy tail. She's a beauty.
Thre are a lot of irrisponsible pet owners who walk their dogs at Glasgow Park. There is one woman who never has her 2 small dogs leashed. Another woman was walking 3 large dogs one day, none of them leashed. I've talked to the one woman and she acts as if she's done nothing wrong. There are also many owner who do not clean up their pet's poop. I don't understand why some people feel they don't have to follow the rules.
Oh, looks like fun! Wish I was there. Mr. Puggle
