Who would be interested in Halloween "Barkoween" photos? Your dog in "The Spirit 🧙‍♀️👻💀👺" and perhaps both of you as a couple? Couples are NOT required. It would be either Saturday Oct 26th or Sunday 27th (maybe both? depending on the interest) from say 2 to 4pm at Worthington Dog Park? No costs just having some fun 🎃. I would be taking the pics. Please leave a comment!!!

Autumn Equinox starts Sept. 22, at 8:44 a.m.!! It's one of two days when the sun is directly above the Equator, essentially dividing night and day into equal portions. Cooler days, crisper nights and changing leaves 🍂 Only downside for us folks with dogs is that daylight is getting shorter. 🙁 Get out and enjoy while you can and have a great Autumn 🐾🐾

National Dog Day 🐾🐾Worthington Dog Park celebrates years of loving their dogs! Did you know that over 70% of the dogs that come here are rescued dogs! No longer distressed or abandoned but instead loved and 4-ever home. Adopt & Save A Life 🥰

DO YOU SPEAK DOG? Just like no two people are alike no two dogs are alike. Listen to what your dog is telling you. Not all dogs are "dog park dogs"and for many their preferences change as they get older. Some dogs 'live' to go to the park! WOOF 🐾 Sometimes the fun is better spent taking walks and playing with You! 🐾🥰 Listen to your dog. Everyone is unique and that is what makes All of Us Special ❤️

It’s 4:28 and feels like 105 degrees 🥵

𝐂𝐨𝐨𝐥 𝐓𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐬 𝐅𝐨𝐫 𝐇𝐨𝐭 𝐃𝐨𝐠𝐬!
Heatwave for the next couple of days is in full force and those hot days affect your pets as much or more than you. Chilled or frozen dog treats are a great surprise for your dog.
Here are some ideas for healthy, cold treats your dog will love:
Doggie "Ice Cream" - real ice cream is not healthy for dogs. The excess dairy can cause GI upset, plus there is too much sugar making it too easy to mess up their sugar levels. However, you can make an easy dog friendly version at home:
𝗕𝗔𝗡𝗔𝗡𝗔/ 𝗣𝗘𝗔𝗡𝗨𝗧 𝗕𝗨𝗧𝗧𝗘𝗥 𝗗𝗘𝗟𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧! You will need:
1 ripe banana
8 ounces of plain yogurt (low-fat or non-fat, Greek yogurt is ideal)
1 tablespoon peanut butter (creamy is best)
Mix ingredients in blender/ pour into small plastic containers and freeze overnight. Leave in container and serve to your dog - they will last longer if you don't pop them out of the container. You can mix in diced carrots, apples, etc for variety.
𝗣𝗨𝗣𝗣𝗬 𝗜𝗖𝗘 𝗣𝗢𝗣𝗦 - Fast and easy treat using one ingredient. You will need:
Chicken or beef broth (fat-free, low-sodium, no onion ingredients)
Freeze overnight in ice cube trays or mini-muffin pans. You can feed a few alone as treats or place on top of kibble or in a water bowl to enhance flavor. Again, you can add diced carrots, apples, etc for variety.
Stay cool and keep your dog out of the heat!
