The results are in. No surprise, our exceptionally smart, new puppy is a labradoodle!
We’re fostering to adopt this playmate for Bull. Thank you to The Furry Farm Rescue for making this happen!

Hi folks, this is Ricky here at Dawn to Dusk Doggy Domain parks.
Every year I want to produce a YouTube video of the parks for our YouTube channel. It is convenient for me to work on these videos during the winter months because Carol puts most of the maintenance and development projects into hibernation. Shhhh, They’re sleeping.

PLEASE SEND US YOUR BEST 2023 PHOTOS OF YOUR PETS USING ANY OF OUR PARKS ! We will attempt to put these photos in a montage of last years visiting PETS.

 We have also been attempting to create a theme song for the parks and are happy with the way that has been developing. It has been a path of discovery for me working with music. The music key, instrument tone, and the pitch of the notes are the greatest challenges I am having. I know that’s everything about music. Turns out I hear D flat major notes the best and everything else, I seem to hear a little off pitch. So the music might not be everyone taste but I know your photos will be the ultimate attraction.

Pleasetext your photos (to be used on Facebook and YouTube) to Carol’s phone number 509-926-0050. Remember,we want to use your best pet photos while in our parks during 2023 along with the pets name.
FYI, Carol, may not know what all these photos are for when you send them to her phone so say in your text that these are for
THE 2023, “ I GOT A KINGDOM “ VIDEO.

Thank you, for adding to the fun.
rick

Ps, my time frame is to have the video complete by the end of January.

Since it gets dark so early, we’re trying to decide if we need to keep the spots open after dark this winter. What do you think?

Getting ready for our 5,000th visitor to our parks. (Currently at 4969 Past Reservations.) It's been a crazy two years! When we started this adventure we never imagined the need for private dog parks within our community.

Good Luck,
Carol & Rick

Trail crew. Top Dog Vistas

09/06/2023

A year in the making, our new Dawn to Dusk Top Dog Vistas Sniffspot is finally enclosed. Hike on leash up a 300 foot long trail from the parking lot to the gate and then your dog has 4 acres of completely fenced field with trees, brush and trails to Run, Dig, Sniff and Explore, while you can enjoy the awesome views. This spot is not for everyone as the views come at a price, but once up the steep hill it's relatively flat with plenty of rest areas.

In celebration of finally finishing the fence, all reservations booked in September will be $3 per hour for the first dog, and 1/2 off for each additional dog. We're looking forward to seeing you!

Working on the last leg (700 feet) of the fencing for Dawn to Dusk Top Dog Vistas. We will be posting more as we get closer to completion. Ricky is planning some Vista Games to promote the new park.

Hello, Doggy People, This is Rick. I would like to put a water feature into the Doggy Challenge Park this summer, and I need some ideas!!!!  The water and power, that would be needed, will come from the Visitor Center close by. Please paw me some ideas! Thank you. Rick

They didn’t want to help me pull thistles, but they do like to trim the rose bushes.

In anticipation of Winter followed by Spring thaw and mud, we have hay ready to spread! Makes for great puppy parkour in the meantime!

07/29/2022

We are so excited! We finally closed on 6 acres of the hill adjacent to our property. This is the future home of our newest Sniffspot.com private dog park, Dawn to Dusk Top Dog Vistas.
It will have an interpretive trail with views from Mt. Spokane to the North and Steptoe Butte to the South. Not for the faint hearted as it is a serious climb but so worth it.

Great explanation on the benefits of Sniffing.

We are putting a privacy screen up on the Doggy Domain side of the parking lot hoping to minimize interaction between all of our loving barkers.

Rick has spread a bale of hay over in the Doggy Challenge park on the slick clay areas. Walk safely!

If more mowed paths are needed in the Domain, let us know. Rick will be mowing a large area in the bottom for the dogs that love to race, like the greyhounds!

Thank you for your reviews and the suggestions helping us improve the park that we love.

What should we name this obstacle in the new Dawn to Dusk Doggy Challenge park? It's a bridge over a doggy tunnel.

I was looking out my window at our dog park and wishing for Spring to arrive. I then started looking through photos that our visitors have posted on the Sniffspot site, sniffspot.com/listings/mica-wa/dawn-to-dusk-doggy-domain-10483 , and realized that the dogs don't seem to mind the cold and snow. I feel so blessed to be able to provide this safe place for dogs to be dogs. And, grateful to their people who have documented their fun for me to view.
Come on Spring - I have more projects to do!
