I know there are some dog parks around, though I don’t know where, precisely. These are, in my understanding, fenced places where you can actually (gasp!) let your dog off the leash to play and fetch and so on.

I think that it would be fun to let the Doper’s Dogs socialize as well… anyone in the MAD area have dogs and think this could happen?

I don’t think that a mass dog walk would work for us, personally… my Sparky is just too excitable and Sparky + leash + other dogs means everyone gets clotheslined and we spend 20 minute untying the dogs. On the other hand, a mess of frizbees and tennis balls and the company of canines would be something that he’d really groove on.
