Dog Park Diplomat Mugs

"There's nothing like dog-walking for making new friends...."

Growl - Hiss Conflict Resolution Meeting

Now, let's not be hasty! They may look the same, but we are both duty bound to fetch our own master's ball...

"Yeah, he's cute but don't approach him. He's a service human."

People who let their big dogs run around leash free and then say things like. . .

"I'm new here. How much do we leave for a tip?"

Canine Scentipede

'We can't go on meeting like this'.

'Rover isn't any good at catching frisbees. You've heard of stone hands?...he's got a stone mouth.'

"Look, he just wants to apologize for scaring the daylights out of you yesterday. ... Mr. Squirrel? ..."

"A little help, please."

"This is so fun - I've been wagging my tail so much my cheeks hurt!"

"Hey, that's disgusting! You can't leave that on the footpath: Make sure your master comes and picks it up!"

"Your credentials are impressive, Carter but... quite frankly, Mr. Biggles doesn't seem to like you."

'The vet said that getting spayed might hurt a little. But having nine puppies hurt a little, too.'

"Humans are strange."

"Cheers mate, you've done me a solid."

"Are you happy with your current ball?"

Upper East Side Dog Park

Playground reputation.

"Take a right at Rocky's fire hydrant. A left at Duke's bench and the dog part will be one block past buddy's tree."

"Sorry - my dog is at the vet. This one is a loaner."

"I yip, therefore I am."

'Our basic package is no frills, no chew toys, no extra Kibbles, and narry a pat on the head from management...'

"Honestly, I prefer stick."

"The vet made me wear this, and I can't lick my balls...uh...could I lick yours for awhile, Rex?"

"Yeah, I've put on a lot of weight, but my master's favourite command is "sit, sit, sit!" I barely ever get to exercise..."

"Three yummies, a pat on the head, and a 'Good doggy.' That's my client's final offer."

'I've been depressed ever since PBS said pigs are smarter than dogs!'

"I could have gotten to the top . . . but I wasted all my time in the park."

"Here's another fine mess you've gotten us into."
