On Macon Dog Park

I didn't actually make it to the dog park. I made it about halfway across the park before it started raining and lightening, and on my way back from that, it rained so hard that my backpack and clothes were absolutely soaked. It wasn't a great experience.

But I did learn two things about the dog park. The first thing that I learned is that dog parks are a great place for communities to get together. People who love dogs get to see one another and talk to one another, and it brings a certain kind of superness to a community. I can get behind that.

I also learned that dogs can get the parvo virus there, which means that you shouldn't bring puppies to dog parks. Dr. Rood said that it would "basically be a death sentence." Luckily, I don't own dogs, so that isn't a big issue for me. But people should know.
