The Park was strangely empty...(winter draws on?)

I work with a group of teens on Sat. mornings so afterwards I take the dogs to the Park to combine Lunch & Dog Walking. Usually we are glared at by the weekend families but today we sat in magnificent isolation as I clung to a mug of hot chocolate and the dogs kindly helped me with a Bacon Sarnie. Just me and two other GSD owners in the Park today.
Was it the sub-zero temperatures or has everyone begun their Christmas Shopping?

Probably the cold. Just bought some snow boarding wear for dog walking in, and I can now enjoy my walks in peace without people being terrified of cuddly bear Loki!

A mixture of the cold and xmas shopping the shops were packed today!!!!!!!!!

We were out walking for two hours this morning and didnt meet a single person (or dog)

after lunch we went into the city and yep! thats where everyone was

we took Missy out this afternoon, and after 10 minutes she was pulling to go back to the car!
Too cold for my wee pooch

strange you should say that me and oh and dylan and willow (our two ) were in the park along twice today , i was saying how we are alone , that the winter walks are the best .for dog walkers as the summer over run with kids ect . i love haveing it to our selves

Although I don't mind sharing the park with other dog walkers, it's great to have it to yourself, isnt it?

On contrast, the park I use was full of Gundogs this morning! Loads of Golden Retrievers and Labradors! A few Spaniels too. Don't know what was going on!

Well mine have been along the canal today....so I never really noticed as it's quiet along there anyway...although very cold Well for me, the dogs don't give a damn

was snowing this morning and charlie said lots of dogs out this morning. they where all happy playing. bet it wont be like that later on.

True - by time I got my gloves on it had turned to rain and the snow had gone
