In the year since the opening of the Los Altos Hills Dog Park, various pieces of furniture have been added to enhance its attraction for visitors.. Two park benches have been donated for the enjoyment of the human visitors, and recently the Los Altos Hills County Fire District donated a Fire Hydrant for the social well-being and enjoyment of the canine visitors. Today was the official inauguration of the latter.

The first dogs arrive to explore the territory and become acquainted with each other.

First we have time for a little play

While the first dog realizes the potential and slips in to leave his mark.

The Ridgeback is on to his nefarious tricks

.and leaves his mark as well

The Dalmation (whose background is with Fire Department matters) arrives to evaluate the situation.

You know - I'm a Dalmation and this is my adopted habitat

Have some respect where Dalmations and Fire Hydrants are concerned

The Labrador Retriever meanwhile is concerned with more important matters, like where the heck did that tennis ball go?

Yes it's me! The Dalmation...

After a dog has been chasing around with visitors, it's good to just relax for a while.
