Transcript

SPEAKER_03 0:04

Welcome back to another edition of the Dog Park Chronicle. Hello, this is Larry, and this recording of Winter at the Dog Park was actually recorded during a lull in a very forgettable winter. It was only two weeks later that we had the blizzard of 26. Enjoy.

SPEAKER_02 0:42

Okay, we're gonna discuss how it's been around the dark park. We need more podcasts, Larry says. How was it? Uh coming to the dark park this winter.

SPEAKER_05 1:01

It was good.

SPEAKER_00 1:03

Oh you have to do everybody.

SPEAKER_02 1:06

Everybody, all of us. How did you find it coming to the park?

SPEAKER_05 1:13

Yeah, so I'm gonna answer that one.

SPEAKER_00 1:19

David's gonna edit this. Um it's been difficult. It's not as nice as it's been, but it makes up for all those years that we had beautiful winter. So I guess once in a while you gotta live with it. But once we get here, it's fine. Just bundle up. Dogs are running around or bundled up.

SPEAKER_05 1:47

Considering considering the weather, attendance has been pretty good. And when the sun comes out, attendance is a lot of people.

SPEAKER_01 1:54

Yeah, the parking lot was full today and yesterday.

SPEAKER_05 1:57

I mean, it was it's been rough with the heavy snowfalls we've had for a couple days.

SPEAKER_01 2:02

And shoveling.

SPEAKER_02 2:04

Yeah, we all tried even with the broken handle shovel.

SPEAKER_03 2:08

And one of the highlights is Larry hasn't been around, so however, I've noticed that when I've been here, the quality of the baked goods has been over the top. The variety, the quality, superb. Had I known that, I wouldn't have been going away these previous years.

SPEAKER_04 2:33

You know, and it's just so wonderful that your mother drops you off in picture.

SPEAKER_03 2:41

Mommy drives me. The price we pay when we're stuck here over the winter.

SPEAKER_02 2:48

Wow, but the dogs love it. Yes. The dogs have such fun in the snow.

SPEAKER_05 2:53

The dogs are happy.

SPEAKER_02 2:58

That would be mine. They all sit in the background and I'm gonna get it.

SPEAKER_00 3:02

And they they bounce and they run and they dig and they roll.

SPEAKER_05 3:05

They're happy. Dogs are happier in cold weather than they are in the summertime. That's just a lot of people.

SPEAKER_00 3:11

Apparently, we'll be able to see how many balls have been lost in the snow.

SPEAKER_02 3:17

Oh, that's gonna be bad.

unknown 3:21

Spring's gonna be.

SPEAKER_02 3:22

It's never been like this here. But it's this long. No, and it's dangerous to try to go get the poops in the rusty snow. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 3:39

So does the cold preserve the poop, or does it turn to like mud seasons? We're gonna find out.

SPEAKER_05 3:48

Like an archaeologist.

SPEAKER_03 3:51

So we won't be able to identify.

SPEAKER_04 3:56

We're all gonna go south! Check it out.

SPEAKER_03 3:59

So I've noticed the dogs show up better in the snow.

SPEAKER_01 4:04

That's right.

SPEAKER_03 4:04

Like, man, are over here? I mean, that's a nice contrast. A nice contrast.

SPEAKER_02 4:11

I lose bow in the snow. Thank goodness. I know. I lose bow when I don't have a coat on.

SPEAKER_04 4:24

Good boy.

SPEAKER_02 4:25

So we're supposed to get maybe two more inches tonight. Oh, great. And it might turn to rain.

SPEAKER_05 4:34

I'm done. I want it gone. I want it gone.

SPEAKER_03 4:38

Oh, we can all blame groundhog for this.

SPEAKER_00 4:42

Yeah, he's six more we're gonna do. Don't shoot the messenger. The groundhog.

SPEAKER_03 4:47

It's why I don't like groundhogs.

SPEAKER_00 4:53

It's part of American lore. You're gonna love it.

SPEAKER_03 4:56

Six more weeks of this stuff.

SPEAKER_02 4:59

Oh, I would like to thank the town of Brewster DPW for plowing out the parking lot and not closing the park one day last month.

SPEAKER_04 5:12

Yep. They did a good job. They did a good job, Brewster.

SPEAKER_02 5:17

Oh, I think they did come one morning and shovel some more of that.

SPEAKER_00 5:25

Right.

SPEAKER_02 5:25

That was yeah.

SPEAKER_00 5:26

Peter.

SPEAKER_02 5:27

Why don't they come along with the snowblower? Thank you, Peter. Thank you, Peter. Why not a snowblower? Peter's in New Jersey.

SPEAKER_03 5:33

SPEAKER_02 5:35

You know, the slam thrower. Sleepflower.

SPEAKER_00 5:42

The equipment is all over there. We can just break in and get stuff.

SPEAKER_03 5:46

I mean we pay them.

SPEAKER_05 5:47

I wonder if that's the fountain's still working. You know? I see you can't get to it in the snow. No, the water fountain. Because no one ever saw it.

SPEAKER_02 5:54

The outside one?

SPEAKER_05 5:55

Yeah, you can't get to it. It's surrounded with a foot by a foot of snow.

SPEAKER_02 6:00

Whoever thought it would be a foot of snow around here lasting that long.

SPEAKER_05 6:04

I know. Usually it comes and goes.

SPEAKER_03 6:06

Yeah. Unfortunately, there still is winter golf. Because the cape wouldn't be the cape. Winter golf.

SPEAKER_02 6:13

Oh, where do you think they're playing winter golf? What the heck are we playing? Somewhere playing golf now. No.

SPEAKER_00 6:18

Bill was just telling me how they all got together and they're complaining. And asking so what are you doing all day? You can't play golf.

SPEAKER_05 6:23

I can't play golf. This might be the only thing. You have it through the snow. You can't see it. It's done. And besides, your golf ball would get lost. Your golf ball's gone.

SPEAKER_04 6:30

You get the hot pink of the lime green or the royal blue one. No, it'll sink into the snow.

SPEAKER_05 6:36

You can't play golf in this.

SPEAKER_04 6:37
