For more days than anyone could count, Terry Frest added sweetness to the afternoons at the Magnuson Park Off-Leash Area. From the moment he arrived with his dogs -- Rudy, Susie and Franz -- and a bag of dog treats, he was surrounded by adoring furry fans.

Over the course of the next six days, folks who love and use off-leash-areas in Seattle have a chance to communicate their passion and good ideas to the people in charge at Seattle Parks and Recreation.

It's beginning to look a lot like dog-park season. Warmer, drier,
longer days inspire leisurely play dates in leash-free frolic zones
around town.

I spent my Monday romping with my off-leash dogs in five area dog parks I've never hit before--Grandview in Sea-Tac, Dr. Jose Rizal on Beacon Hill, Plymouth Pillars on Capitol Hill, Westcrest in White Center, and I-5 Colonnade in Eastlake. The I-5 Colonnade--one of the city's two newest dog parks--stopped me in my tracks.

It's rubber-boot, black-tennis-balls, hog-fuel season at the dog park.
Heavy rains have created slime fields and muddy walkways only a dog
could love. Some stewards are getting proactive by spreading wood chips
to make the shoe-sucking sludge a little more navigable. (If you're
curious, I was, wood chips are called hog fuel after the wood grinding
machines known as "hogs.")
