In Desert Diamond Dog Park, the stakes are low, the drama is high, and opposites attract like cards on the table.

The gates are closed. The drama is not.

Welcome to Desert Diamond

Longtime regulars guard their turf.
Newcomers disrupt the balance just by showing up.

Influence is earned.
Reputations are fragile.
Nobody shows their full hand.

Every dog has a role.
Every owner thinks they’re in charge.

Clarissa’s doormat of a husband for more than fifty years. Sometimes a peacemaker, always a yes-man and gopher, careful with his words and rarely honest when they conflict with hers.
