All this talk about fun to do with the kids, but what about FIDO?

Did you know there are 14 dog parks in Orange County?

Each year cities add space for Fido and his friends to play, free of leashes. Now take the kids and Fido and go have some fun. don't forget the camera!

The Register has mapped municipal dog parks across the county. Visitors can send us photos from their dog-park experiences and we'll add them to the map.

E-mail photos and some details to Pets Editor Samantha Gowen at sgowen@ocregister.com. Please include "dog park" in the subject line.
