New Park!

  By ,

Daisy was a brave sister and went to try out a new park and trail for us this weekend. Bella stayed at home because I didn’t know the area so it might have been too noisy/crowded for her to handle.  Well, I must say Daisy and I had a blast. The trail is wooded and shady and far enough away from parking lots, roads, and playgrounds that I can say Bella will be going sometime in the near future! it is also short enough we can walk it a couple of times and mom here isn’t too tired.

 

Shady and quiet.

 

I was happy with Daisy. I did need her EZ Walk harness because the squirrels were numerous and frisky (it is spring here).  She also saw her first armadillo!  She looked really really hard at it but decided it wasn’t that interesting and lost focus.  She kept her focus with me when passing people and other dogs.  We even took an unpaved nature trail that she enjoyed very much.

In this park you can rent canoes….I think Daisy wants to give it a try!  I say-never with Daisy! I’d end up in the drink for sure!

 

Can we mom? huh? Can we?

Can Bella come next time?

Yes Daisy, Bella can come next time!

I took this at a red light today. The girls and I were at a dog meetup group for 2 hours in a park. They had so much fun but Daisy decided she couldn’t wait to get home for a nap. She was laying down in my backseat.

I'll use my ear to keep the sun out of my eyes.

Coondogg-y!!

Today’s title must be said in the most southern accent you can conjure up. LOL This is a video of the girls when we went ‘hunting’ at a local park. There wasn’t a squirrel in the tree but I sure had them second guessing and looking! More on this trip later.

Last Thursday….

  By

So, last Thursday Daisy and I went to a ‘movies in the park’ event in a city near me.  I knew Bella would hate going because of the crowds and noise so she had to stay home. Don’t worry, she got lots of extra lovin’ from me!

We were very lucky to find a parking spot really close to where the movie was being held. I decided Daisy was going to have to work for her fun and packed her backpack with our drinks and snacks. I had a couple crystal light teas and popcorn for me, some water and two frozen kongs for her.  She carried her backpack like a champ even though some old man made a smart-ass remark about me making her do all the work. I have a great blanket that is water resistant nylon on one side and paw print fleece on the other to use when we go places.

So, they had live BLUEGRASS music starting about an hour before the movie. I love bluegrass music!  They also had food vendors set up selling things like burgers and kettle corn. I didn’t even go look at what they had because I brought my own!

She behaved like an angel!  She LOVED the kongs of course and laid right on the blanket to eat them. She whined a little in the middle of the movie but overall was very quiet.  The only weird thing that happened was when she saw the police horses…she went into instant predator mode!  I’m glad they were far away.  Also, the area was set up with surround sound and some of the noise scared her. She actually laid next to me trembling a bit so I gave her treats to let her know I was happy with her laying with me. She recovered fine.

We sat next to a couple who just loved her! In fact, several people just loved her that night. Not too many drop dead gorgeous coonhounds around here.

Yummy Kong!
