Happy Trails

Arrrrrroooooooooooo.   We're off on another adventure!

I just love to ride in the Zoom-zoom car.  

Warning: dangerous animals in da park.

Dis time we're going to the new Nature Park.

Mom & Aunty D were a bit concerned when the 1st sign dat dey saw warned of snakes and gators.   Oh my.

After we parked da car we looked at the trail map and decided not to go on the Copperhead Trail or on the Gator Trail.

I wanted to go on the Dogwood Trail but Mom thought dat the Live Oak Trail was better (less dangerous).


So off we went.








I got right down to business and dropped some peemail on the 1st post dat I saw.

Peemail post.

We stopped at the Scenic Overlook to look at the river.

I don't see any gators.

Swampy riverbed.

Then we were off again.













We walked really fast on the trail cuz Mom was a bit anxious about the possibility of seeing snakes.

Thru the wood and down da hill we go...

I keep my ears up da whole way.

I only freaked out once (when Mom wanted to look at the boat ramp).   It was a metal ramp and I put my brakes on.   I was NOT going down dat metal ramp.  No way.

I had a grrrrrrrreat time checkin out all the new smells.Just don't make me go down a metal boat ramp and I'm a happy pup.

Pees….. Mom says dat we not be going back to the new Nature Park.  She says dat walks on the beach are more to her liking.  No copperheads on the beach.

Tuesday Treats - 'Premium' Yummmmy Fun

Look what I won for pawticipating in Park Day 2.0!

Now I know dat it was awhile ago… but the postman went to the wrong address so it had to get forward to me.
Then, Mom put it away, cuz we had company and guess what?  Today, when she was cleaning for our new company… she found it again.   Sometimes Mom is a bit clueless, but I still luv her.

I wonder what's in my prize package.

I smell somethin good!

 Arrrrrrrrrrroooooooooooooooooo!
It's premium Kong Treats.  

*************************************

I got me some Kong Dental Treats, 

Kong Chewy Buddies and Kong Chewy Mini Treats. 

*************************************

Oh, oh, oh….wait just a minute.   Let me get my favorite Kong toy.

Mom…. here it is.
Can we put a treat inside?

Yippy…. it fits !!!!!

Dis is even better than playing with my Kong (one of my favorite toys).  
A Kong with a treat!

Sometimes Mom puts some peanut butter in my Kong toy and I love dat… but these new premium treats are even more fun.

After I played with it for awhile, I got the dental treat out and ate it.   Dis is a great game… can we play again?   Drat… Mom says that I have to pace myself.  Doesn't she understand that puppies only have two paces…. Sleep and full-out Playin.

Thanks again to Finn and Gizmo for hosting Park Day 2.0 AND to KONG Premium Treats.   I can't wait to try all the other treats.

I Hiked for Park Day

First I'd like to thank my buddies Finn & Charley and Gizmo for co-hosting "I Hiked for Park Day".

We interrupt this postie for an emotional outburst!
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.   Did you see that dog sniffing Mollie's butt?   Grrrrrrrrrrrrr.
And why is she kissing him???????   She is my girl!    If I find him, I'm gonna bite him in the butt.

Ok, I feel better now.   So…..back to Park Day.

I hiked at Greenfield Park in Wilmington, NC and I can't wait to share my park with you.

Welcome to Greenfield Park.

This was my 1st time to Greenfield Park and . . .

. . .Yikes !!!!!!!!!

Alligators in the Park's Lake?

Yup!   We have Gators in the lake.
I thinks there is only 1, but I'm not sure.

Now . . . if you visit my Park,
 Don't Feed the Gators!

I check'd…. and No Gator today.   That's good.
Maybe he's napping.

Mom says that I should not get that close to the water and she made me get back on the path.

I did see some other really cool wildlife.

I spied me a turtle.   Do you see it?

And . .  I spied me some ducks.
Quack, quack duckies!
Watch out for that Gator, duckies.

So much to see at my park.

I hike near the lake with Mom and Aunty D.

Isn't it pawsome here?

Oh!  Oh!    What's that over there?

SQUIRREL !!!
Do you see him?   Aunty D had to hold me back
or I would've gotten him!

I also spied me some Art!

Look… we have an Art Exhibit in the park!

Anyone wanta play Hopscotch?

After we hiked for awhile, I took a break and went for ride on the swingy thingy.

Look Mom… aren't those flowers bewtaful?

Mom says they're Azalea's.

Look… flowers on the roof.

Now… guess what else we have at my park. 

Paddle boats.

And canoe boats.

Now I ask ya…. why would you wanta go boating in a lake that has Gators in it?  A least with a canoe… you have oars to protect you… but a paddle boat?    Go figure.

Thank you for visiting my park and following me on my Hike in the Park.
