Today we are taking part in Finn and Charley and Gizmo's Park Day. We don't live close enough to a park to walk there, so we decided to show you the trail near our home. We used to walk here all the time, but Mom says there are too many bikers with no manners, and joggers who run with their dogs off leash. Oh well, she was nice enough to take us there today so we could be a part of the fun.
We do our walks two at a time - that way we are sure Mom is getting plenty of exercise. If we do our regular daily walk, between the four of us we get her to clock about 3.4 miles. And sometimes we do it twice a day.
Phantom and Ciara got to walk first.
|
Look, Phantom. Those sticks would be just great for Goose. |
|
Hmmm, some other furry has been here just a few minutes ago. |
|
I wonder if it was a bunny and he escaped over to those woods. |
|
Checking out some more sniffs before crossing the Trippy Trap Bridge. |
|
Trying to give Mom the obligatory posed shot. |
|
Which way should we go now? |
|
Oh, that darn string - I could have so much more fun if I were free! |
|
Mom says this is the closest we can get to the creek down there. |
|
Nope, not looking at you, Mom - you didn't bring any treats. |
|
I will pose for you Mom, I KNOW you will reward me well when we get home. |
|
That creek looks pretty yucky to me. |
And now on to the second part of our day on the trail with Lightning and Thunder.
|
Careful, Thunder, you never know what lurks down there. |
|
Oh well, if you think there is a rabbit down there, I guess I can get closer. |
|
Wait a minute - I heard a very strange noise! Alert!!! |
|
Checking out the same post as Ciara did. But WHERE is Lightning? |
|
Way over here - you don't think I am going anywhere near that post - it is NEW to me and scary! |
|
No way, Mom, don't make me go there. |
|
That's silly, Lightning. You can read all the local dog news right here. |
|
Thunder, let's go - I want to see what is on the other side of the bridge. |
|
Well, maybe I really don't want to go there - let's turn around. |
|
Sheesh, that Lightning really can be such a silly boy. |
|
Alert! Alert! Biker approaching - gotta get way back! |
|
See, I told you we had to stay back, bikes are scary! |
|
OK, let's try going over the bridge again. |
|
Nope, not looking at you, Mom - no treats, no looks:) |
|
Two happy boys wishing they could go down that path to the creek. |
We hope you enjoyed seeing some of the sights along the trail. The four of us are all very happy to be home - WHY???? You guessed it - Mom has TREATS!!!
Woos - Phantom, Thunder, Ciara, and Lightning

Great walk... have you seen a Rabbit? Can you send me this post? Think it smells interesting and it has all the news of the doggy-world :o)
ReplyDeleteYou look stunning all together in that last shot~ And thanks for showing us your path! Lightning, you must learn to be brave!
ReplyDeleteWoofs,

It's always great to get a chance to walk around the neighbourhood and being OUTSIDE of the house too. You guys seem to have a perfect outing EXCEPT the fact that your mom didn't bring your treats with her. I think she should remember TREATS make things work if she wants to get better pictures of you guys next time.

What a grreat hike! Phantom and Thunder, I have to say you have some grreat posing skills. Bravo! It's impawtant to be able to trust your human to reward you with treats later for a pose now.
ReplyDeleteOh that is just terrific. We loved going with you on your walks. Lightning, you are too silly but nothing is going to get past you. We just love those smiley faces at the end. Well done. Take care.
ReplyDeleteOh that was lovely, thanks for sharing! And we're glad you got treats at the end too. ;)
ReplyDeleteLove your walk in the park, what an exciting place. You really look like you are enjoying yourselves.

Would you look at that pile of STICKS!!! Did you bring any home? I love your trail, but I would have insisted on going to the creek. What a lovely sunny day and great for a walk. Happy Park Day!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,

Your park day looks like a lot of fun! Good job of holding out on looking at the camera until there's treats! Our mom is still amazed at how you all sit so nice in the last photo treats or not. How long does it take to get you all into position? :)
ReplyDeleteNot a thing wrong with substituting your walk ... it is like a stroll in the Park after all. RIGHT?
ReplyDeletePeeS WE echoed your words to BERT about letting us comment to him.

I'm surprised that Lightning would walk across the bridge. He's very alert looking.
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining us in Park Day...It's lovely to meet all you Woos today :) Looks like you have a busy park with lots of really good smells...I'm with you all...No treats = no smiling photo ops...I get paid for posing!
ReplyDeleteWow, what a pretty park! Looks like your weather was very nice and I bet that bridge was fun to cross. :)

ReplyDeleteWell, treat time is the best part of a walk! Happy Friday, furriends!
ReplyDeleteHowdy Woos, great walk you all had. Hehehe we had to laugh though when you wouldn't look at your mum without the treats. Our cousin Tyler does the same thing! Gee you four are just gorgeous. We're a bit green with jelly cause mum always squeees when you are together. Take care mates. No worries, and love, Stella and Rory
ReplyDeleteThat's a great place to walk..even if it isn't a Park as such. Loads to sniff. We're laughin' at Lightning. We've each had our worries going over bridges--but we got over it!
ReplyDeleteXXXOOO Daisy, Bella & Roxy

ReplyDeleteWhat a fun day! And, don't worry Lightning, Lena is afraid of everything too. She actually HATES going for walks!
