MY new Trail

We try to do the rounds of all MY parks as often as we can - it is tough dogervising over so many but I have excellent staff to keep them running. Anyhoo - the other day we went to visit my Lake Frierson Park and noticed they have put in a brand new trail which I of coarse have named the Reilly Cowspotdog Trail and which I actually suggested quite loudly to the park attendant when we called in to get a map of the new trail. We begin with some tree sniffing then off  through the gates we went. Now there are two paths on this trail - the first really wide one goes up through the woods and it is quite steep - nothing four paws couldn't handle - not sure about Mom's old knees but she battled onward anyway.
Do we smell tree rats here
Hurry Up Mom!














Now because this area is so thickly wooded we had lots fun scaring the beezeebeezes out of the tree rats (squirrels) and even spooked a couple of deer! Mom says she has never seen Dweeb move so fast as when he spots a squirrel - he really goes crazy after those little buggers. Mom also hopes we never scare some poor old skunk cause she says she will make us walk home if we do!
SQUIRREL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You go in there - no you go in there !














When we finally reached the top of the hill we stared coming back down and this is where it got really pretty - it was a much narrower path and followed right along the lakes edge. Mom was super happy when we came across this little bridge (for some reason she loves bridges - we think she was a troll in  a past life)
Hope there isn't any trolls underneath this bridge
The toll to cross is a photo ?????














We ended our walk with a stroll along the lake edge and even sat for ages under the shade of a big old tree. It was so quiet - because as usual we were the only ones there. Around here people only go to the parks on weekends - during the week when we like to go we have the whole place to ourselves which means we get to use our invisible leads! And see the color of the lake in the picture - it is mud brown. Lake Frierson is ALWAYS mud brown color as it was built on reclaimed rice fields which have a clay bottom that always makes the water muddy.
Relaxing in the shade - waiting for treats
Reilly - there's water under there !

  3. We weren't sure you'd be going for a walk after that LAST adventure! Glad your mum recovered and you're out exploring again.

    So Dweeb, we mean Denny chases tree rats. That's great. We thought he might be afraid of them...

  9. Perhaps they can install a sign with your names on it and the mayor can do a ribbon cutting on that bridge?

  16. Our parks are pretty empty on the weekdays too. We try to avoid going anywhere on weekends because of all the humans. Mom doesn't like crowds with or without dogs.

  21. Yikes! It sounds like the sign maker didn't pass measurement class in school. It does look like a beautiful walk, though! I bet you had sore feets after.
