The New Walk

The city has built a new park just one street over from where we live. It will one day grow up to be a sports park complete with baseball and (wretch) soccer fields. For now though, it's pretty much empty except for a pool and water park in the center, and a 1-¼ mile path around the perimeter.

Starting a few weeks ago, this has been the new walk for Angel, Jacqueline, and myself. I like it much better than the old path because you have an uninhibited view of where we live, and because for some odd reason I just find it a more relaxing place to be. I am so enamored with it in fact, that I am going to share a couple of pictures of it you today, mixed in with photo's of everyone's favorite small dog duo, of course. Unfortunately it was quite difficult trying to manage a camera and two rambunctious little dogs, so I didn't get any shots of the nice green grass they just installed. I will try to get some better pictures at a later date.

This is a portion of the walkway. It was a rather dreary day, and drizzled for most of the walk. Fortunately, I LOVE this kind of weather! This view is looking across the park towards our house. The structure to the right is the pool area. I guess they are preparing the ground for grass. That green stuff you see appeared to be wood chips that evidently are treated with something that gave them that greenish color. This is the tunnel that runs under an adjacent road. Jacqueline and Angel were curious the first time we came across it, but they were hesitant to enter. Like I said, it was difficult handling the dogs and the camera, so this is the best shot I took of Jacqueline. Note what a good doggy daddy I am; Jacqueline is wearing her favorite winter sweater.

Papa's picture came out a bit better. Although he tolerates his blue sweater, he fancy's himself as a "junkyard dog", so any chance to walk in the dirt amongst junk is quite welcomed indeed.

Be sure to check out the Carnival of the Dogs at Mickey's Musings, and the Friday Ark at The Modulator for more interesting animals.
