Any excuse to get outside and do something!

I don't get my hip transplant for several months. But I've decided I will heal better from it if I can build up my physical endurance…before hand. Even though it hurts. So, starting with little steps, I decided to take, not one, not two, but three dogs to the park.

So, yeah. All three of them wanted to go to the dog park. What could I do but acquiesce?

Dog Park at Crossroads is tucked behind an ice skating rink, and is not far from the larger Cosmo Dog Park (which has a lake). So it's not usually as crowded. My main reason for going there, though, is it's a much shorter walk from the car to the doggie gate.

But even without a passel of dogs, my three enjoy being able to run.

And sniff.

My goal is to have them (and me) outside for an hour. But the older dogs get pooped in half that time, and just sit around me. Even Finley, who is still a puppy at barely a year old, eventually gets tired of sniffing. So I decided to give my Hover X1 camera, a Christmas gift, an opportunity to show off the whole park before we took off for home.
