7 in Pratt's Heaven

I had a blast with Roxy, Grace, Henry, Ruby, Phoebe, Saltine and Ina this afternoon for a little hiking and swimming.  

The happy pack of 7 ready to hit the trails

Of course Gracie brought a ball along while Roxy and Saltine begin to play beside her on the trail. 

It wasn't long before we found ourselves at swimming hole #1 for a quick dip.

A hop, skip and a jump later we were enjoying some fetch at hole #2

At the last swim stop of the day Phoebe decided to venture in and get wet with Ina.

We finished our walk soaking in the sunshine in the field to play and roll in the grass a little before heading home.

The Quarry Run 6ers

We had a hot start in the park with Tucker, Maggie, Ina, Saltine, Riley and Lola to get the ball rolling today. 

Lola found her puppy friend to play with again while Saltine, Ina, Maggie and Riley say hello.

Everyone but Riley joined in for a game of fetch.

A Lazy Afternoon in the Park

I had a rather leisurely trip to the Quarry Run dog park this afternoon with Beau, Remy, Lola, Ina and Saltine. 

Here we are entering the park before a quick hike.

The sun was strong this afternoon but that didn't keep Remy from getting everyone to chase him for a couple laps.

Ina's in full stride trying to catch up to Remy.

Ina awaits patiently for Beau to return with the ball. 

Quick break with Ina, Saltine and Lola

Everyone took plenty of time to rest in the shade of the trees while Beau gets a drink of water. 

No group walk is complete without finding at least one good stick to chew on and share with friends. 

Picture Perfect Start

To kick off this week I had a fun pack of 4 at Fel's Grove on this beautiful Monday morning.

With Grace, Ina, Saltine and Roxy

We played some fetch in the field

and rolled around in the tall grass.

Seven Lucky Swimmers

I got to spend this gorgeous afternoon in Yarmouth at Pratt's Brook with Ruby, Saltine, Phoebe, Champ, Henry, Grace and Roxy. 

Here's the lucky 7 enjoying the trail before reaching the brook.

Only the good swimmers braved to chase the ball into the deep waters.

Finally some fetch in field to dry off and tucker them out.

A Quiet trip to the Quarry

It was pretty quiet when I arrived at the dog park around lunchtime for a walk with Lola and Mudbug today.

Since it was so quiet this afternoon we took the trail to the big loop out back to entertain ourselves for awhile.

They both really enjoyed themselves playing and rolling around in the high grass.
