Down at the Ol' Watering Hole

My son and I just got back from taking the dogs to one of the best off-leash dog park in town -Parley's Nature Preserve. This is a very cool dog park because the park encompasses approximately 85 acres, has lots of trees and vegetation and has a great river running through it -- many places are deep enough to swim, even at this time of year (much to Rusty's delight).

There were about a million dogs there and it must have been "Border Collie Night" because we ran into about 18 different BCs.
This is one of the favorite swimming spots because it's pretty deep most of the year. (However, we avoid it in the early spring, as the run-off out of the canyon makes this a death-trap for dogs and there have been several canine (and human) fatalities in this area.)

Something smells mighty good."Throw the @#&% ball already!" (Allie has a one-track mind.)
















Shake it, baby -- shake it!

Both dogs are tired tonight and even Allie seems to be settling in. It was a good day for walkies. :)

That looks a great park, my two would love it there with all those dogs.

It is really good to see you blogging with your two. I really like your blog name and I look forward to reading more about your adventures.

Your garden looks lovely, i have a thing for Bamboo's. I think they look great in gardens. I have a few in mine too. :-)
