A Day at the Park

Today we went to the puppies’ new favorite place, an off-the-leash dog park near our house. It is acres and acres of paths, high grass, dense brush, and lots of other new places to explore.

Here’s Dagny running down a trail.

We brought a picnic lunch . . . which the puppies were very interested in.

Katie and the Puppies

Dagny is a sweet girl.

We also found our way to a small lake where the puppies were able to play in the water. It took Hank a little while to get on board with the new activity, but once he did, he had a blast! Here he is, spread eagle, edging his way towards the water.

We threw some sticks in to try and coax them in.
Here is Hank contemplating how one gets to the stick and if it’s worth it.

"Maybe I can reach it if I just stretch far enough." - Hank

Splash!

Once Hank jumped in, he decided that being in the water was pretty fun.

He was very proud of himself. Finally Hank can play fetch without Dagny stealing all the glory!

Speaking of, Dagny was quite interested in the goings on but not quite ready to jump in too (she is still a little terrified of the water). She fell in a couple times, which was not fun, but she liked playing in the mud! Here she is watching Hank.
