Visit to Mills Reservation

Saturday afternoon, I had another expedition out. This time we went to Mills Reservation. This is a really pretty place with lots of hiking trails and trees. It is also a place where I was able to meet lots of other dogs and people. We took a long hike to Quarry Point. We hiked for about an hour and then I got really tired so we went back home. Here you can see a photos of me with Steve and Teresa. Steve has his own blog, Now Without Hesitation. You won't see any cute pictures of me but you will get to read some interesting posts about South Africa and the law.

This has been an exhausting weekend. In addition to my usual routine of walks, I've had these great expeditions out on Saturday. Today, I also made a trip to Brookdale Park. We walked around a bit but did not visit the dog park, I don't think I'm ready for that yet. On the way back from the park, I got really tired again, and Steve had to come and pick me up and give me a ride home. I plan to nap the rest of the afternoon so I have plenty of energy for new adventures tomorrow!

Is that an Airedale?

Yesterday was a beautiful Saturday and I went for a long walk in Montclair from the Watchung Ave train station to the Walnut Street train station where the Farmer's Market is held every Saturday during the summer and fall.  Along the way, we got to stop and meet lots of new people and dogs.  Everyone seemed to want to ask, "is that an Airedale?!?  So many people were happy to meet me and were amazed at how calm and friendly I was.  Part of the reason that I was so calm was that I was exhausted.  I'm really out of shape since I've been spending many of my days lounging around and taking it easy.  The walk was a lot of fun and good exercise and I love to meet new people and dogs!  However, I couldn't make it home without stopping to take a rest and eventually I had to get a ride home.  Here is a picture of me while we visited the farmer's market and then resting once I got back home.  Later in the day, we went for another long walk, more about that later....

When do I Get to Go on Vacation?

I've been pretty quiet these past few weeks because my person has been on vacation (paws are not very convenient for typing).  My person went to South Africa for two weeks.  She reports that there were lots of animals to see (even penguins) but none as cute as me!

Here I look pretty disgusted with being left behind but I am much happier now that she has returned.  I've been promised lots of expeditions out for this coming weekend.  I'll keep you posted.  Meanwhile, here is a picture of one of those penguins.....
