I guess we will have to research who Doris Leeper was because her name is on so many parks around our town. We have found another park named after her. (I guess we could be technical and say that the parks are like one continuous park but that is somewhat of a stretch.) In any case, we found another Doris Leeper park and ventured there recently. This one is more of a fishing spot with a little less shady areas and a little more waterway.
Henry cooled off in the water a bit but we did not want him to stay in there long. We saw a lot of crabs and other critters in the water making it uncomfortable for us. Of course we would not want a crab to catch hold of his tail or legs or any other part of him!
It was nice new adventure nonetheless. He walked the whole walk and got his feet wet on 2 separate occasions.He wasn't even so tuckered out when we got home! This little 13 year old was like, "Hey! Give a me a challenge here and there, won't you?!" #OneStrongPug #HenryStrong #HenryIsAGoodBoy #GoodPug
This is our 365th Caption This! If we were doing one a day, it would only be one year old but at 1 time per week, it's 52 weeks or 2 years of Caption This. This one is no different. We look forward to your captions, as we always do!
Henry had an extra special treat on his birthday this year. We snuck him onto the "just for people" beach. It was somewhat after prime hours and there were only a few people around. He really enjoyed the ocean and the hard sand. He got some extra protein, too. Yikes! There's been a lot of extra protein lately, we need to scale back now. But Henry turned 13 in style!
There is a local dog park here that was named after a dog who was a seeing eye dog. The dog's name was Seemor. (Ha! See More!) The dog park has 2 sides. One for big dogs and one for little dogs. We used to go there on occasion when all of the puggers were at a point when they could appreciate it. We had not been there in a long while. But as we considered what might be better for Henry in regards to "wandering" instead of "walking" we thought that maybe this would be a good option. We have been there 2 times recently. Both times we were the only ones there. So, that was actually pretty good. We don't necessarily want other dogs bumping into him and we are not sure how he is now in a room full of strangers.
Henry did a great there in his lonesomeness. It was actually an ideal situation. He got to sniff out a whole new area, could be off leash, not be pressured to stay on a path and we didn't have to carry him anywhere! Yay! It was a win all the way around. The second time there he even wanted to explore the big dog side. This was perfectly fine since no one else was there. We left when the mosquitoes started getting hot and heavy! Ugh! Henry had a great time, though. #HenryStrong
We recently learned that our new grandniece, Reagan, is a CAT person! She's not quite two but has shown to really love kitties even more than puppies. She has 2 dogs of her own but seems to have a preference of cats over dogs. I don't mean to say this with disgust as we have our own wonderful kitty whom we love dearly but to say that we are cat people over dog people I don't think is accurate. We are animal people. And I guess that is how Reagan is too but we know that she certainly gets a big kick out of kitties. So, we made this video for her. It's just a snippet of Cupid "talking" to Reagan. Cupid can be pretty good to have a conversation with. Seeing how she doesn't really argue or back talk you. Ha! Don't get me wrong. Sometimes she has some serious cattitude for sure, but anyone can see her sweetness in just listening to her.
