55Ruger and Indy had so much fun today! Fields to run in, woods to explore, and plenty of water to splash around in and cool off. They instantly made themselves at home and started playing and chasing each other. If you love to hike with your dog, you will love it! Remember your bug spray (you're in the woods!) and be prepared for some mud (as far as my boys are concerned, the more mud the better!) so bring your towels. This is a beautiful, special place and we can't wait to go back. Sandy provided little flags and ribbons to guide or walk to the creek, and also dog bowls and a hose which came in very handy for washing off. She communicated with us perfectly and we had a blast! Thanks, Sandy! The day we went, the air quality was very hazy because of the Canadian wildfires, so the pictures don't really do it justice. But you can see the big doggie smiles! Michele P.
