We created our own dog park!! (pics)

[Logan]

On Saturday, I mentioned to Scott that I wished so badly that we had a dog park like so many of you. Sunday, at lunch, he said that we should just make our own dog park, and suggested that we go to the baseball field at our church, block off the two little entrances and let the dogs go. So we did! Here are some pictures from our outing. Hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

Here's Murphy, bless her heart. She walked and walked!

Oh Logan, what great pics!:) Doesn't it do your heart good to see them having such fun! Retrievers were born to run and fetch!:D Or in Murphy's case, take a nice leisurely stroll!;) You know I'm that girl's #1 fan!:) And how heartwarming to see Zipper enjoying his new family; he fits right in, doesn't he! What a wonderfu idea, creating your very own doggie park! Give them all big hugs and kisses from me, Cody and Star! Love ya, friend!:)

[EssTer]

Aww! Reallly cute photos :)

[Logan]

Sandra, I knew you would love seeing Murphy! :) She couldn't be left behind and it turned out that she just walked and walked. Poor baby was exhausted after we got home! I gave her a Rimadyl, just in case, and it was probably for the best as she is quite stiff today. But she enjoyed herself, just like the others! :)

[Smilla]

Wonderful pictures! Thanks for sharing them.

We took Lefty to an open field yesterday, and let him run off-leash for the first time. He LOVED it! He'd charge toward us and then dart off in another direction. He looked so happy; that is, until he started acting like he might throw up... :eek: ...we slowed down a bit after that!

[Logan]

Oh, Smilla, I know Lefty had a big time!!! :) Just sorry you aren't closer to me so that he could have joined our party!!!! :)

[Miss Meow]

Great pics! Looks like a fun time was had by all! :)

[captain]

How gorgeous!

Thanks so much for taking the camera with you!!!!:)

Blessed sweethearts - run and fetch, run and fetch ....... OK, can we go home now ....?:p

Love the pic of them at the car .........

[jackiesdaisy]

Logan everytime I see those pictures, they put a smile on my face. All of your furbabies are so beautiful, and they all had a wonderful time including Murphy and the kids and Mom and Dad.
It's cloudy and very cool here and it put a little sunshine in our life, lol.

Great pictures Logan! That was great of you to give your pups some time to run. There is a nice open field near my house and I keep thinking what a great dog park it would make. Anyways your pups are just precious! You could tell they really enjoyed themselves! :)

[isis]

Really cute pictures!! Tennis balls are every where!! lol.:D

[dukedogsmom]

What a great idea and what great pics! I love the one of Lilly rolling in the grass. Dogs are so wonderful. By watching them, your heart feels so light and you can almost imagine what it's like to be a happy dog.

[petlover]

Look at all of the tennis balls in the pic of them resting!:eek:
CUTE!!:D I love goldens. But, I LOVE all dogs.
BIG or SMALL I love them all.;)
I wish that we had a place like that to take our dogs.:( Humph.
* pout* I am so happy for you and especially your doggie friends. Looks like they had a * ball* hehe what a coincidence. They really did have a * BALL* hehe:p

[anna_66]

Wow, what's gotten into you Logan, so many pictures of the dogs and the birds..in one day;)

That was a wonderful idea Scott had, I'm glad they all got to get out and do some running (or strolling:D). They look soooo happy!

Thanks so much for all the great pics!

[Logan]

Wow, what's gotten into you Logan, so many pictures of the dogs and the birds..in one day

:D Anna, I'm learning, slowly but surely, how to get those pictures off of Scott's digital camera!!!! There is no stopping me now!!!! LOL!!!! :)

[lovemyshiba]

Beautiful pictures!!!!
And what a great idea!!
When we lived in our apartment, we used to take Kito and Abbey to the tennis courts and lock the gate and let them run around--they loved it!!!!!!!

Everyone looks wonderful, especially Murphy!!!:)
