Tired dog = Happy Mommy

It's 80 freakin' degrees in February in Austin, Texas. So on a late sunny Sunday afternoon that means one thing... take the pooch for a nice long walk which accomplishes three things - exercise for mommy, exercise for doggie and a restful evening for everyone.

Lucky for me I have two choices of park in my neighborhood; one for walking a specific distance that has a track to go around and around (Schroeter Park) and one for more leisurely walking with a nice dip in the pond for your feet before heading back home (The Quarries Park). Today we opted for The Quarries Park where Bluebonnet got some brief off-leash time to run and play before putting her paws in the pond.
The proof is in the pictures on how successful I was at tiring her out.
