FitDog Friday #36 - Revisiting Crystal Springs Rhododendron Garden

Mr. N and Sage hadn't seen each other for a few weeks and the reunion was joyous. They wrestled frantically on the couch and ran around like maniacs.

Sage's human commemorated the occasion by presenting them with matching bandannas made out of squirrel fabric. Or as I call them their matching "couple t-shirts."

We ventured out to the Crystal Springs Rhododendron Garden because they have ducks and geese to keep the dogs entertained and it's mostly flat so Ann could get around without too much trouble (due to her leg injury).



The flowers weren't as lush as they were the last time I visited but there were still plenty of fowl and the greenery was soothing.

Sage eyeing the ducks. Although out of the two of them, Mr. N was much more gung ho about the birds. Sage gave them the hard eye, Mr. N wanted to chase them so badly.




Sage was like water at last! And promptly dived into it as Mr. N looked on.

Mr. N takes modeling to new heights. Literally. I put him down on a railing and told him to stay still.


That's all, folks!

    1. I imagine it could be done but probably would be difficult.

  4. That winking picture at the end is just too cute! It looks like a great place--we love the rhododendron garden near us, but our flowers are mostly gone now, too. Glad the dogs were able to reunite!

  5. Beautiful! I love watching ducks, but one time Kelly jumped in and swam after them, and we had to go rescue her in a rowboat!

  14. Squirrel bandanas and ducks to chase--or at least to consider chasing. Sounds like a banner day!
