Bark in the Park

Since we are close to Asheville, we still like to hop over the mountain to visit our GDF group once in a while. This month's meeting was held in Chimney Rock, NC, which is a Rock that looks like a chimney, which you can hike up too :D, Each year, they hold a Bark in the Park event, dogs shops, and daycare's, rescues and boutiques come and set up booths, and market their wares. GDF also has a booth set up for potential puppy walkers.

We've gone the last two years, but never had a chance to hike up to the Chimney, due to other events we'd have to rush back for; not this year!!

My sisters bummed a ride and came with me; and since we were helping run the GDF Booth, we go to get into the park free!
Veda was as close to perfect as you can get in this setting! No pulling to see other dogs, walking nicely responding to all commands!! He had a great time! Texas on the other hand was a little putz for the most part, letting people know he didn't want his space invaded!! ::eye roll:: So most of the time, he wasn't allowed to be petted, etc.. Bubbles spent the day with the "grandparents" as I knew she wouldn't like the heat and all the walking.

After visiting the booths, watching agility trails, and talking to people...we headed up the mountain!
