Walk with Moxie this Wednesday

Hi I'm Moxie!  Please come and walk with me in the cool urban park that's in our neighborhood. It's full of places to sniff, pee and play.  Oh, that's Murphy on the bridge with me...just ignore him he's so slow and old.  Let's GO!

Oooo, look up! The sky is blue and the birds are so noisy!  I like to be noisy too, but no one is in the park so I can bark at them.  Oh, look over THERE!  I love this path covered over with leaves 'cause there is so much good stuff to sniff.  There is mud to play in too, but Mom and Dad won't let me off the leash.  In fact Mom is scolding me for running ahead and making her camera shake when she tries to take a picture of me.

The area is a small wetland and it's full of old trees and a little summer stream.  We come here often in the summer and it's one of my favorite places.  I can walk fast and go right past the things that don't smell, but Mom likes to look at the views.   

The old trees make shade in the summer, but right now they have no leaves and look a little spooky. I'm a bit of a scardy-dog and strange things make me run with my tail down. I really didn't like climbing this tree, but Dad thought I looked cute.  I couldn't hold still as it was a little scary.
Mom  kept stopping to take close ups of things she thought were interesting and had good 'texture'.  I don't know what that is and I just wanted to run up ahead and  have a good time. 

We won't come back here in the winter, as the path isn't clear, so I will miss walking in this park until next spring.  I think there should be more urban parks in the suburbs. Don't you?

I want to wish everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving weekend from me, Mom and Dad, oh OK, and Murphy, too.

Hi Moxie,

Thanks for sharing your walk with us. Looks like you had a good day.

Have a Happy Thanksgiving with lots of treats.

Yes Moxie, every community should have a park like yours. It's nice to see how much you enjoy it.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!

jacksonville has the most urban parks of any city in the nation. some of them are very tiny and some are really really big

Great job, Moxie! ;)

Hi Moxie! Be nice to old Murphy - you'd miss him if he wasn't there with you. Thanks for the tour of your favorite park! Spring will be back before you know it. Enjoy the winter and all the coziness it brings. :)

Happy Thanksgiving! Eat some turkey and share with Murphy, okay?!

[Marcia]

That park looks familiar...I think I went to a bike race there several years ago! Happy Thanksgiving to you all!

[Kathy]

Please give Margene a Happy Thanksgiving hug from me, okay?!?

[Cheryl]

Looks like Moxie has plenty of "moxie" to be sitting in that tree. Very cute.

[Jennifer]

Moxie is so cute! I agree, there should be more urban parks in the suburbs.

[Martha]

Excellent texture shots! Moxie's right about parks in the suburbs.

[Roxie]

Too bad about the leash, Moxie. You could probably have rolled in some really ripe stuff if you had been allowed to roam free. Wonderful photo-journaling!

[Rosemary]

Thank you so much for sharing your last fall walk in the park, Moxie. Happy Thanksgiving to your whole family!

[Isela]

Moxie, you are so brave to have climbed to that tree for a picture :). Kisses for you.

[debbie]

i've enjoyed the walk with you, moxie - you sure are cute and have a lot of personality! you're lucky mom, dad and murphy take you on such nice outings, especially before winter sets in....happy thanksgiving to you and your family too, from cloudy hawaii.

[bella]

Moxie - you're pretty cute! Or, maybe I should say handsome!
I've got an old brother, too. But, I like him.
I don't get the whole photograph thing either..........
Happy Thanksgiving! Maybe you will score some table scraps!

[Susan]

Happy Thanksgiving to you, too!

First dog I've ever seen in a tree.
