Morning Halloween Walk With Roxy

This senior maze was in the front yard of one of the streets we were on during our walk this morning.  I laughed out loud when I noticed it for the first time.

See the pretty colored leaves?

 

 Looks like we are at a standstill in this picture.  We are looking in opposite directions!

 Then we got it going right.

A few days ago Roxy plowed all the way through these leaves right down the middle of them.  Unfortunately, we did not have our camera with us so this morning we wanted her to do it again so we could get a picture.  Of course, she wouldn't do it when we had the camera.  I'm going to give it another try though.  I think she may have been too tired to bother because this was near the end of a 2-hour morning walk.

We went back in the afternoon, and sure enough, she enjoyed them then!  Watch this short video:

I'm at the Playground by Roxy

Usually I only walk around on the ground cutting through this playground at Veteran's Memorial Park on State Road, but today since we went very early in the morning before any kids were there, mom let me walk up to the top of the slide where there is a nice lookout deck for me to lay on and watch over the park!  It is a good rest spot for me because mom can sit on the ledge at the top of the slide while I lay down as long as I want.

The first time I went was actually yesterday, but mom didn't have her camera with her so we did it again today.  I also had a very long fun run in the outfield of a baseball field.  It felt so good to be able to run full speed with no leash holding me back!  Mom started running along with me but she couldn't keep up so let me go on my own, then was a bit worried when she realized the big opening with no fence at the side of the field, but no worries.  I just did one big run for probably less than a minute and came right back to her.  Next time she says we'll do it on a different field that is all fenced in except for two small gate openings.

I love going to State Road park!

Like My Yard Sign

When on a walk with Roxy, I saw a cute Browns sign I had not seen before.  I really liked it and then saw two more similar ones on the other side of the street nearby.  I thought they were homemade so later that day I walked that way again to show my husband.  We picked one of the houses and I asked where they got their Browns sign from.  The lady said her son made it so I asked if he could make me one.  She said she would have him give me a call so I gave her my phone number.  Three days later I heard from him saying the sign was done and I could pick it up any time.  He only asked for $20 which I was more than happy to pay for it.  I picked it up this morning and put it in my yard.  I love it because it's so simple, easy to read, and yet conveys the dog pound with the bone shape. 

Do you have any Browns decorations in your yard?

Zoo Outing With Masks - New Rhino Exhibit

Today we went to the zoo for the first time since COVID-19 hit.  We donned our masks and walked around much of the zoo.  Some of the buildings were closed, but we were able to see the kangaroos hopping around, the tiger up close and growling, and the new rhino exhibit including a couple rhinos.

We tried taking a selfie with the grizzly bear in the background, but couldn't get the bear in it.

The rhino exhibit is very large, but we didn't see any rhinos in it, until we moved to where some people were looking over the fence.  There it was, right against the wall where people could barely see it:

Right after I said it figures the rhino would go to the place where the people couldn't see it but then the rhino did get up and move around in its new exhibit that just opened this summer.

 Have you been to the zoo yet this year?

A New Place to Walk and Run by Roxy

Today I got to go to Parma Heights Baptist Church for a walk around the grounds and some great play time off leash at the fenced in playground!  It is the perfect place for me to do my zoomies and not get yelled at.  The video shows me in action and is very short because the Flip batteries died before I was through with my running.  It only shows the very beginning, but I ran lots more after that.

It was fun exploring the obstacles on the playground too.  I went inside one that looked like a big frog or alligator, not sure what it was and even found a big "bowl" of water because of the early rain that came last night and early this morning.
