Goin' Country! (and picture crazy)

This weekend was the ultimate in dog field trips as far as Teddys Friends is concerned. On Saturday we took all the dog-park lovin' dogs to Shirlington for some running around and Sunday.... drum roll please....

We went Country! Us city folk can use a trip up north once in awhile, wouldn't you agree? Goodbye Alexandria, hello middle-of-nowhere Pennsylvania! The area we visited is very relaxing as long as one can get used to crappy cell phone reception, time-warp fashion trends, and the nearest coffee shop serving powdered latte mix disguised as a latte. Oh, you want flavor in that latte? Here is some hazelnut flavored creamer. EEEWWWWW.

Anyway, its not really that bad. There are some fine points, think 25 cent hot wings, $1 beers, and peace and quiet. Mostly, the slow pace is what I love. And the tranquility. Yes, lovely tranquility.

We brought Sadie along with us. She is a gorgeous super-model of a Rottweiler who loves treats, walks, chasing Teddy, attention from humans, doing tricks like sit, down and stay, and getting rubbed and petted by me (and her real family of course!). I literally pet her for 2 hours on our way to PA. Every time I stopped petting her she'd nudge me with her cute little nose. Her and Teddy get along really well though she beats him up all the time. He just lays there letting her pick on him.

The dogs ran and played all day and experienced some new things along the way. New smells, new animals, tasty ice-cream (YUM!), flea markets, and the freedom of basking in the sun without a leash. It was AWESOME for us and the dogs. I can't wait to do this again!
