After a stressful day it’s always nice to unwind. We all have our own ways of relaxing, be it gardening, painting, or simply relaxing with friends. In our house, we head to the park. Being a dog mom (and yes, I can’t believe I’m calling myself that either), I’m always on the look out for a nice park to take a nice “sniff-n-stroll”. A couple days ago, we visited a new park and I happened to have my camera with me. The girls were patient enough to be my models, and gave me a few pointers on how to fully unwind from a busy day of cat chasing, rawhide chewing, and staring out the window.

1. Keep a watchful eye on your surroundings.

2.  Stay hydrated.

3. Enjoy nature.

4. Ponder…

5. Again, keep an eye on your surroundings. Or evil cats that might be lurking near by.

6. Finally, take time to sit in the grass,  and enjoy doing nothing.
