Dog-Friendly Atlanta: A stroll through Winn Park

Sometimes a dog and his people just need to take time out of their busy lives and take an afternoon stroll through a lovely park, with fields and streams, and a few squirrels too!



We started our stroll at the Iris Garden entrance of Winn Park, nestled amongst the winding streets of Ansley Park, just minutes from Midtown Atlanta. 


You'd never know the busy business district is just minutes away!


Can you spot the wild Havanese in his native habitat?!!


It's Cosmo Havanese! Stopping to cool off in a clear, cool stream.


The pond is a lovely place to stop and relax...


... and watch the gold fish swim, the mighty oaks reflected in the clear pond water. 


What's caught Cosmo's eye? A squirrel, of course! 


This post comes just in time for the first day of National Walk Your Dog Week, October 1-7, founded by pet lifestyle expert and animal behaviorist Colleen Paige and sponsored by the Animal Miracle Network. Paige created National Walk Your Dog Week to bring awareness to the increasing problem of canine behavior issues and canine obesity in America. 


So what are you waiting for!! Get off the sofa and take your doggie for a walk, right now! It's good for both of you! I'm heading out the door with Cosmo just as soon as I hit "Publish." Ta-Da!


See you outside.

  11. You write a good commentary on important information which I welcome
    Before looking for an individual stockbroker in the Indian Stock Market you should trade with HOld Puri as they are providing a trading platform with a Demat account and personal support to traders in India for the last 10 years. They have good investment-related experience. Can give you accurate plans to get good returns in future
    Thanks
