Meetup for a Dog Walk on Freedom Parkway Trail

Rocco's ready to blaze a trail on our group dog walk Sunday
If you're looking for a fun activity to do with your dog and other dog lovers, check out the dog activity groups on meetup.com. This past weekend, Rocco and I went on our first walk with the Mongrels Mania group.  If you're in the Atlanta area, check them out! They plan lots of fun dog-friendly events.


This particular walk meandered along the Freedom Parkway Trail in Atlanta. We covered about six miles, roundtrip from Candler Park to the Jefferson Street Bridge near downtown Atlanta.


Rocco quickly made friends with the other fur pals in the group.


And he immediately connected with another Havanese!


There are plenty of interesting things to see along the route.


We worked our way over to the Jefferson Street bridge where we enjoyed the view of the Atlanta skyline.


And stopped by the Carter Center on the way back. Rocco enjoys the fountains!


Around the back of the Carter Center we found a beautiful duck pond with a view of the city.

The dogs and people had a terrific time.  To find a dog-friendly Meetup near you, go to meetup.com and search for "dog" or any interest of your choice near your city. You'll find all sorts of activities for all types of dogs.

Do you have a favorite Meetup group?

  4. That looks like so much fun, Rocco! Sadly, no meetups in my area. :( I suppose I could start one, but if there are absolutely no pet people on meetup then it's unlikely anyone will respond.
