Rocco escapes the elements in his nifty Petmate pop up tent |
Neither did we until the nice folks at Petmate reached out to us with a terrific giveaway opportunity to help you enjoy your walks with your pups even more!
Read all the way down to enter our giveaway and see the nifty prize pack you can win from Petmate.
But first, here's five reasons why you should grab your pup this Sunday (or any day) and take a walk in the park.
- Getting out in the great outdoors is great exercise for both you and your dog
- It gives you time to stop and smell the roses
- Walking and taking in some nature is a terrific stress reducer
- It's a great way to clear your head, and you might just come up with a brilliant idea!
- It's a perfect time to bond with your dog and socialize with others you might meet on the way too!

That looks like a gorgeous park near you and beautiful place to take a walk. Great giveaway. Sharing.
ReplyDeleteThank you! We're lucky to have lots of nice green space and parks near us. The mountains aren't too far either for a nice hike!
DeleteDiane and Rocco
We love ours and we go everyday for a lark in the park. We will make it extra special on Sunday. Thanks for letting us know. Have a fabulous Friday.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes Molly
Have a fabulous park walk! We love ours too!
DeleteDiane and Rocco
Golden Happy the weather is getting better and we can go to the park. Sunday temp is suppose to be in the 60's ... definitely going to the park. Happy FitDogFriday. Golden Woofs
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear it's FINALLY warming up there! I'm hoping we've had the last of our cold spells now.
DeleteDiane and Rocco
This is fantastic. I entered, yippee
ReplyDeleteLily & Edward
Love the little 'pup tent. Can see how it would be really cool to have on those long hikes.
ReplyDeleteWe have a prak nearby called Meadowbrook Park. It is a recreated prairie grassland with concrete paths throughout. And along the paths are large sculptures! It is always full of people biking, walking and jogging dogs!
ReplyDeleteWalking anywhere, especially a nice park is always fun. Nice giveaway too, but we had a pop up kennel like that and it was a disaster. First Bailie cartwheeled around the room in it trying to get out. Then Mom left and when she came back, Bailie had ripped the seam by the zipper open and broke out. For Bailie we need something like the county jail. She also broke out of a kennel at nose work class. One determined pup we have! Rocco looks so cute and happy sitting in there!
ReplyDeleteOh dear! I sent Rocco into it like I do with his crate (with rewards!) So now he's obsessed with running into the tent! haha! Rocco CAN however unzip things so I can't leave him unattended!
DeleteDiane and Rocco
I'm so glad to know its Take A Walk In The Park Day this sunday! Weather is finally looking better too!
ReplyDeleteMy mini dachshund, Sally, and I love to go walking in Bells Ferry Park in GA. The trail is pretty flat, which is good for her little legs!
ReplyDeleteOhh! You're pretty close to us… well at least in the same greater metro area!
DeleteDiane and Rocco
I love to take my dog to hike at French Park. It's only a few minutes drive from my house, and has some great hiking trails as well as a creek to play in. This summer I want to take him to Hocking Hills as well.
ReplyDeleteLove the pictures!...and the pop up tent!
ReplyDeleteI like taking my 3 dogs to heritage park, all of them love the park, every time i have my jack Russell beagle mix Roxy with me and we drive by the park she starts barking because she wants a walk in the park
ReplyDeleteIt would be High Park :)
ReplyDeleteI love to take my dogs camping! All of these things would be great for that!
ReplyDeleteI like taking my dog to the James River Park.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea there was a day for that! Our favorite parks are Southeastway and Southwestway Park, on the southeast and southwest sides of Indianapolis. Southwestway has amazing walking/equestrian/biking trails, and southeastway has a gorgeous creek.
ReplyDeleteOur favorite (off leash) park near Seattle is Marymoor, also known as Dog Disneyland...forty fenced acres, three river dog swimming beaches!
ReplyDeletePoricy Park - it's our neighbor!
ReplyDeleteGreat prize pack. Best of luck to all who enter!
ReplyDeleteAw man! I was really hoping they'd include the dog! He's cute!
ReplyDeletehahaha!
DeleteBy our house we have an area called the 'greenbelt' - it's a lovely walking path that has a little pond in the middle w/people and ducks.
ReplyDeleteWe're only about a half hour drive to the Indiana Dunes (both the state and national parks). I just LOVE walking dogs there - between the woods and the lakeshore, they really get a workout and have fun!
ReplyDeleteOh it's been years since I've been to the dunes (I used to live in Michigan). I bet it would be a blast to take dogs there! Happy weekend!
DeleteDiane and Rocco
We like to walk to the lake in our development.
ReplyDeleteNear us, Three Oaks Recreational Park is a great place for walks, splashing in the lake, having a ball. We're in the Chicago metropolitan area - loads of parks and fun in the Big City!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip! I wonder how muddy our parks will be on Sunday...
ReplyDeleteDidn't realize that this Sunday was Walk your Dog Day. We are certainly going to take part in this lovely holiday! :)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite park is Lions park. It has some great trails and its is always neat and clean.
ReplyDelete1000 Acres!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite park to take the dogs to is Lewis and Clark State Park. The dogs love jumping in the river, walking on the sand and meeting friendly people and their dogs :) They view of the mountains in the back is beautiful and there are great hiking trails.
ReplyDeleteOur favorite place to walk isn't exactly a park. They have created a walking path along the beach where doggies are allowed to walk on a leash with their owners. It is very nice and they even have garbage cans and doggie bags placed at regular intervals along the way in case you forget your own. We liked walking at Gulf Island National Seashore the one and only time the gnats didn't attack us, and there is a new dog park in Gautier we want to check out.
ReplyDeleteWe like to walk at the local University. Great giveaway!
ReplyDeleteThere's a dog park by the local shelter called "The Bark Park". It's fairly hilly, but the dogs love it, and it's HUGE!
ReplyDeletePiedmont!
