First visit to Point Pleasant Park

After the miserable weather we had last week, this weekend's summer heat was quite welcome. Apollo and I went on our first walk to Point Pleasant Park, and what was originally intended to be a medium-long walk ended up filling our afternoon for over two and a half hours. Below is the route we took in the park. According to my sophisticated guesstimate (technically according to Google Maps, but they don't have a setting for "sniffing puppy" speed), our walk to the park and back was about half an hour each way.

Once in the park, Apollo found a delightful little pond.

What do you mean, I can't stay here forever?

We also met lots of other dogs and owners, including one adorable 12-week old chocolate lab mix. I didn't get a picture, so you'll just have to take my word for it. This pup was seriously cute, as was the 4-month-old golden retriever we also met.

Hopefully we'll see some more warm-ish non-rainy days soon, so we can head back there. Apparently there are dog meets at 9:00 on Saturdays, but I feel like I need to be able to let Apollo off leash before going there. Haven't been working quite enough on recall yet for that.
