We Heart City Life

Jody, Jacks and Caele with Rec and Parks friends Mary Sue (Partnerships Director) and Ms. Wanda Durden (Director of BCRP).

We love this log. Jacks loves to jump over it.
Caele is on top of the log- she's the king of the world.
CDW and the kiddos.
Fantastic shot of C-Monkey.
This tree is right in the middle of the dog park - we think it is so cool. We found out that it came from Druid Hill Park, which is where BCRP main headquarters are located - and where my office was this summer.
This is the water channel in the park. When you push the button water comes out and flows through the channel which weaves across one side of the park. The dogs think this is very cool.

This weekend is off to an awesome start. This morning we finally checked out the new farmer's market at the Baltimore Museum of Industry. We picked up all kinds of goodies like Japanese pears, smoked salmon with candied ginger, fresh mozzarella, heirloom tomatoes, Dangerously Delicious Peach Pie . . . and we topped it all off with a freshly made crepe.

After the farmer's market we headed down to Locust Point for the grand opening of the Locust Point Dog Park. This has been a long time in the making - until today we've had to drive all the way to Canton (on the other side of the harbor) to the only dog park in the city. Locust Point is just one neighborhood over from us down here in SoBo (South Baltimore).

Caele says that the new dog park is "da bomb." Mayor Dixon was at the opening to say a few words, and we ran into some of my old friends from Baltimore City Rec and Parks - Rec and Parks was instrumental in making the LPDP happen. Caele wasted no time snuggling up to the Mayor's Press Director - he was quite enchanted with her. Caele and Jacks had the best time meeting lots of other doggies, and checking out their new fave hangout.

And finally we want to send a shout out to the Sullivans who added to their family last night. The Sullivans adopted a stray pooch that was found by the side of the road in Essex. We think he's about a year old, and a beagle/basset hound mix. This little guy is so cute - and though shy at first seemed right at home with his new family and new digs by the end of last night. He also had his first play date with Jackson last night. Congratulations to the Sullivans on their new addition and for giving a homeless pet a home, and to their little guy for going from roadside homeless to Federal Hill Yuppie Puppy.
