South Mountain Reservation

HI! Tater here! I went to grandma’s house over the weekend to play with cousin Mickey and cousin Gus and grandma had a surprise field trip for us! She took us in her car (I love riding the car and sticking my head out the window- makes me feel like I am running a million miles an hour!) for a ride to the South Mountain Reserve. This place is AWESOME. It has a HUGE dog park one for little dogs like me and BIG dogs like Emma. They have drinking fountains, park benches, these things for me to run on, around, through and under, and DogiPot stations, just in case you have to “go” while you are playing. I made a couple new friends and then grandma and mom took us for a walk around the loop. She said that it was only fair, so that way all of us can get some exercise. I saw this big dog standing outside the park and it didn’t move and was shiny, I asked mom what it was and she told me it was a memorial honoring emergency service dogs that lost their lives in the September 11, 2001 tragedies (see photo above). I thought that that was really nice and noble. I really love it there and hope that I can go again and again and AGAIN! If you are in neighborhood, make sure to stop by. http://www.essex-countynj.org/p/index.php?section=dog
