This post is being written at the same time Koda is in the vet's, waiting to be neutered. Sigh. I am a nervous mom.
So, I am posting this blog and these pictures to make me feel better! I know everything will be fine and we will be out there running rampant all over NY soon enough :)
I have posted about the Albany Pine Bush before, and will probably continue to do so for a very long time! I love it. The picture above is in an open, sandy field between all the trails. It is just an amazing landscape to find right in the city. Preservation is key and a lot of people have put in a lot of hard work to keep the Pine Bush natural.
The Pine Bush is just a perfect place for me and Koda to work on having good trail manners while being very close to the city and not risking much at all!
Koda got a little photo shoot, courtesy of Chris. Usually I am the one taking the pictures, so it was nice to have someone else do it for a change! (though I am looking quite schlubby, hahah, I don't try to look nice for the trails, so sue me)
Aaaaaand, of course, the Pine Bush has something that Koda loves:
SNOW!
Hehe. There are some shady areas that still have a decent amount of snow, even though the rest of the area is dry and warm! He got to bite it and feel the cold for a little while, at least.
That's all for now, going to anxiously await the call from the vet letting me know he is out and recovering (and crossing my fingers that he doesn't have to stay overnight!).
Hello. I just found your blog. I am actually from Albany and oddly enough, I have never heard of the Pine Bush reserve and look forward to bringing my dog there! Thanks so much. I cant wait to go home to visit my family and check it out!
