Kirby Park. I don't remember what the poles are for... if they're some kind of exercise thing (weave poles for people?!) or "art."

Along the top of the levee is a paved walk, with lamp posts every thirty feet or so. Beavis had to "claim" each and every one of them.

But he was happier when we were in the field and I didn't make him walk right next to me.

All the "law breaking" geese feeders were gone, so I could move in and get some pictures.

Downtown Wilkes Barre, taken at a traffic light, through the windshield. Wouldn't you know it? The second I had the camera ready, my light changed green.

Right after work, I packed up Beavis and took him to Kirby Park, one of the areas larger parks on the river, where we spent about an hour walking around the pond, on the levee, and working a bit on Beav's manners.
Our Pekingese rescue's reunion is still four months away, but I want to get him used to behaving among distractions. He was too nervous at the last reunion to do any of his tricks (plus, I forgot his bag of treats in the car!) and I want him to be ready for this one.
So we worked on heel (reasonably well), sit (good), paw (really good), high five (needs work if there's distractions), and I even managed to get him to play dead. Once. We'll need more practice.
What a lovely park! All the "Wildlife" and the pond. Beavis looks so sweet at the new park. I bet he loved the walk and even the workout Mom. #9 "King of the Hill. I oversee my subjects" #14 "Mom, this is really cool to be in a new park! Got Water?" #20 Posing "Is this my good side? Oh yeah, it the one with the eye open!" #23 "I am so cute, I am the best, I am so cute and I have a big fan club" Teeheee he is adorable!
Love this set, Lorina. I love seeing more of Wilkes Barre. I'm dying to go there and take pictures of the bridge and the courthouse and other stuff at night.
