I read a quote last week by R. Benchley that said “Every boy should have two things; a dog, and a mother willing to let him have one.”
I loved that. I know that having a dog can be hard, because they can be more work than the kids sometimes, but the bond that they have is one of my favorite things. I love watching him run to my kids side if he hears them cry. I love that he barks if someone has come to the door and he doesn’t recognize them. I love that he just wants to sit beside you to show his loyalty.
Our favorite thing to do for our dog is to take him to the Dog Park. He LOVES it. He could play there for hours (and he comes home worn out!) I love that Beneful has just launched its 2016 Beneful Dream Dog Park Project, which is an annual effort to help improve and build dog parks across the country. The goal is to provide financial and hands on support to at least 12 dog parks in the U.S., and this year, with GoFundMe is helping to reach that goal. (Beneful has been helping build and upgrade dog parks since 2010)
Dog parks aren’t just for dogs, but also for the owners. I met one of my closest friends at a dog park and now we meet there so our dogs and kids can play! We plan weekly play-dates at the dog park now for the kids AND the dogs (the one that we go to has a kid park right next to the dog park, just separated by a small gate). 🙂
Do you want to win a GIVEAWAY: a Beneful Dream Dog Park ‘dog park pack’ to one reader (that’s what I’m using in the picture!) It has a bag, leash, Frisbee and tennis ball (maybe even a few Beneful coupons!) Just leave a comment below letting me know you’re favorite thing to do with your dog. 🙂
Our favorite thing to do with our dog, Luna is play kick ball and have her chase is around the yard. Great exercise for all.
My favorite thing to do is watch tv with Toby Tangles on my lap.
My favorite thing to do with my dogs is snuggling.
I love to enter our dog shaw in pet shows
My favorite thing to do with my dog Buttons is go on long walks.
I like to take our dog for a walk,then we go swimming
It’s a toss-up between playing fetch and going on walks.
Our family loves to take our 2 dogs on hikes. The dogs love getting out in nature and enjoying the lake air and all of the trail scents that go along with it!
We like to take our Dog to the leash free dog park where she can run around and interact with other dogs her size & we can trow balls for her <3
We just got a black lab a week ago. She’s 8 weeks old, she’s a feisty little thing but we love her, especially the girls, they can’t get enough of her! We’ve named her Jesse!
I LOVE this article. As a mom of 2 dogs, a cat and 2 kids, I know how hard it can be to spread the love. Every evening, when its warm enough, we head out for a walk. Sometimes its not far, but it gets both pups moving and helps those aging joints. Thanks for sharing this!!!
we like walking and playing in the park
I love running with my dogs. They are high energy herding dogs that have nothing to herd, so running helps keep their energy levels at bay. And it’s a great bonding time.
We just rescued two puppies from a shelter! We love learning their very different personalities and cheering when they follow easy commands and celebrate those small successes!
