In the morning we went to the Domain. When we arrived there the sun was still very low and drawing long shadows.
The Auckland War Memorial Museum was celebrating its 80th birthday.
From the Domain you can see the Sky Tower, a landmark in the centre of the city.
In late afternoon we went to St Heliers. We hadn't been to the suburb along St Heliers Beach for a long time since some dogs died from eating sea slugs that contained toxin found in blowfish when walking on beaches around Hauraki Gulf. The beaches were still closed for the dogs, so we had a walk on Tamaki Drive and in a park called Vellenoweth Green.
Who do you think we met in the park? We met Chloe the Beagle and her human by chance!! Chloe is a member of the Hound Racing Club and always ran with Cookie at demos in dog events like Discover Dogs and Pet Expo. We hadn't seen them for a long time, because there was no coursing in winter and when the coursing started again in September Cinnamon was being treated for her hip problem and Cookie was unwell.
What a lovely day it was!! We had two pleasant special walks in one day!
It looks like perfect weather for walkies. And how nice to meet up with Chloe. She is so cute.

I love the last picture of the two of them together. Look like perfect friends. :)
ReplyDeletePretty friend! Beautiful day for a walk... Missing Cookie.
ReplyDeleteAww that's great! It's always nice to meet friends on walks. And what a pretty day to enjoy the outdoors.
ReplyDeleteOoh ... "The Domain" ... that sounds like a region of space where the Enterprise might encounter sinister aliens! Or possibly cute beagles! ;-)
ReplyDeleteLovely pictures! Cinnamon is such a great picture poser.
ReplyDeleteNice pictures with Cinnamon, very regal. Thanks for letting us meet Chloe. She is also very pretty.

ReplyDeleteCinnamon and family!
ReplyDeleteDue to our humans recent trip we've been so behind in the blog world. We just started visiting our friends blog slowly and we were in shocked to find out your loss. We're very sorry about it. The picture of the little casket makes us cry. Cookie was still very young. Life is so not fair!!
Cookie, please run free and keep smiling!!
