Mill Creek Metropark is the local favorite around here (Youngstown) for hikes and scenery. It's literally a gem in the middle of an otherwise developed area. It has some neat geology, and lots of history.
I took Macey for her first hike this week. I like to think that she loved it. :)
Some texture for you.
She's annoyed with me stopping to take pictures.
Don't you just want to go and sit by the pond because of this picture? Maybe not. Because it's covered in snow. But it's still pretty.
Trying her hardest to not pull on the leash. It's so tempting.
A tired pup.
The command "look" we're learning in puppy class really comes in handy when I'm trying to take her picture.
Hey. Hey. It's snow. And I'm outside. Hey. Watch what happens to my ears when I run. Hey. Hey. Are you watching? Wee!
Trail # 2 - next to the river
Macey is a bit fearless when it comes to sniffing over the edge.
As you can imagine, taking a picture without the leash in it was rather difficult.
Surprise! This trail led us to the pioneer house.
Hey. Hey what's that? Hey I think it...Hey did it honk at me??
After I got a few shots, I let Mace chase the stupid Canada Goose around a bit. :)
And that's our hiking adventure.

Tuna and I went to a thrift store today to buy Macey some stuffed animals to chew on (she loves them but they don't last long!) We bought her a few things, and of course I found something too. I love this wreath. It's hard to see in the picture a bit (it's actually a bright pale green) it's got green confetti type paper and beads glued all over it. It's perfect for St. Patrick's day but also come Easter I'll throw on some bows and wire on some eggs and it'll be perfect for both holidays! and it was only 1.50. woo hoo.
Last but not least. Rulli Brothers (a local market) had this dip for sale for 1.00 a piece. (usually 2.00) and I had a dollar off two coupon from 1/23 smart source so we got two for a dollar. And trust me. It's called heluva good for a reason!! Yeehaw.
Well that wraps it up for today. I'm working on a valentines day fabric wreath...it's going slow. Really slow. So we'll see how soon that gets posted ;)
Love,
Little Tuna
