Walking the Dog Day

Wednesday, February 22, 2017 is officially “Walking the Dog Day.”  What a remarkable opportunity to pop out to the South West Off Leash Recreation Area, and give your dog a bit of healthy exercise.  And amid the scenic tapestry of the Richard St. Barbe Baker Afforestation area, it is a great place for the pooch’s human to stretch their legs!

Off Leash Dog Walking

“‘In the midst of a puddly moor,’ says Emerson, ‘I am afraid to say how glad I am:’ which is a strong way of affirming the influence of the inner man as regards the enjoyment of external nature. And surely the inner man is a high factor in the effect. The magnificence of the world outside suffices not. Like light falling upon the polished plate of the photographer, the glory of Nature, to be felt, must descend upon a soul prepared to receive its image and superscription.”~John Tyndall

As Emerson states, it is a wonderful time of year to wear the rubber boots, Wellingtons or galoshes, and splash around a bit in the spring puddles, as the sun glitters amid the dancing tree reflections.

”   has made itself so many friends as the dog. A whole library might be filled with stories about what dogs have done, and men could learn a great deal from the sufferings dogs have gone through for masters that they love.”

And as you consider taking part in “Walking the Dog Day” take a moment to check out the City of Saskatoon’s; Responsible Pet Ownership – Bite Prevention You Tube Video, and also peruse the Canada150 Participaction 150 Play List and its Dog Walking activity listed thereupon.  For “Walking the Dog Day” if you cannot make it to the South West Off Leash Recreation Area, check out the other City of Saskatoon Dog Parks.

“When you get a dog, you inherit the dog’t past and the wisdom of generations that the dog carries.”  ~ Eckhart Tolle.

“Man has lost his way in the jungle of chemistry and engineering and will have to retrace his steps, however painful this may be. He will have to discover where he went wrong and make his peace with nature. In so doing, perhaps he may be able to recapture the rhythm of life and the love of the simple things of life, which will be an ever-unfolding joy to him.” ~ Richard St. Barbe Baker
