🐾Paws in the Park🐾

Apparently, a good park day looks a little different for everybody.🤣

For Ansley, it meant hitting the trail, checking out the native rivercane, and wearing herself out enough that her family said she was definitely going to sleep good that night. Mission accomplished, Ansley. 🍃🤩

Buddy, on the other hand, looks like he’s been officially appointed designated driver. Somebody’s gotta make sure everyone gets home after a long day at the park!🚗🐶

Safe to say, both get a 10/10 for being ridiculously cute.💚

Keep sending us those park pet pictures – we love getting to see Cooper State Park South Sulphur Unit through their adventures too!

🐾Paws in the Park!🐾

We had two very different approaches to enjoying the park this week!

Saf the Heeler found a shady spot by the lake, kicked back, and showed us exactly how a relaxing park day should be done.🌊🐶😎

Meanwhile, Kinley the Chihuahua came prepared with enough enthusiasm for EVERYONE. Just look at that smile!💕Whether she was hitting the trail or stopping for a quick water break, Kinley was clearly having the time of her life.🤣

From laid-back lake lounging to tiny-but mighty adventures, we love seeing our four-legged visitors enjoying the park.🌳

Have you ever wondered which white topped plant seems to wave in the autumn breeze out in the pocket prairies of the park? From a distance, it looks like snow because of its white flowers. Meet Snow on the Prairie, a Texas native annual wildflower. This plant thrives here, where butterflies and bees visit it for nectar and the doves will consume the seeds. 🐝🦋❄️
