Dog Park Adventure: Free Samples

We headed out to the park on Tuesday, to hand out some Axle Bites samples. For the middle of the week it was pretty busy. And everyone seemed to be excited about all the free treats! While handing out all the samples I was also able to get some photos of all the dogs.
 Catch!

 This little guy was super stoked about this rope toy he found.
 We met a beautiful Akita.
 Clover played Leap Frog with a Great Dane.

It's always a good idea to take a break every so often.
 I love these close up, bobble head shots. They always made me laugh!
French Bulldog on a mission!
 What a pretty coat!

 Axle had to have a little break. Sometimes he just gets too excited! 
 There is just something about French Bulldogs that make me smile.
What's over there!?
 Maya came to the park today! She is so pretty!
This Carin Tarrier was so adorable! 


 Sprout the Heeler mix puppy was ready for action!

 This little doggie was really enjoying our Axle Bites treats!
 We ran into Theo again!
 *smooch* Sometimes Axle likes to get fresh with the ladies.
 Axle and Loki!


 This gorgeous girl also showed at the park. I talked to her mom a little bit and found out she is a Lethal White, meaning she has vision and hearing impairment. Regardless of any disabilities, she was a sweet, happy, and completely wonderful pup enjoying some time at the park!! 
This sweet dog couldn't wait for his Dad to throw the ball!
Clover isn't really sure what Theo finds so funny.

We had a really great time a the park last week. And there is lots of warm weather heading our way, so we will get to go a lot more often. Please let us know if you see your dog, so we can put their name with their picture!

Do any of you take you dogs to parks or do any other activities? We would love to know more about you and your dogs! Leave us a note in the comments!

Dog Park Adventure: Spring Is (almost) Here

I hope that everyone had a great Easter! On Saturday we took a much needed trip to the dog park! We have not been able to go in about 2 weeks because it has been raining here so much. But Spring is finally here, and we are so excited! The weather was great, and it was so nice to finally have a day at the park where it wasn't freezing.
 It's time to play!
 A lot of the time, dogs like to check out the camera. It always it a good idea to bring extra cleaning cloths to help with all the nose prints.
 Hello Honey!

 Theo (orange collar) makes a new buddy.
 T finds a Frisbee!
 Theo strikes a pose.
 T the Bulldog is always the life of the party!

 Clover always seems to get muddy every time we go to the park.
 T smiling for the camera. How could anyone not love that face!

 There were so many dogs at the park!
 T might as well be our poster boy. We always seem to get so many great pictures of him!

 Catch me if you can!
 A wild Theo appears!
 T is such a handsome boy!
 Axle showing off his good looks.
 Carter has such a sweet smile!
 Break time.
 Hello there.
 Axle likes to take time to smell the flowers... or weeds, hes not picky.
 I promise I do not Photoshop Clover's eyes. I have people stop me and ask all the time what she is. She's half Siberian Husky and half Golden Retriever, so that's how she got those crazy blue eyes.
 Clover likes to bird watch.
 This crazy bird kept landing at the park and would wait for a dog to chase it. Then it would take off, circle the park, and land on the other side. He did this about 10 times. It was driving all the dogs ballistic! I think this bird was having a lot of fun teasing all the dogs.

 Axle does not know the meaning of personal space.
 We met a sweet little Boarder Collie also named Axle at the park. He was so cute!
Clover likes to compare notes with other fluffy dogs.

We always have such a great time at the park. And I'm so glad that the weather is warming up here. That just means we will get to go to the all that more often. We are supposed to have some really nice sunny days coming up soon, and we can't wait!

See your dog? Let us know in the comments so we can put their name with their picture! And don't forget to follow us on Bloglovin, and check out our new Etsy shop!

Axle Bites: Home Made - All Natural - Dog Treats

For the past few weeks I have been hinting at a Top Secret project that we have been working on. Well dear readers it is finally time to unveil our newest endeavor, Axle Bites! At The Dog Park now has its very own Etsy shop where we will be selling home made, all natural, dog treats. These treats are made with only all natural and organic ingredients!

We are currently offering three flavors, Pumpkin, Peanut Butter, and Carrot Brittle! And we plan on adding new flavors very soon. Axle Bites dog treats are for every dog, but they are specifically made for dogs with food allergies or sensitive stomachs. They are made using only four simple ingredients. There are no artificial flavors or preservatives in Axle Bites. So they are great for dogs who's tummies don't agree with all that filler that is in some of the off the shelf treats brands.

Aside from selling these treats on Etsy, we will also be participating on the Franklin Art Scene every month! So any of our local readers, please come and visit us the first Friday of every month. We will be set up at 225 2nd Ave South in Franklin Tennessee, in the back room of the blue house. Axle will even be there with us to help greet customers!

So if you are in the Nashville area please come and stop by this Friday! And if you are not, we still want to invite all of you to visit our Etsy shop and learn more about Axle Bites! We also want to offer a special discount for our Blog readers. Enter the coupon code "CLOVER" at checkout for $1 off your 1st bag of Axle Bites! 

Thank you all so much for being supportive of this blog over the past 6 months! We are so excited to embark upon this new business adventure!
