Kites are a great exercise tool for dogs! At least for Darwin and her BFF Friday they are.
A few weeks ago we met up with Robin and BB and Friday at Discovery Park for an early evening park session. BB brought his giant kite along and we had a fun time flying kites (we met a couple at the park who let us fly their smaller kite while they flew BB's bigger one) and entertaining the dogs.
Darwin's not a huge roll-in-something-stinky dog, but she found something good in the long grass. (photo edited for viewer's eye safety.)
The only thing with dogs chasing kites is the amount of barking they do. It was nonstop. And when BB got fancy and had the kite diving down, they got even more excited.
After a while we had to hold onto the dogs and make them rest. Their minds were saying "get that kite" while their bodies were saying "I can't keep going at this pace."

Looks like you had heaps of fun with those Kites!
ReplyDeleteI (Lexi) don't like things flying in the air, I have to bark and being all brave until they come down and then I run away and hide like a bit chicken!
I (Jasper) am not fussed about kites that people fly. I LOVE Kite surfers, that race up and down the beach! I chase them backwards and forwards through the water - they think its great and keep calling me to make me chase them!!
Licks and lots of slobber,
Lexi and Jasper the Danes
Great place to enjoy and I love the yellow stars to cover up your private bits - its so nice your human gives you a bit of doggie photo dignity!!
