You may call it Sir Sandford Fleming Park, Dingle Park or just The Dingle. We’re calling it the blog’s biggest surprise hit to date. The thing is, we had been to Dingle Park a few times before. But we had always stuck to the beach and playground area. It wasn’t until we (dog)ventured there last weekend that we realized just how much more this park has to offer. Continue reading
I’ve always suspected it was true. But it wasn’t until last weekend, when a trusted friend (who also just so happens to be a world traveler) reached the same conclusion, that I was prepared to put it on the record. I’m ready now.
I have found the best stretch of the Trans Canada Trail in the entire country. And it’s right in our backyard. Continue reading
The past few days (and probably this weekend) aside, it’s hard to deny that we’ve had an easy winter. The weather in Halifax has been unseasonably warm, and who can remember the last time we had to shovel snow? Suffice to say Halifax has redeemed itself from last year, and we’ve been taking full advantage.
The best part about the warmer weather is that the lakes have completely thawed. Obviously, this means Dallas is back in the water. Lucky for us, last weekend we found a perfect swimming spot… And it was in the heart of Burnside. Who would have thought? Continue reading
I finally managed to convince two of my best human pals to join me for a dogventure. It was a gloomy Sunday in Halifax, but time with friends makes everything feel a little brighter.
I had to run a few errands downtown (most importantly, I had to pick up the ingredients for Homemade Paw Balm – more on this later!) so we decided to meet up at Conrose Park. Continue reading
I’m going to let you in on a secret. I was pretty nervous to start this blog. I wasn’t so much worried about people not liking it. I figure those who don’t like it won’t read it. I was mostly nervous about failing. I had no idea if I would enjoy blogging. And I knew if I didn’t enjoy it, I wouldn’t be able to stick with it. I was scared that I would lose interest, or energy, or ideas, and give up. Halifax Dogventures would be relegated to the same dusty shelf as countless other abandoned blogs.
So I set a goal: one blog post a week for 52 weeks.
So far, sticking with my goal has been easy. And so much fun. I think it’s because I have a subject I genuinely get excited about. Dogs + exploring = the best. Going on our weekly dogventures and sharing them with all of you has become a highlight of my week.
That brings me to my #1 tip for starting a blog… Continue reading
