The Urban Water Garden

Flash back Friday...

Catching up on my last adventure with my Arnie & Gracie in Fort Worth....

I'm an urban girl & a country girl at the same time. Adventuring with Arnie & Gracie, destination downtown Fort Worth, we were urban pugs for the day.

The sign was so apropos! Could it be a dream? No, it was another real, in the fur adventure with The Agility wonders Gracie & sigh, Arnie.

After agility running with Gracie in the morning, we headed to downtown. Destination Forth Worth Water Gardens that were built in 1974.

The active Pool was so impressive, with the noise of the cascading water, it blocked out the noise of the hustle & bustle of the city. You may have to squint but look closely in the middle of the picture to find Gracie. She was not a happy camper in the the Active pool, cooling terraced knoll but don't tell, she was braver than my Mom. Someone wimped out and only took me down two levels.

Then it was time to visit the Cypress lined, quiet meditation pool. Did you know the Cypress had knees?.... I had no idea trees had knees. The sound of the water cascading down the walls was so relaxing. Just wish there would have been a hammock between the trees to take a nap.


Where's Gracie?

The Three Pugateers. We can take on anything, especially when it comes to adventuring together. Priceless moment.

One of my favorite things about Brandy, was that I got to use my bionic abilities to run & run. Now I have Gracie & Arnie's sister, Snap to run with, bionic knees & after burners activated. Hehee, snort.


Mom keeps hinting at an upcoming surprises. I know of one that she hasn't posted yet, hopefully she will post it Sunday. The other, I only get is a smile & Mom says I will be surprised.

  1. Suki you look so beautiful in the first picture. And you remind me of Payton with your one ear back. She always did that since she could only hear in one ear. Wish I could have gone to the cypress meditation pool with you all. Looks so pretty and peaceful. It makes me so happy that you had a fun weekend with good friends.
    Love,

    1. Hi Aunt Christy,

      In the first picture, I was listening to the city noise on the street. The quiet pool was so peaceful, but I want to go swimming & Mom wished she had her raft so she could go floating.

      Hugs,
      Suki
