Another fantastic day with my son. I must be doing something right 🤔 Im still cool! 🤗
The sun was unexpectedly out for us today and we decided after lunch to take a jaunt up to Golden Ears Park.
Now...the hours have changed so...park closes at 530. This didnt give us a whole lot of options. We thought...lets just take Zeus up to the falls. We headed up to the lower falls thinking I would play with my camera with the fall leaves and allow time. 80% of dogs were off leash 😨 now...we always take Zeus to an on leash trail on purpose knowing that he doesnt want to be bothered by other dogs...just hike...just be left alone. He doesnt want to be sniffed or played with and Zeus will most likely look at first glance extremely friendly. He is not! He wants to be left alone...on his leash. He will eat your dog for lunch! So when I say...my dog isnt friendly...why the funny look?
Im trying to help you. Others...are 10 or so if not more feet away from their off leash dogs...wanting to run up to Zeus...in the on leash park and it is not pleasurable at all for me or any owner in my position. It was nice today my son got to handle it. I want to say...rules are in place so all people can enjoy the outdoors in harmony. In peace. Please be considerate of this. I wont even start on the dog poop I see 😨 My son says...."now I know why you take Zeus to the less travelled mom. Dont ever bring me here again!" The only sad thing with this...I live in Maple Ridge and drive hours away to do this 😔
We ended up hopping over to the East trail and going to the upper falls where there is nil to little foot traffic. We lucked out and saw no one 🤗 I barely got to play with my camera but...we salvaged the trek and had some enjoyable time together.
Happy trails:)
