Two Days, Two Dogs

Over the weekend, I took Biscuit and Stirling to Battery Kemble Park, which was a Union Army defensive site during the Civil War. The battery was located on what is now Nebraska Avenue, NW, and included two 100-pound Parrott rifles, placed in such way as to reach over the Potomac into Virgina. The park is popular for running, sledding, nature walks, and is known to locals (and the NPS itself) as a de facto dog park.

Once off the trail, it is time for sniffing the other dogs that there in the "bowl" of the park, which also includes more running up and down hills and more wrestling each other, and more fun.
