Griffin has been playing fetch for a while now, but with me soft tossing a ball in a field closer to the entrance of Dyckman Fields. This morning we walked to the soccer pitch, almost to the end of the park, and I used the ball launcher to throw the ball much further. He doesn’t yet have the stamina to play more than a few rounds (he didn’t make it all the way back to me in the video below), but I think Griffin was happy to stretch his legs a bit more than the 30 feet of fetch that we’ve been playing.
This afternoon we meandered for a bit in Fort Tryon Park. The last photo and second video show Griffin walking up the side off the path which has a pretty decent slope. I guess he does have some mountain goat in him – and is showing off practicing a decline exercise out in nature!
The pollen has been killing me these last few days, but the outdoors make Griffin so happy, so I persevere (and wear a face mask!).

Hey Griffin! Looks like another fine day in your city. I love watching you get outside. And is it me or is your tail like a big propeller? I swear I saw it spinning round and round when you ran out into the field!
Tell us what you smelled in the dirt, it looks fascinating.
