I wanted to share a little bit from our experiences on our #OptOutside not #BlackFriday day after Thanksgiving.

My wife and I took one of our dogs, Brynn, up to Ithaca for a hike and a visit to the wonderful dog park they have there.

This is a series of photos of Brynn trying to chase down a ball someone threw at the dog park.

She always puts in full effort but she does not always successfully catch the ball. Check it out.

Brynn puts forth maximum effort on every attempt to catch the ball but on this one she just missed the ball and wiped out when trying to turn back to grab it. So sometimes Brynn has crash landings, but it never deters her. She gets right back up and runs full out again the next time.
