State Parks Rock!

Omaha Nebraska about 25 minutes from the Zoo

We visited Mahoney State Park in Omaha Nebraska this weekend with the RV and it was awesome! Meatball enjoyed running around eating miscellanous things from the grass and chasing his human big sister around. The weather was cloudy but just enough sunshine. The state park is very clean and dog/kid friendly. We met other families and puppies there enjoying the weekend at Mahoney Park. There are bike/walking trails, playgrounds, mini golf, horse back riding and many other activities.The campground host was very nice and made sure we had everything we needed(even gave our little Lulu a park ranger sticker!) We will be back soon! If you're ever around the midwest Nebraska area stop here for a visit.

Meatball's family went to explore the Henry Doorly Zoo and he went to make friends at Downtown Hound. He had a blast in doggie day care playing with his maltese friend Zeke. The doggie daycare facility is very clean and the staff really pays attention to each pet. The prices are great too! Of course Meatball walked around Old Market in downtown Omaha which is dog friendly out on the patio's of most restaurants and shops. There we found the dog friendly gift toy store-- Le Wonderment which has unique gifts for kids and dogs. We met the Secher family, owners of Howlin Hounds Coffee. They are no longer dog friendly…boo health department! but were very friendly to serve us great coffee.

What an amazing zoo! The orangutans and gorillas were our favorite.
