Alexandria Community Park, Kentucky – A Secret Treasure and a Hound Walkers Dream!
Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Secret Treasure Lovers…
Today we all set off on a mission to replace a beloved loved little Japanese Maple tree. It was Chloe’s favorite tree and we lost it over the summer for reasons unknown.
We called around and found the perfect little tree. It was out at a small country nursery. 50% off none the less!
The Mayor approved!
It was an absolutely perfect day and we ventured on to get lost on the back roads. We had no idea where we were going but I saw a small sign that said,
You would not have believed this park. Just stunning.
That walking path, goes on for about a mile right around the fishing lake. Just Beautiful…
There was even a bench for the perfect photo op!
It was just amazing to run across this secret treasure. The Mayor was acting like a young pup and never stopped once. He pulled us the entire way. It was such a joy!
The trees are turning and the Mayor is loving this weather.
I will post a picture of Chloe’s new Japanese Maple tree soon.
Gawd she loved that tree. She would tickle her back under it for hours. I have a branch of it placed over her urn in my office.
More loving secret treasures later….Cat, Chaps and Emma ATB with our Chloe…
PS – here is Emma exploring Chloe’s tree a few years ago….

That tree is stunning! I have one and love it. I did not realize just how much Chloe looks like Abby! So cute. Chaps seems to be getting around very well – it seems like he loves the change of seasons!
I see why you wanted to replace that tree! It is something special, just like Chaps! Glad he has new found puppy vim and vigor and enjoyed the park, give him a few hugs from me!
I’ve heard of silver maple and red maple but never Japanese Maple. It is beautiful. That is a good picture of Chloe. What a beautiful houndette she was. That park looks cool! I need to get out with our dogs if I can ever talk Ronald in to it. Football season has put a hold on everything…except watching football.
Such a beautiful tree, Chloe had very good taste. I’m so glad Our Emma enjoyed it as well. I can’t wait to see some photos.
Cat,
You, your mom and Our Mayor make the world a better place!
[…] Interestingly, it is hidden so it is hard to find. We stumbled upon it with the Late Mayor Chaps Wayne Rudert about a year ago. For those of you looking for the park it is on Alexandria Drive in Alexandria, […]
