Once they arrived at Shady Oaks Park, Monkey D kicked things off with a brisk 1-mile warm-up lapâtoy securely in his mouthâwalking confidently past people and kids without a second thought. After warming up, his buddy decided to add a little more cardio to the day, so they headed onto the Coyote Creek Trail.Throughout their morning adventure, they took a few well-earned breaks. Monkey D loved stretching out in the sun, toy-of-toys besidehim, soaking in the lake view. Heâd occasionally stroll over for snacks and some hang-out time, but his favorite move was definitely the confident sun-bathing. Despite plenty of dogs, cyclists, and activity along the trail, Monkey D stayed completely unfazed. He did spot a squirrel or two, but his focus stayed steadyâcarry the toy, enjoy the trail, and see as muchas possible. All in all, Monkey D crushed 5 miles like it was nothing.
