🐾 Milo’s Pick: November Yappy-Hour

Leash up your pup and join the crew for Monday Yappy Hours at The Eight in Tool!

📅 When: Every Monday in November
📍 Where: The Eight at Tool Park (walk starts at the food trucks)
🕕 Time: 6:00 PM

The evenings are cooling down, and there’s no better way to start the week than with a relaxed walk and some dog park time. We’ll stroll the loop together, passing the butterfly garden and fishing pond, then head to the dog park so the pups can run, play, and catch up with their buddies — because dogs deserve a social life too. 🐕

🪑 Bring a chair if you plan to hang out at the dog park for a while — benches are limited, and we usually visit for about an hour while the dogs burn off that Monday energy.

🐾 All friendly dogs (and their humans) welcome!

✨ One Last Thing...

Life at the lake isn’t about doing it all — it’s about enjoying it all.
