Dog Friendly Cities Tail

Posted by admin on July 30th, 2010

If your looking to vacation with your dog, check out these top 10 dog friendly cities.

#1 San Francisco, CA

A transportation-friendly kind of town, you can take your dog on the cable cars with you to visit the waterside, where you will find plenty of pet-friendly patio restaurants. Lots of beaches and parks for you and your doggy to have fun, and don’t miss the Golden Gate Bridge, one of America’s celebrated man-made wonders, where you can take your dog along to share the lovely view of the colorful, hilly city.

#2 Austin, TX

Spend the afternoon at one of Austin’s off-leash parks and then take your dog on a chill walk along the water to see the Congress Street bats take flight at sunset before heading to one of the dog-friendly outdoor cafes in the neighborhood.

#3 Boston, MA

When you don’t feel like driving and parking, take your leashed dog onto the subway with you. Then relax and watch the world go by as you hop from place to place in this historic city by the bay. Visit the Freedom Trail, and see where one of America’s most famous protests took place at Boston Harbor.

#4 Northern Virginia, VA

Take your dog out on the water on a fun Canine Cruise. Plus, you’ll never go hungry again with a great choice of dog-friendly restaurants in Alexandria. If you still have plenty of time in your schedule for some historical sightseeing, you can ramble over to nearby Washington, DC.

#5 Portland, OR

First thing’s first. The beginning of any vacation should start with a relaxing drink, and the Lucky Labrador is just the place to serve it up. The Lucky Lab has three fresh brew locations that you and your pup can check out while you’re in town. Plus, make sure to visit the well-known Rose Gardens and the Saturday Outdoor Market.

#6 Charleston, SC

See this historic town in all its glory. Charleston has a number of tours that you can take your dog along to, including the Boone Hall and Magnolia Plantations. Or you can go on a ghost tour (don’t forget the Scooby snacks!), and wind down after a night of fright with a day of fun at the beach.

#7 Chicago, IL

Take advantage of this gorgeous city on the water by taking your dog on a Canine Cruise, or just hang out and be amused at Navy Pier. And you’ll have plenty of culinary delights to choose from with Chicago’s dog welcoming patio restaurants.

#8 San Diego, CA

Take your dog shopping with you at the Otay Ranch Town Center and hang out at the dog park after, go hiking or take your dog to one of the friendly beaches.

#9 New York, NY

Dog-friendly luxury hotels, Central Park, lower Manhattan, and the Brooklyn Bridge. Walk ’till you can’t walk no more!

#10 Ann Arbor, MI

Dog-friendly canoeing, gardens, and farms, and don’t miss Nichols Arboretum, the 123-acre botanical collection at the University of Michigan.

It was good to see  Portland, Or.  on the list. I was hoping to visit family and get out of this heat there.

*Would you call this bird watching?

That’s what Harley was supposedly doing. He looks a little to relaxed.

Have a great weekend!

Fishy Tail

Posted by admin on July 23rd, 2010

This is a tail of some fishy fish.

We have two Jack Dempsey fish.

Jack is the oldest- 3 years.

Chance is almost 2 and got his/her name because we didn’t think they would make it with Jack.

Chance has lost a fin or two from battling with Jack.

About two weeks ago, Chance was persistently nudging Jack for a few days.

Then both started moving rocks by mouth and overnight  formed this pit…….

I noticed a day later, when I went to cover the underground filter-there was a lot of yellow things on top of the filter.

Eggs?!?!?!

What a surprise.

Jack watched over them for a few days.

They started slowly disappearing every day.

I watched over them as well and never saw the fish eating them, so I think the filter got them.

Whoever said fish were bright?

After doing some research and a experiment with a mirror, I’ve found, I’m not the bright one when it comes to fish…Who’s the Female?

You got me! Do you have a clue?

Have a great weekend!

Rainbow Tail

Posted by admin on July 9th, 2010

I wanted to share these cute new food dishes that my husband picked out for Breeze and Harley.  We got them from Target for a $1.00 each.

They had double dishes before and what was the point? We never used one side of them.  He was also concerned with them eating easier without having there whiskers involved.

Can you tell which one is Harley’s?

This video made me laugh with joy. The man in it was obviously touched by nature profoundly.

Breeze was touched by him.

She tried to find him in the monitor..

And then she looked behind The monitor for him several times..

Bless her heart.

Have a wonderful weekend!
