The few times we’ve been on vacation with both dogs we really didn’t do anything except walk on the beach, which they totally loved.

I’m glad you all are enjoying your well-deserved vacation.

Unfortunately, we haven’t traveled much with Bella for obvious reasons but we do (usually) attend every local dog event we can with her through the summer. We also take her to a local ice cream stand any Sunday in the summer that’s not rainy. (They serve doggie ice cream for the pups.) It’s good experience for her and, of course, a sweet treat for us. 😉 We’re hoping to do more with her as we work on her reactivity.

I used to hike a lot with Beau and live vicariously through YDWWYW now. Love that blog.

This was so true with my bloodhound Fred who just passed. Anytime we went anywhere he was always being petted by other hound owners and that was always the first thing out of their mouths was about their dead hounds. I would just smile.
Now that Fred is gone I make it a point to never talk about him when I pet other hounds lol.

For the most part I think our dog just likes to be with us while doing something active. As long as we keep moving, she is perfectly content.

I suspect you have such good models because for every moment spent posing, your dogs get to do something they really like to do. 🙂

The Greyhounds in Gettysburg event always seems like so much fun. It makes me think there might be a market for a website that just lists dog-related events and festivals.
