CONTEST #3: Canadian Pet Expo 2019 – Fun Finds and a Prize Pack too.
No Easter Bonnet for my dog … he’s sporting a sparkly new spring bee collar from Doggy Boutique. I’ve been shopping. Specifically, I’ve been shopping at the Canadian Pet Expo at the International Centre in Toronto near the airport. This annual expo is popular – so popular, that Airport Road was backed up for blocks […]
Part II: Mackinac Island, Michigan – Dog-friendly Horse-drawn Experience
If you haven’t ridden through tree-lined paths and along slopped streets in a horse-drawn carriage, then my dog Victor has one on you. Yes, horse-drawn carriage is the primary method of transportation on Mackinac Island in Northern Michigan where cars can’t go but many, many people do, especially in the summer. Many people and their […]
Part I: Mackinac Island, Michigan – Car-free Dog Paradise at Mission Point
“You can bring your dog in here,” the cashier says to me, after I’ve hooked him to the railing outside Boxwood Café at the Mission Point Resort. “Ok,” I think, “Mackinac Island, Michigan, is really dog-friendly.” So, Victor gets to come in while I select my box lunch … or in this case, dinner. In […]
Dog Skijoring – Seeing is Believing at Arrowhead Provincial Park
Just when you’re looking forward to spring … I bring you snow-covered images. But not any images – pics of dog skijoring. That’s right, dog skijoring. You cross-country ski with your dog tethered to you. I thought it was crazy until I saw it with my own eyes: a group of excited dogs actively trying […]
Maple Syrup Time at Mountsberg… with raptors and dogs, but not together
Spring’s almost here and that means two things: melting snow reveals and the stagnant smells hiding beneath, and Maple tree sap start flowing. The two are unrelated … unless you’re my dog. He spends more time on walks with his head down sniffing in circles than he does moving forward, and he gets to check […]
Recipe: Turtle Dog Treats with Coconut Milk
Recipe: ‘Turtle’ Dog Treats with Coconut Milk Coconut milk is fine for dogs to drink (or in this case, eat) and is a good substitute for dairy milk, which most dogs shouldn’t consume. Some sources suggest coconut milk helps a dog’s immune system and GI tract, but that’s still not conclusive. What is true is […]
Dark Dog Walking and other problems …. Meet niteyleash (review)
Iceland, land of fresh fish, volcanic landscapes, and charming ponies. I’ve visited once and dream of living there for a year – yes, just one year. However, I went to Iceland during the summer when light was an invigorating aura blanketing the capital of Reykjavik for almost twenty hours a day. (Dogtrotting.net was given a […]
Hot Dogs and A Cold Walk Along Confederation Park, Hamilton, ON
Ok, so -5 degrees Celsius might not seem like the ideal temperature to venture outside, but after several days of -15C and snowing, the sunshine today will pass as a beacon to bundle up the dogs and head lakeside. My aging dog Victor is slowing down – and tearing his other ACL (find out about […]
Cat Claims Gen 7 Pets Cool-Air Dog Cot. Dog watches. (review)
This didn’t go exactly as planned. But then again, what does? The minute it arrived at the door, I ripped open the box and set up my Gen7 Pets Cool-Air Cot Pet Bed to see if I could. (More on that soon). After meeting the company at SuperZoo last year, they sent me a pet […]
Travel: Charming Dog Sculpture of Brookgreen Gardens, Myrtle Beach, SC
Picture sprawling green grassland, stone walled gardens, cultivated flowerbeds and looming metal sculptured figures every 20 strides or so. Further away, a zoo of domestic 18th century farm animals roam behind fences, and waterfowl flitter about in the aviary. This is Brookgreen Gardens, a privately owned outdoor art park open to the public in Myrtle […]
