Travel Toronto, Ontario: Winter Woofstock Lets the Dogs In!
If you don’t understand why people dress their dogs in coats, sweaters, bows and fairy wings, then maybe Winter Woofstock isn’t for you. (Ok, I could go either way on the fairy wings too). But not the jacket, sweater and bows… Welcome to Winter Woofstock! (If it seems to come on the heels of Summer Woofstock, […]

Travel Oxford County, Ontario: Ain’t Nothing Like a Pound Dog
NOTE: The Second Annual Pound Dog HOWLER Fun event is November 6, 2016 at the Snyder’s Farm, Ayr, Ontario. 10:30 am to 2:30 pm. There’s a haunted house here? Ok, this is my kind of farm. I’m at Snyder’s Family Farm in Ayr, Ontario on another adventure with my schnoodle Victor. But we’re not here […]
Travel Guelph, Ontario: Appreciating Art the Dog Way at the old/new sculpture park
It was a great idea to take my schnoodle Victor to the outdoor art park … until it wasn’t. (My apologies to artist John Greer – apparently his three large stone ‘Grains of Wheat’ to a dog looks like, well three large rocks.) We’re hanging out at the Guelph Art Gallery (formerly the McDonald Stewart […]
Travel Haldimand, Ontario: Dog-Friendly Creepy Caledonia
Victor the schnoodle got his Scooby Doo on during our Creepy Caledonia haunted tour in Caledonia, Ontario. This time without any meddling kids, or ghostly sightings. But he sure loved travelling in a pack, sniffing downtown streets along with Sasha – who actually resembles the cartoon Shaggy companion – and a new friend brought along for the […]
Travel Door County, Wisconsin (Part III). Who has a doggy menu?
“We added steak and mashed potatoes to our dog menu recently,” says Harbor Fish owner Karen Berndt, adding the doggy menu is a ten-year-old idea. “I can’t believe how many people are ordering it. We had a table with two dogs yesterday order two,” she laughs. “This is good steak,’ I thought.’ I eat that.’ But it’s selling.”
Dog-friendly Toronto, ON: Who Let the Dogs Out? Woof Woofstock Pet Festival!
The minute we entered our 19th floor room at the Chelsea Hotel on Gerrard Street in Toronto, Victor bee-lined for the desk. “Wait a minute,” I yelled as he dragged me in before I could get his leash off. He’d found it. We’d booked a bring-your-canine-buddy suite (for $35 extra) and waiting in the room […]
Travel Hamilton, Ontario: Victor Does Supercrawl
Victor is an arty dog … well, not really but he does love crowds, energy and activity, and I like arty stuff. So this past weekend we headed to downtown Hamilton for James Street Supercrawl. If you live near Hamilton, Ontario, Canada (and even Toronto), you’ve likely heard enough about Supercrawl. If you don’t, you’re […]
Travel, St. Jacobs, Ontario: Riding the Waterloo Rails
“Does your dog do anything?” growled the conductor of the Waterloo Central Railway when he punched my ticket. Me and my schnoodle Victor are at the St. Jacobs, Ontario station ready to board a tourist-focused heritage train that takes people 45-minutes away, then back again. According to the website (in 2018), well-behaved pets are welcome […]
Port Burwell, Ontario: Leash Free Dog Friendly Beach. Hurray!
We have a winner! So far, Port Burwell Provincial Park is my favorite conservation area dog beach. A free-run dog beach – awesome! Some people who live in other provinces (or likely states) might not understand my excitement.
