We have continued with the same set-up, so as not to confuse things for our many, dedicated, readers. Please, again, observe that each vacation destination is broken into four sections. First, being an explanation of each vacation location. Second, is the description of the vacation rental our family will happily be staying at. Each family member will have their own sleeping quarters. Other amenities are included. I have, in addition, added a personal saying to each description and do hope you take a moment to enjoy my own impression of each place. The 3rd page stays committed to each specific location with 3 dog-friendly activities, 1 dog-friendly eating site and 1 unique dog feature about the vacation spot. I do, as always, end every section with a map from our home city of Hortonville, Wisconsin to each destination. This includes miles driving, hours on the road,

From listening to everyone, it sounds like there will be everything we need for a perfect vacation there. We can play outside, go swimming or fishing, cook meals on a grill or firepit and if by chance it rains, there is a theater room or an enclosed porch. Everything we need and more will be there! ”

Chapter 2: NO SNARLING ALLOWED! YOU ARE GOING TO MALIBU, CALIFORNIA

“With nearly three-dozen beaches to choose from”, Malibu, California is “a beach-lovers (and dog-lovers) dream.” This “small town” nestled between the Santa Monica Mountains and the Pacific Ocean Coast, is a “tourist destination.” Come spend your vacation there, with your dog, and enjoy not only the ocean but hiking through hills and canyons. With all Malibu has to offer, it will be very “tough to drag yourself (and your dog) away from” there.

As there is a deck, Brooke can relax on the outdoor furniture and enjoy the sun. With no public access to the beach, Gage will have privacy on both his AM and PM runs. Mom, most likely, will be sitting on the patio, reading one of her books, while Dad will love being outside, as he cooks yummy meals on the outdoor gas grill.

Chapter 3: DOGS WILL WAIT FOR YOU FAITHFULLY. SO, THEY DESERVE A VACATION TO PENSACOLA BEACH, FLORIDA

Join “visitors from all over the world”, who come, with their dogs, to enjoy “an average of 325 days of sunshine per year,” that is filled with “endless opportunities of fun and relaxation.” At the “western tip” of Florida, stretching more than 18 miles along the Gulf of Mexico, Pensacola Beach offers both beach lovers and dog lovers “crystal clear waters” to play in and “sugar-white sand beaches” to play on. That is not all you and your dog will find there, as “there is no better way to start each day than (seeing) a beautiful sunrise along the Gulf Coast” and then going on a hike on their dog-friendly trails. Nothing beats this “ideal (vacation) location for (your) family” and your dog.

Kicking Horse is, also, the name of the mountain resort that we will be able to view from all upstairs vacation home bedrooms and where we will be able to hike on dog-friendly mountain trails at. In addition, Kicking Horse is a river that descends swiftly from the ice fields of the Canadian Rockies, into Golden, and that we will be able to walk over using the Kicking Horse Pedestrian Bridge, which is the longest freestanding timber frame bridge in Canada. After hearing all that, I was good and, now, know we are going to have a really Kicking time there.”

At this vacation rental, I will be able to fetch balls on the 50 acres. I am sure Rachel will toss a few into the properties ponds and I can retrieve them. I bet Brooke will bring a couple balls along, to play with, when we walk the dog-friendly trails here. But, I will have to promise not to steal the balls when Dad and Gage have a ping pong competition. Then, when Mom is reading her book on the porch, I will just relax, being done with all of my ball fetching. This will be a dream vacation for me.”

Chapter 24: DOGS BRING OUT THE GOOD IN US. SO, BRING THEM TO EUGENE, OREGON

“There are only a few places in Oregon where you can see 11 waterfalls along one trail”. Eugene is one of those places. Eugene, Oregon, a “year-round destination,” located in the south end of the Willamette Valley along the “scenic” Willamette River is “noted for its recreational opportunities”. With “extensive”, dog friendly, parks and path systems, it is no wonder Eugene is “A Great City for the Outdoors.” Make this “friendly” city the next vacation spot for you and your dog.

I think we will find it is the best when we are outside enjoying all the dog-friendly trails. It will be the best for Rachel when she is playing basketball, with me, outside on the rental home’s private basketball court. Brooke will call this place the best when she and I are watching our favorite movies, in the Home Theater Room. Gage and I will go jogging in the vacation home’s “quiet neighborhood” feeling that it really is one of the best places ever to go for a run. I will really love sitting out on the deck, when Dad is cooking one of his best meals on the grill. Mom definitely will call this vacation the best ever, as we all will have the best time ever.”

Though, the island is “only 2 x 4 miles”, there are many trails for Gage and I to do our morning and evening runs on.
