Author’s Note

Hello again!

Welcome to the 4th magazine of WAGGERS WELCOME with, me, Luie Boone.

My Mom and I searched high and we searched low for more amazing dog-friendly adventures and once again, we succeeded.

We have continued with the same format.

Why? Because it works!

Each vacation destination is for a fourth time broken into four separate sections.

First, being an explanation of the location.

Second, is a description of the vacation rental our family will stay at. Each family member has their own sleeping quarters. Other amenities are, also, defined and I have, again, added a personal saying to each description.

Please, enjoy my expressions of each place.

The third page is devoted to each specific location with 3 dog-friendly activities, 1 dog-friendly eating place and 1 unique thing about the vacation spot.

I conclude the sections with a map from our home city of Hortonville, Wisconsin, to the destination. This includes miles driving, hours on the road, (courtesy of Bing Maps: “Bing Maps - Driving Directions, Traffic and Road Conditions.”

Bing Maps - Driving Directions, Traffic and Road Conditions. N.p., n.d.Web. 30 May 2015. https://www.bing.com/maps/.) Also, dog-friendly lodgings (if needed on the way) and my own pet peeve about the location are included.

I am still having fun discovering new dog-friendly places and really hope to visit each of them.

However, in the meantime, again, please enjoy my magazine!

Your friend,

Luie Boone

Chapter 4: I LOVE DOGS… THE END! AND WE LOVE SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH

Salt Lake City rests in a large valley in Northern Utah between the steep Wasatch Mountain Range on the east and the peaks of Oquirrh Mountain Range on the west.

Bring your dog here to enjoy the great outdoors with tons of beautiful parks and dog-friendly recreation areas.

“Salt Lake City combines a (major) metro area with an opportunity to take advantage of year-round outside activities within minutes in every direction.”

While you are there you owe it to yourself and your dog to at least touch the waters of the Great Salt Lake.

This would work great for my cousin, Lincoln, as he does not care to venture far in water.

There is friendliness in this quaint, mountain town that is sure to satisfy all outdoor lovers.

Luie says: “When we heard that Mom and Dad were planning a vacation to an Island, we were all really excited.

Then, we learned that the Island had guidelines for vacationers and were worried, but, however, were nicely surprised by how easily the guidelines would be to abide by.

For example: the roads are all private with a speed limit of 25 miles per hour, this works great as taking me for a walk and Gage going for a run can be safely done.

Another: excessive loud noise that interferes with others is prohibited; which is ideal for Rachel as she will love peace and quiet when she sits by the ocean to write her stories.

This also applies to loud music which will not bother Brooke as she will listen to her tunes thru her ear buds while relaxing on the vacation home’s deck.

LUIE’S PET PEEVE ABOUT ESTES PARK THAT WHEN THE SEPTEMBER 2013 FLOOD HIT ESTES PARK, MANY EVACUEES THOUGHT THEY HAD TO LEAVE THEIR PETS BEHIND. (THE FACT ACTUALLY WAS THAT THE MOTTO ‘NO PETS LEFT BEHIND’ WAS MADE, IN COLORADO DURING THIS FLOODING, AND SOME HELICOPTERS RESCUED MORE PETS THAN PEOPLE!)

Everyone is crazy happy that they will each have their own bedroom.

I am sure Rachel, Brooke and Gage will go berserk when they see the rec room with both a pool table and air hockey table.

Mom will flip out as there is a porch swing where she can relax and read her book.

I will try not to go cuckoo if I see, from the deck, the herd of elk that recently migrated to the area.

Dad is going to be delirious that he will be able to cook out on both a gas grill and a camp fire ring, I am going bonkers waiting to go there!”

LUIE’S PET PEEVE ABOUT MAGGIE VALLEY THAT MANY DOGS ARE BEING EUTHANIZED BECAUSE THEY ARE UNWANTED, PRODUCE TOO MANY PUPPIES, AND OTHER REASONS FROM THE OWNERS RANGING FROM “THE OWNER DIED”, TO “THE DOG CAN’T HUNT”.

MOST OF THESE DOGS ARE HEALTHY AND ADOPTABLE. (THIS IS SO WRONG AND I GIVE A BIG THANK YOU TO AN ANIMAL WELFARE ORGANIZATION THAT IS MAKING A HUGE DENT IN THE NUMBER OF DOGS THAT ARE BEING EUTHANIZED,

BY TAKING THE TIME TO TRANSPORT THE DOGS UP NORTH TO BE ADOPTED BY SUITABLE HOMES.)
