| Autumn Fun Sure you love spending time with your four-legged friends playing fetch in the back yard or wrestling on the living room floor. But wouldn't it be nice to venture out into the world? Imagine how bored you would get if you spend every hour of every day hanging out at home. Most dogs (and some cats) really enjoy a change of scenery from time to time. The weather is nice here in Tucson and its a great time to get out and about with your four-legged friends. But what to do? Well here are some ideas: 1) Take a Hike: The weather has cooled down and we are fortunate enough to live in a beautiful area with access to lots of hiking. Hiking with your dog can be a lot of fun. Make sure you do your research. Unfortunately, many of the trails around Tucson are off-limits to dogs. Check out the Sierra Club website for dog-friendly hiking trails http://arizona.sierraclub.org/trail_guide/DOGSNDX.HTM . Just remember that there is still hazardous plant & wildlife out there and it is always advisable (and often required) that you keep your dog on a leash. Don't forget to take lots of water for yourself and your pets & and its always best to hike with a two legged buddy or group as well 2) Join a club: There are a number of breed oriented meet-up groups in Tucson which provide people an opportunity to just hang out and relax with other dog lovers. If you're interested in something with a little more structure consider joining a training group or sport like flyball or agility. Whether for basic obedience or competition, training serves to strengthen the bond you have with your four-legged friend and can be a lot of fun too. 3) Take your dogs to lunch: Feeling a bit lazier? Take your four-legged friends, and perhaps some two-legged ones, out for lunch. One of my favorite weekend activities is to round up Shadow & Yukon and meet friends for lunch or coffee. Most restaurants with outdoor seating will allow you to sit on the patio with your pets. Just make sure they are well behaved, no one wants a strange dog's muzzle in their food. Its a good idea to call ahead and ask what the restaurants' policy is regarding pets on the patio. People are generally delighted to see well behaved dogs laying under the table and if you ask nicely the server will often bring a to-go box with water. A great alternative is to pack a picnic and head to you local park for some R & R with your pets, family, & friends. 4) Go for a drive: So what dog doesn't perk up at the words "go for a ride?" The weather is beautiful and getting cool enough to enjoy a long Sunday drive. Head up to Mt. Lemon or through Saguaro National park and enjoy the passing scenery. Mt. Lemon is also a great hiking destination. Unfortunately, dogs are not allowed out of the car in Saguaro. 5) Find a dog friendly event: Many of our local pet charities hold pet-friendly fundraisers. There are dinners like the Barkin Ball, marathons like the Canine Classic, and expos like the Arizona Animal Fair. All are a great way to spend time with your four-legged friends while helping out the less fortunate. For a look at whats coming up check out my event page at http://www.fourleggedphotos.com/tucsonevent.html . 6) Be picture perfect: Give me a call and set up a private photo session to capture that amazing bond you have with your four-legged friends. There are a variety of great locations around Tucson to choose from or of course I will come to your pets favorite hangout. And now is the time to book for holiday photos. Worried your dogs are not well-mannered enough? I recommend Desert Dogs Training http://www.desertdogstraining.com/. Always be respectful of others using public areas as well, respect leash laws, and be sure your pets are up to date on their vaccinations. So get your Four Legged Friends out of the house and start having some fun! And of course don't forget to take lots of pictures! |
