Si is about 45 minutes from Seattle in the Cascade Mountains. Views from the tip include Puget Sound, Cascade Mountains, Seattle and the Snoqualmie River Valley. Wikipedia says about 80,000 to 100,000 people visit the Mt. … [Read more...]
No, I did not get poo on my hand again. Last weekend we got two special treats. We had an Adventureweiner friend, Spartacus, come and stay with us. We also had a rare winter (weekend) day of sun and clear blue skies. It was the perfect recipe for a hike so we loaded our gear and the dogs in the car and headed to Poo Poo Point. Poo Poo Point is a grassy knoll on Tiger Mountain where local … [Read more...]

The most important ingredient to a happy snowshoeing dog versus one that has a miserable time is warmth…followed closely by being dry. Smaller dogs aren’t able to generate as much of their own body heat as big dogs. Also, because smaller dogs are closer to the ground, the cold radiating up from the surface chills them. To make sure Gretel and Chester stay cozy warm, they wear … [Read more...]

He has a manager that does his writing for him … [Read more...]
This is the third installment in the Snowshoeing with Your Small Dog 101 Series. Snowshoes are designed to increase the surface area of your feet and keep you floating on top of the snow, while still providing traction and stability. Today I am going to tell you about snowshoe features, how to pick the right ones and where to get them. Like last week when I told you about what you should wear … [Read more...]
When I lined out the Snowshoeing with Your Small Dog 101 series, I planned to address gear and snowshoes towards the end. It was clear by your questions that these two subjects were what you were itching to know. You asked me several questions about what you needed to wear and how to pick the right snowshoe. I decided to rearrange the order of my posts to answer your most burning questions … [Read more...]

You have heard us go on and on about how ingrained the stereotype of small dogs is – of how they are often underestimated and are capable of so much more. We even wrote a guest post about it over at Will My Dog Hate me? We get really excited every time we see a story about another small dog proving the world wrong. On our blog we share our stories and talk about the miles we have hiked … [Read more...]
