Labor Day Weekend Activities for You and Your Dog!

Here we are again.  The end of another summer and the last big holiday weekend to let us know it is the end of the summer.  I thought I would have a little fun with this blog with some ideas that you can do with your dog for this long weekend.  Remember, it is a holiday for your dog too anytime they get extra time with you!  Here is a list of things you might like to do.

1.  Bring yourself and your dog to a pet-friendly beach and let them play in the water.  What better way to enjoy the outdoors and still stay cool.  You can check out pet friendly beaches in your area through PetFriendlyTravel.com.  They do have listings for the U.S. and Canada.
2.  Bring your dog to a doggie park where they have a lot of room to run around and play with other dogs.  The social interaction with other dogs is great!
3.  You can go on a camping trip for the last long weekend of the summer.  It gives you and your pet a break from the norm and you get to be outside.  Again, if you visit PetFriendlyTravel.com you can find a nice listing of pet friendly campgrounds in the U.S and Canada.
4.  Take your best friend for a nice stroll around the neighborhood and let them spend a little extra time sniffing every blade of grass, lol.  Or, you can take on a little bit bigger adventure with a nice hike.
5.  Create a special dessert or main meal for your dog that is healthy but different from their every day food.  I have used the website allrecipes.com more times than I can count and they have some great and easy recipes for dog food and dog treats.

What do you think?  Not a bad list right?  Do you have any ideas that you can add to the list of things that you can do with your dog this Labor Day Weekend?  Please share.  We would love to hear from you and your ideas.
