We've been heading up to the mountains a lot for the last couple of months. Guinness loves to explore the trails we hike along up there. She's good about staying close. I just read an article about the animals that frequent the area and don't think she'd win a contest with a bear - even if she thinks she tough.
Our last trip included a stay at a dog friendly place that had llamas! She was not at all sure what to make of them. They were a lot bigger than she was. She also was slighly intimidated by a pair of boxers that were very rampunctious. Her alpha status was on hold for a while.
We travel with Guinness all the time and Dog Friendly.com is a great source for information on dog friendly places to stay and things to do. California is getting more and more dog friendly but it's not always easy to find a restaurant or a hotel she can go to. Dog Friendly has been so helpful in traveling with Guinness and we were even able to take her to San Francisco and Mendocino.
