Today was a bad day for losing things. We did laundry at a laundromat and a sock of mine went missing, shortly after, we realized that Laila was no longer sporting the @muttcloth bandana shown in this photo, which I'm super sad about. I loved this one on her so much. 😭 . I don't often misplace things, so I tend to go nuts when something goes missing. I search and search until I find it. Especially when we are traveling because I know everything has its place. . What about you? Are you notorious for losing items or do you always know where everything is? . . . . . #optoutside #forceofnature #weeklyfluff #bestwoof #hikingdogsofinstagram #hikingwithdogs #dogsthathike #dogsonadventure #campingwithdogs #podenco #podencoandaluz #sonyalpha #bealpha
I'm not quite sure how to refer to Riia in terms of how we acquired her. . I had supplied a bio for something the other day and changed Sora's name to Riia's, so it read, "their two rescued dogs Laila and Riia." . That wording didn't seem right. . Riia was from a breeder originally, and we didn't get her from a shelter, so did we really rescue her? If they had gone through a shelter, sure, but they didn't. Does leaving out the middleman really change things? . Did we adopt her? I think so. So she's adopted, but not rescued? It's confusing. . What would you say? . . . . . #optoutside #takemoreadventures #campingcollective #outdoorculture #rescuedogsrock #liveyouradventure #letscamp #greettheoutdoors #takemoreadventures #liveadventurously #beanoutsider #livewildbefree #liveoutdoors #campingwithdogs #thestatelyhound #bestwoof #weeklyfluff
If you could go to any where in the world with your dog (restricted areas included), where would you take them? . We've done a lot of travels with ours, of course, but I think I'd want to go back to Peru and do the Huayhuash Circuit. Or maybe a hut to hut trail running adventure in the Pyrenees... . Check out Laila's new collar and her tag from @akitahandmade! She just released a lot of fun designs and colors for tags, leashes, and leashes. Head to her "Alpha" highlights for discount codes. . . . . . #dogsonadventures #exploremore #getoutside #forceofnature #podenco #podencomix #mydogismy #adventuretogether #beachtime #beach #weeklyfluff #bestwoof #doggo #dogsofinstaworld
Monday had better not mess with this little hyena. . Except it totally did today. . Raise your hand if you're the supposed dog travel expert who didn't do their homework and got denied entry to the UK this morning. 🙋🏻‍♀️ . Yeah. That's us. Our ferry left without us. Which was especially disappointing since we got up at 4:50am to catch it. . We had to redo the dogs' anti-parasite meds and sort out a situation with Riia's rabies vaccination. . We shall go for attempt #2 tomorrow (at a later hour). Wish us luck! . . . . . #brexitheadsches #brexit #dogsonadventures #mondaymood #podenco #podencomix #sonyalpha #bealpha #weeklyfluff #bestwoof #travelwithdogs #campingwithdogs #mydogismy #kurgotogether
Riia's Mother's Day gift to me was an all night pukefest. . Nothing makes you feel more like a mom than having to stay up all night with a sick kid. At least that's how I felt when poor Riia kept me up most of Friday night (fortunately we were in a hotel and not the van!). . My shining moment was catching her puke in a bag during the Uber ride back to our van. Kudos to Riia for being absolutely silent and giving me body signals she was about to hurl. Driver had no idea what was going on. . She's much better today and back to her usual self, thankfully. . #sponsored by @zukespets #ZukesPack #LetsGoZukes #LiveLifeOffLeash
After checking out a couple camping spots one evening, we finally landed on this spot. While walking the dogs along the river path, we happened upon this giant chateau built over the river. . A brief Google search told us that we were seeing, Château de Chenonceau, a very famous castle in the Loire Valley. I love when slow travel takes you places you never knew existed or wouldn't otherwise know about! . What do you like about slow travel?
We've been driving long, long days to reach Paris in time to meet my parents. They're going on a dream trip to Africa and scheduled a long stop over to see us on the way. . Though we're tired from the drive when we stop for the day, what I do appreciate are our golden hour walks where the lighting is just perfect. . Notice how my sunburst looks like a 💙?
There are so many dreamy rivers in France that are just begging me to go for a morning paddle. . Unfortunately, we didn't have enough room to bring our boards in the van. 😭 . I'm petitioning Dave for external storage so we can bring them next time!
The other night, we camped just outside of a city we've had our eye on since living in Spain. It's a Pyrenean mountain town near the French border. . While looking at the map for a good place to spend the night with access to trails, I noticed something that caught my eye. Something that told me we HAD to camp in a very specific spot. . That something was a little black triangle on top of a ridgeline. The name listed by that triangle was "Punta de Sora." . Of course we had to camp at the base. Of course we had to run to the top. . In the morning, we followed the dotted lines on the map on our phone, as the main trail did not lead us to Punta de Sora. . Eventually, we came upon a simple post surrounded by rocks emerging from the vegetation, indicating that we had reached our destination. . We took a few moments to think about Sora. A strip of images flashed through my mind. Before leaving, we each added a rock to the pile, setting aside LNT principles to honor our beloved dog.
You may never have thought about the importance of sun protection for dogs, but like humans, the sun can lead to damaging eye conditions and skin cancer. Read the article to see how you can prevent sun damage to your dog.
