Description: The Adventures of Harley & Scooter
When we became beagle “owners,” one of the first comments we heard from a knowledgeable dog lover was: “Beagles are the ‘best bad dogs.’” If you’ve read any of DamnBeagles.com up to now, you have an idea what that means. The latest escapades of Harley and Scooter occurred while we were taking a 4th of July weekend vacation to Southern California, where the beagles nearly went on a long unsupervised side trip of their own.
Thanks to The Dog Lover’s Companion to California , we always stop at dog friendly places when we do a road trip with the beagles. It has everything from which hotels and restaurants accommodate four legged companions to which dog parks are the best. (Can’t just stop at the beach or in the country just anywhere these days.)
We went to a nice park called “ The Douglas Family Preserve ” in Santa Barbara, where there are acres of trails and dogs are mostly allowed off leash on all of them. Since our dogs are BEAGLES [yes, with capital letters], we had them on the leash the whole way. They still have a great time, but we don’t have to chase them down.
