Muddy Point Isabel Dog Park Fun
Yesterday we headed over to Point Isabel Dog Park for some off leash doggie fun. Everything looked clear on our way over to the dog park but shortly after we got there the rain started to fall and the mud puddles began to grow. Usually our dog acts like he is going to melt in the rain but oddly enough he seemed unaffected! Maybe all the fun at the largest dog park in the U.S. got the best of him.
Captain had a great time playing with Trax, Keoni, Ziggy, and the rest of the SOMA Dogs. He also met a few new Vizsla friends. After all the fun it was time for a bath at Point Isabel's Mudpuppy's Tub & Scrub. We love the fact that this dog park has its own cafe, dog store, and dog wash.

Bay Woof Party at Stray Bar
Last Saturday we spent the day enjoying Bernal Heights Park and hanging out with the Bay Woof crew at Stray Bar. Bernal Heights is one of the most dog friendly neighborhoods in San Francisco. Cortland Street is packed with dog friendly spots and we saw dogs of every shape and size during our visit. It seems like most of the stores have water bowls out front or dog treats at the counter. We especially enjoyed our visit to Bernal Beast, where we bought a new leash, and Progressive Grounds, where we got a delicious tuna melt.
After our park time and shopping we headed to Stray Bar for the party to celebrate the Beast of the Bay awards. The party featured live music and an raffle to support the Hearing Dog Program. Some of the raffle prizes included a stay at The Inn at Schoolhouse Creek, Hearst Ranch Dog Food, and toys from Pet Food Express.
Be sure to check out the March issue of Bay Woof for the most dog friendly Bay Area businesses and locations. If you want an excuse to visit Stray Bar there is another dog friendly event on Feb 12 from 4-8 PM to benefit the Hearing Dog Program. For more great photos from the event check out our Flickr set.
Golden Gate Kennel Club Dog Show
This weekend was the annual Golden Gate Kennel Club Dog Show. We stopped in on Sunday and had a blast seeing all the dogs. When we arrived the arena was packed and everyone was watching the sporting group. All the dogs looked great, but the crowd went wild when the Vizsla went around the ring. Of course, we went wild too since we are proud Vizsla owners. After the Vizsla was selected best in group we took some time to wander around Cow Palace and check out all the dogs and vendors. We talked to lots of people, including The Rhodesian Ridgeback Rescue, Vizsla Club of Northern California, Great Life Pet Products, and Paco Collars.
We also met lots of great dogs including Bear, Bond, and Maverick, the number one Duck Toller. Check out some of the photos below or view the full dog show album on Flickr.
