This week seems like an excellent time to talk about some good places to take your dog when there is literally so much snow you can’t even.

Okay, all you Dartmouth haters. It’s time to face facts. Dartmouth (and downtown Dartmouth in particular) is undergoing a revival. And it’s not hard to see why. We have the best view, the best people and one of the best places for an urban dogventure.

The Ins and Outs of Sandy Lake Park

Sandy Lake Park was one of the last year-round officially off-leash destinations on our “to do” list. An extra-long weekend seemed like the perfect opportunity to check this one off. So on Monday, after our much-loved Easter guests had departed and the house was feeling a little too quiet, we headed for Sandy Lake Park in Bedford. Continue reading →
