Fort Funston

It's no mistake that this place has FUN in it's name! Fort Funston was an amazing place with a ton of dogs playing together and running around off leash. We've never seen anything like it! 35+ acres of happy, playful dogs!

We got a chance to stretch our legs and run, and with over a mile of beach, it was easy to do. The waves were gentle so we even got to play in the Pacific Ocean. And what's better than rolling around after being all wet? Um, nothing! well, maybe some treats, but you get our point!

Getting down and dirty at Funston!

There were well over 100 dogs, but we only got the chance to meet a couple dozen. The dogs who can get a bit testy worse either soft muzzles or caged muzzles so everyone still got to play and have fun. After all, isn't that what dog parks are about? Having safe fun? We were sad when we headed back up the hill and to the car, we would have happily stayed all day.

Headed back.

Bay Area Pups!

Walking thru the sands of time.

That's right! Mom put us in our kennel, strapped us in, and headed Southbound on 1-5 to San Fransisco!!!  We vistied some family, strolled Pier 39,  enjoyed the wind in our face as we coasted down the twists and turns of  Lombard Street, but most important from our trip was the incredible 35+ acres dog park Mom and Dad found! It's ones of the best dog parks we've ever seen called Fort Funston.(we'll do a separate blog about that place! It deseves its own space!) We had a HUGE stretch of beach that was for dogs only with tons of sandy routes to take to get down to the water's edge. We even got to meet dozens of new friends! We even got to chase a ball with a pack of dogs. Can you tell we were excited about our new find?!

What's that fishy, loud thing?

We took in the stinky smells of the sea lions of Pier 39, and even shared some of Mom's yummy chowder. We even flew a kite with Mom and Dad and thought it was just the greatest! We were bummed when they took over the controls and didn't let us have them again.
