Maybe the weather decided not to cooperate on your day off? Whether it’s colder than you prefer or just a dreary, rainy day I can guarantee your dog would love to cuddle up for a movie day! The Call of the Wild just came out starring Harrison Ford. This heartwarming remake is perfect for a day in.
Almost every dog would absolutely love a good hike, and it’s good for you to! Dogs benefit from having new trails to sniff and the exercise of a hike! Between the mental and physical stimulation your dog will receive, he or she is bound to be one happy pup at the end of the day! Check out a few of these trails and let us know what you liked most!
