Part II: A Ton of Aminals in Carmel!

After our pawesome boat ride, we took a bazillion zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzs. Next mornin', we headed out for Pacific Grove... where Dad and Mom had yumzers and ginormous breakfasts! (we got to taste some!) Then, we headed out on Sunset - sorta like a 17-mile drive in Pacific Grove, only better in a lot of ways! We saw deer, squirrels, lots of birds and a few pinnipeds hee hee! (Seal-types!)

The major part of this post is in our photoshow - we hope you take a look at it, especially if you're thinkin' of visitin' this area - it's amazingly special! We found a wonderful offleash dog park - see the note to us doggehs below! Please biggify for better viewing! Press ESC to leave show after viewing!



We're having probs again with posting youtube here, so... to see a very short movie of Avalon checking something out, click here ...and, for a longer movie of barkin' sea doggehs, check this one out! We want to go back here very much - maybe we'll get to see some of you doggehs here too!

What a great weekend!!!! Would have loved to see your reaction to the barking dog-seals :) Don't know what I would have done! The parks, and area look lovely, and like a perfect weekend get-away!
Hope we can make a trip that way one of these weekends as well :)
And...another play date around here sometime soon?

Sweet hugs,
Sierra Rose

Woo, Avalon! Those are called "horsies"! We see them at our park sometimes and they leave nice, stinky stuff you can try to roll in!
Mom just LOVED the barking sea lions vid! She and Dad loved their time in Monterey and loved watching your slideshow!
Luv,
Dave

Aw, those seals! Mum really liked them. Thanks for sharing all the piccures. What a great place. We love the dog sign too!

Aww, Avalon, those are just the Big Dogs, the really big ones:) We have never seen any that close either, so we might be a little bit scared too.

We just loved the photoshow - you are so right about watching in full screen. Awesome photos of a beautiful place. Mom says she is going to put Monterey and Carmel on her list of places to see.

I LOVED your slide show! I love the baby seals (I have never seen any of those before), Bird Rock with the waves, and of course, that dog park! Wow - what fun!

Your pal, Pip

"A-feared" of big dogs? We love the big dogs who live next door to us. They should be back in the pasture any day now (they are actually moved off the mountain each winter because of the cold and nasty weather).

Thanks for all of the pictures of the area. We love that place!

OOh, Sammie & Avalon- I've really enjoyed coming along with you on your trip to Carmel! Those whales are amazing and that sign is a great idea - I think ALL dog parks should have one!!

What a great time you had - fantastic photos!

Barb said...

Wonderful video and photos of the sights along 17 Mile Drive and Carmel. It's so green there at this time of year. I liked your portrait at Lone Cypress Point. (I have mine taken there, too, but don't look nearly so good as you two!)

Homer said...

Hi Sammie and Avalon,

That looks like a fantastic place to go and, I love the 'Bad dog Report' sign. I think it's a wonderful idea!

Love,
Homer

Augie and Ti's mom said...

"A Bad Dog Report"--too funny! You guys have the best lives!

Unknown said...

Very nice journey you had and you can see from the sign that they trust the true responsibility of us dogs.

And all the animals you saw sound great!
