Spock on Vacation


We took Spock on vacation upstate New York. We stayed in a lovely bed & breakfast that took in dogs. When we arrived at the b&b it was just like the pictures on the website but better http://www.creeklocksbedandbreakfast.com/. It was absolutely quaint and homey feeling. We felt very comfortable and welcome by Kate & John who run the b&b. Spock seemed a little frantic at first because he needed to acclimate himself to his new surroundings but he did very well making himself comfortable.

As soon as we arrived we were off to Minnewaska State Park Preserve with Spock. We walked the red trail which was 1.9 miles around the lake. It was hilly, so when Spock would get tired Agui would carry him up the hill and then set him down to walk again. By the end, all three of us were exhausted and we headed back to the b&b to sleep. Spock went right to sleep for the rest of the night.










The next morning we were up and had fabulous buckwheat pancakes with bacon. The food was outstanding. In the morning Spock had a friendly visitor named, Zaida. She is a beautiful rescue dog that had just come from a 6 mile run and still had energy to burn. Zaida ended up wearing out Spock for the rest of the morning.


Since Spock was exhausted after playing we decided to head over to the Vanderbuilt estate. We took the 1 hour tour and headed right back to the b&b to retrieve Spock. Kate told us that he did great and didn´t make a sound. We were so proud of him. He really is a fabulous dog.

Kate & John recommended a wonderful restuarant called, Harvest Café http://www.harvestcafenp.com/ that takes dogs and has a doggie menu. Of course this was a must go to place, pet friendly and a meal, how can you go wrong? The restaurant was lovely, we sat outdoors and they brought a doggie treat for Spock along with water. We ordered chicken for him because that´s his favorite. It was a wonderful little place and it was a great experience for us to be able to have him dine with us.





Overall, I would say Spock had a great vacation as did we.
