Great Website to Support if You Like Walking Your Best Friend on the Beach!


It was a perfect day to go for a walk on the beach with Cello & my husband so we headed out to Jennings Beach in Fairfield. Jennings is one of the few beaches left where you can let your dog run off leash.

Cello was exploring, running and making friends, 4 and 2 legged alike when I was asked what kind of dog he was. Not unusual for sure, but one of the people was shooting tons of pics. After chatting for a bit I was handed a card for a great website...Fairfield Beach Access.

FairfieldBeachAccess.org is a site devoted to networking and sharing information to preserve and enhance the enjoyment of outdoor activities with your best bud. There is information on nutrition, how to find a holistic vet, a place if you've lost your dog and they even have a low tide calendar. There is a section devoted to Natural Toxins and Poisons and Hypothermia in dogs. They also feature wonderful photos of dogs running free that really capture the joy our best friends feel. Bravo!!!!

I signed up for their e-newsletter to show support of the phenomenal job they are doing. I am so happy that I was introduced to this site and thought that my fellow dog lovers would find it useful as well.

Enjoy the Outdoors with your Dog -- Even in Winter!

Beat those winter blahs and head outside with your canine companion. Sure, it's chilly, but the sunshine and camaraderie will give you, and your pet, a boost. In the short video below I share some of my favorite dog-walking spots in Fairfield County, CT.
