Wish I'd known about this place before cancelling our reservation. Oh well, 8 to 9 hours is a long drive with a large dog. And we would be in our newer Honda and I am not crazy about him getting hair in that car. Anyway, I will keep this place you mentioned in mind. Looks like a great place, that was what I was looking for. I knew there had to be some place down there like that. What would a person do with their dog all day? Other than Frank Brown Park and the play area for them. He is so long haired he would not be able to stand it out all day. We could probably only manage him two or three hours out somewhere a day anyway. BTW, is that your cute poochy in the tux???
