Welcome!
We're so glad you're here!
Bert and Ernie are our Bernese Mountain Dogs. We live in Minneapolis and love exploring our region with the pups. You can count on us to share recommendations for weekend itineraries, dog friendly places to stay, and outdoor activities.
We're outside all year long, even in our cold Minnesota winters. Most weekends, you can find us going for a hike and checking out a local brewery. So far, we've visited more than 60 of Minnesota's state parks! In the summer, Bert and Ernie are often in and around the water swimming, paddleboarding, kayaking, or boating with us. In the winter, we take them along on snowshoe hikes.
Click in to the blog to find dog friendly road trip ideas, outdoor adventures, Midwest weekend inspiration, and more!

Crisp fall days and leaves call for crispy beers on the deck when the hard work is done 🍻

![We found a park that has something for everyone!
📍 Lake George Park - St. Cloud, MN [hosted]
Right in the heart of the city, this park has walking trails around a pretty lake with paddle boats and kayaks available for rent. We liked relaxing on the big grassy lawns, and there’s a great playground for the littles. In the summer, catch a concert at the outdoor stage on Wednesdays or puddle-jump at the splash pad!
Dogs welcome on leash. Please pick up after your pal! 🐕🦺
