    No dogs, only cats, but I sure do love seeing other people's dogs having fun! Our girls are Miss Kitty (spoiled tuxedo), Mimi (black Savannah), and Lyla (much smaller black kitty).They wouldn't want the dog treats but they love kitty treats!

If your two doggos like to swim, we'd definitely recommend taking them to the Fort DeSoto dog beach someday. Those dogs there were in paradise!

    We have a German Shepard/Great Pyrenees mix and his name is Bear. We are going to be staying at the Orlando KOA but it is hard to find daycares that don't require the dog to be spayed/neutered so we have to reassess our extersions to be dog/kid friendly. So thankfully I came across your video so I know where we can visit so that we can bring our dog with us.

    What an awesome idea guys and a very creative way to celebrate the fact that your area is very dog friendly. Would have been a very interesting day chatting to all the owners and would have been hard to remember all their names..LOL
    Giving you some Aussie feedback....We have a similar store to your home Depot and it's called "Bunnings", very similar and it's definitely some where you can take you dog and I'm always seeing heaps there. Probably not that exciting for the dog, but at least you don't have to leave them at home while shopping for the do-it-yourself projects around the house :)
    I even managed to catch the dog right at the end spitting the treat out...Too funny and I guess he didn't want it HAHA

    • @Explorcation
      @Explorcation  Рік тому +1

      Wow thanks so much for paying attention all the way to the end! The dog spitting out that treat may have been my (Skylar) favorite part of the whole video, and I was wondering how many people would catch it! There were actually a few dogs that refused the treats as I was trying to give the last few away, but I think it was because it was so hot out those dogs had not yet had a chance to cool down in the water.
      It's interesting to hear that you have a store similar to Home Depot in Australia that also is super dog friendly! Even though we don't have dogs of our own, I think we'd still be more likely to go to a store that does typically have lots of dogs, as it would make the trip a bit more entertaining!
