Sharks are amazing animals and they have fascinated people for decades.  Researchers have studied and  cared for them, observed them in the wild and in the deep sea.  Sharks are very important to our Eco system.  A healthy ocean has lots of sharks!

ABC’S of the Monterey Peninsula ~ “D” is for DOGS!

ABC’S of the Monterey Peninsula 

“D” is for Dogs

I’m sure every dog who lives on the Monterey Peninsula with their “person” feels like they have died and gone to heaven!   The Dogs on our beautiful Peninsula come in all sizes, shapes, colors, and temperaments.  Whether it’s  . . .

Cute and cuddly

or large and sleek,

dogs rule the roost on the Monterey Peninsula.  Carmel, for instance, has been voted the most “dog friendly” town.  Everywhere you go whether it is to the beach, a bank, a restaurant with a patio

or even a real estate office

you will see dogs – sometimes they even sit for a spell!

Shunned in some areas dogs are given more attention here than people.  If you want to meet new friends, just get yourself an adorable dog and walk down the street.  You will make friends wherever you go,  because people will stop you on the street and ooh and ah over your pooch.  In fact they will ask you all about your dog and want to know every detail of his life and his eating habits.

At our Carmel Realty Company real estate office on Ocean Avenue in Carmel I watch not only streams of people going by,  but streams of dogs.  And sometimes they’ll even pose for a photo!

We love all kinds of dogs here, Golden retrievers, poodles

pugs,

cocker spaniels, and of course the lovable mutts that are “mixed breeds”.  Sometimes they are the most lovable of all.

Sometimes we even build them fancy homes.

If you’d like visit the Monterey Peninsula and stay overnight accompanied by your doggie, have no fear, there are plenty of hotels to choose from like these Lodgings in Carmel .

Cypress Inn in Carmel-by-the-Sea

The Cypress Inn located in Carmel was a pioneer in pet-friendly lodgings.  The hotel until recently was co-owned by our beloved Doris Day who passed away in 2019.  A true dog advocate.

I could go on and on about the benefits of being a dog here.  Wherever your dog will wander there will be an array of water bowls, dog treats, and amenities to make sure he/she is comfortable and pampered.  If he is stressed he can visit a dog psychologist or have a nice massage.  Or perhaps a surf lesson to let it all hang out!

Carmel Beach is the place to romp in the surf with no leash laws.  Let’s play!

Yes, this is truly Doggie Heaven!
