This is a first for the Outdoors Forum, and about time at that. Let me introduce myself, your guest correspondent. The idea for this article came about during one of our regular ambles around San Diego. Gulp, the pressure. But first, the usual Forum Quiz.
Most pet folks know about Ocean Beach's Dog Beach.
You humans will probably chuckle as Sol shares his stories. Before I describe my favorite jaunts as well as those of my buddies, I want to recommend two excellent publications on this subject. The first is called Fido's Field Guide to San Diego. You'll need water, a 6-foot sturdy leash, basic first aid supplies, a visible ID tag, plenty of poop sacks and a thorough knowledge of the chosen area's rules regarding dogs. The second publication is a handy dandy map, published by Petlovers Publications, called, Your 2000-2001 Guide to Dog Walks, Beaches and Pet Services.
