Woof, Herky & Milton Roadtrip to New York CityFollow us around in a vlog today, while we drive from Montreal to NEW YORK CITY! We take the girls on a roadtrip down to the big city :D
We just love New York and we are in awe with the hustle and bustle each time. Love the vibe! For those who are wondering, we stayed at La Quinta Elmsford. It's dog friendly and off the actual island, which we personally love. It's calmer for the girls and we're about 40 minutes from downtown. We just drive in when needed :) Thanks for watching, we woof you! Herky & Milton DOG IQ TESTHow smart are Herky & Milton? We are testing our dogs' intelligence today with a dog IQ test featuring Herky vs Milton! We compiled six challenges from two different tests we found online for this video! Each of the challenges is tested on 3 points, for a total of 18 points. We invite all of you to put your pup to the test and share their score with us :D Here are the challenges: 1- Towel challenge Place a towel or blanket over your dog's head. Time how long it takes for your dog to get the towel off his or her head. Scoring: 3 points - if it takes less than 15 seconds 2 points - if it takes between 15 and 30 seconds 2- Treats under cups Lay out 3 bowls or cups on the ground. Place a treat under the cup while your dog is looking. Divert your dog's attention for a few seconds. When your dog gets back to the cups, do they remember where the treat is? Scoring: 3 points - straight for the treat 2 points - checks another cup before getting the correct one 1 point - checks both wrong cups before getting the correct one 3- Furniture challenge Find a piece of furniture in the house where your dog can fit his or her paws under, but not their snout. Place a treat under the furniture. How does your dog retrieve the treat? Scoring: 3 points - less than 60 seconds with paws only 2 points - less than 60 seconds with nose and paws 1 point - gives up 4- The Wall Find pieces of cardboard wide enough to create a wall, and tall enough to prevent your dog from looking over it. Place the cardboard in order to get a slit about 3 inches wide. While your dog is looking, throw a treat through the opening. How does your dog retrieve the treat? Scoring: 3 points - walks around the wall in 30 seconds or less 2 points - walks around in 30-60 seconds 1 point - tries to climb through or bulldozes through 5- Leash Challenge Pick up your dog's leash at a time of the day which is not a usual walk time. How does your dog react? Scoring: 3 points - immediately gets the hint / gets excited 2 points - you need to walk to the door for him/her to get the hint 1 point - does not understand 6- Treat under towel Place a treat under a blanket or towel. How long does it take for your dog to retrieve the treat? Scoring: 3 points - less than 30 seconds 2 points - 30-60 seconds 1 point - fails How did your pup score? :D Remember that if your dog scores low, it does not mean he or she is not intelligent. This challenge is for fun only and does not test everything. Besides, no need to be intelligent to give kisses and cuddles ;) Thank you guys for reading!

Any occasion is good really to bake for your dog at home. But on your dog's birthday, even a better occasion to get in that kitchen and whip up a nice treat for them :) Milton turned 2 on Sunday July 15 and we made things extra special by baking her a peanut butter pumpkin carrot cake! She of course shared with Herky :) This cake is super easy to make and contains ingredients good enough for you to eat! It's gluten-free and dairy-free and can be made vegan if you swap the egg for a flax egg. We also opted for organic ingredients as much as possible. Recipe for the birthday cake: Ingredients for the cake: 1/2 cup oat flour 1/2 cup brown rice flour ½ tsp baking soda ½ tbsp baking powder ½ tsp ground cinnamon 1 egg 1 tbsp maple syrup 1/3 cup shredded or grated carrot 1/4 cup canned or fresh pumpkin puree (NOT pumpkin pie filling!) 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce 1/4 cup natural peanut butter (without any added salt and sugar) 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk Ingredients for the peanut butter frosting: 1/2 cup of coconut yogurt 3 Tbsp natural peanut butter 2 Tbsp corn starch Steps: 1- Preheat oven to 350F 2- Line your cake molds with parchment paper and grease with coconut oil. We used 2 4-inch springform pans but you can use a larger mold or muffin tins for birthday cupcakes! 3- Combine dry ingredients in one bowl, and wet ingredients in another bowl 4- Combine wet and dry ingredients and mix until combined 5- Bake for 40 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean 6- While the cake bakes, prepare the frosting. Combine yogurt, corn starch and peanut butter and whisk until smooth. I started the process with a fork and finished with a whisk 7- Remove cake from oven and let cool completely 8- Ice cake and garnish with cookies or candles 9- Enjoy!

As you may know, we absolutely love dog beaches! One of our favorite things to do in Los Angeles, is to bring Herky & Milton to the beach. Our favorite one, is Huntington Beach Dog Beach. The main reason is because it's very clean and so beautiful! On our last trip, we visited Huntington Dog Beach about 6 times. A few things about Huntington Beach Dog Beach: Location: off the PCH between 21st Street and Seapoint Street Total area: 1.5 miles stretch of beautiful sand and ocean Opening hours: 7 days a week between 5 am and 10 pm Facilities: poo bags provided, public restrooms Rules: - Keep your dog within sight and under your control at all times - Dogs must be leashed when entering and exiting the beach - Pick up your dog's waste immediately and dispose appropriately - Do not allow your dog to chase and harass wildlife - No agressive dogs - No sick dogs, no female dogs in heat - No puppies under 4 months (for their safety, because they usually don't have all their shots) - Dogs must wear collars and tags - Up-to-date vaccination and licensing required* - Be courteous to other beach users *This is something odd, and we never brought Herky & Milton's documents with us, but I don't know if this is enforced. Be prepared :) Hope this helps you in your search of dog friendly activities! It's a beautiful, clean beach with stunning sunsets. Dogs like humans have a blast here.

Fairmont Grand Del Mar Dog Friendly Resort Review - San Diego
You probably all know that a few weeks ago, we were lucky enough to travel to California! It was our first trip with the girls by plane, and we had the best time ever. The girls were incredibly pleasant to travel with, and were definitely the center of attention in the airport.
We visited San Diego and while looking for dog-friendly hotels, stumbled upon the Fairmont Grand Del Mar. This gorgeous golf spa resort was voted as Trip Advisor's #1 Luxury Hotel in the United States! Needless to say, we absolutely wanted to come stay here.
Thank you so much to Amy and the entire team of the Fairmont Grand Del Mar for being such amazing hosts!
You definitely need a reservation for the Addison, and some suit-and-tie attire. The other restaurants, Amaya and Club House Grill are more casual and don't usually require a reservation.
- dogs under 25lbs
- 250$ per stay as cleaning fee
- dogs are allowed everywhere except food and beverage facilities, spa and pool areas
- dogs must be kept on leash at all times
- clean up after your dog (obviously!)
You can bring your dog to the restaurant and be seated on the patio! Otherwise, there is a beautiful trail around this 400-acre property where you can walk with your dog. Be warned though, it can be quite the long walk and it can get hot here!
If you have any questions about this establishment, leave them below and we'll answer them :)
Thanks for reading, we love you!

DOG ACTIVITIES TO DO IN HOLLYWOOD CALIFORNIA
We went to Shake Shack in Hollywood where they had a terrace and we were able to grab a bite with the pups! Starbucks will let your dogs in if they are service animals. It's kind of a grey zone whether or not emotional support pets can go in, but Herky, Milton and Bowie did! However, they will be able to get a drink with you on the outdoor seating area!
Shake Shack: 6201 Hollywood Blvd #104, Los Angeles, CA 90028, USA
Lake Hollywood Park: 3160 Canyon Lake Dr, Los Angeles, CA 90068, USA
Healthy Spot: 12205 Ventura Blvd, Studio City, CA 91604, USA
Thanks for watching!
Woof,
Herky & Milton
