Dog-Friendly Fall Activities

Dogs. Pumpkin Patches. Orchards. More Dogs! Don’t leave your dog at home this fall.

It's officially autumn and while the temperatures haven’t quite caught up to the calendar, time to get outside and do all of the fun fall things! 

If you're like us and most other crazy dog moms, you're hoping to get your pup to a pumpkin patch or maybe an apple orchard to catch some adorable #basic #fall pics for Instagram.
