It took some creative thinking to figure out how to optimize the brief time we had in Paso with dogs that have way too many issues to contend with at a shop, winery or restaurant. There was a time when Scottie was relatively portable and managable. Not any more. And the other one, Lucky, fornget about it. He's a royal pain in the ass about strangers in the distance. I'm unwilling to leave them in the car out of fear that they will destroy the interior while scratching their way out. Fortunately, we did have an option, the same we have used at the same rental previously. There's a hallway here in which they can be closed, it's nicely situated where any barking is muffled enough to not be an annoyance to neighbors. Putting towels down helps with any accidents, and they are otherwise safe, secure and we can go do things without them. Short outings-an hour or two-seem reasonable. we made it work for Bella Luna, then again in the afternoon at Herman Story (where thier Syrah, "Nuts & Bolts", was the highlight of our tastings. And finally, after many years of desire to do so, Jen got to see "Sensori", the art exhibit. I was far more impressed by it than I could have expexted. It was really quite an immersive and sensory experience. I would definitely do it again.
