Dog-Friendly Adventures in California
Welcome to Have Pupper Will Travel, a local travel blog about exploring California with dogs. I share some of our favorite dog-friendly places, from scenic trails and beaches to restaurants, breweries, and other spots where you can bring your pup along.
Archer and I shared so many adventures together, and those experiences inspired this blog. I still miss him and all the little moments that came with having him along. Esme came into our lives needing a home, and now she’s part of this journey, too. I’m grateful we get to give her a good life and share some adventures along the way.
