We drove up to Victoria Island (BC Canada) last weekend and the hotel was not only dog friendly (provided balls and chuck-its, poo bags, treats, beds, etc.), they had a nice stretch of beach that they could play on.

Here are a few fun pics.

Looks like your two had a blast! That hotel sounds wonderful!

The dogs look as if they enjoyed themselves!

How fun!! Tanner & I are very jealous!!

Fudgie is jealous of the freedom on the beach, and I am jealous of you being able to go to Victoria! I went on an Alaskan cruise a couple of years ago and we got to stop for one evening in Victoria. After seeing it, I wished that more time would have been allowed there. It is such a beautiful place! I was amazed that I did not see any trash on the roadways. Very clean and pretty. I did get to go to Butchart Gardens and do the evening tour. You and your cairns are so lucky. They seem to be screaming "Hot Diggety Dogs!"

i bet they slept like angels that night!!! so cool!!!

My three would've been in heaven! Glad yours got the fun time.

Sounds like a great place to take a holiday. Looks like your two really enjoyed themselves.

Wow! Those are happy cairns! Glad you had fun, looks beautiful.

jealous isn't the word!!! i would love to be there! so would all my boys.

xxxxxxx

Want to share the name of that hotel? It definitely is going on my list.

Yes! I'd love to know the name of the hotel as well. We are wanting to go up to Whidbey Island. While up that way might as well go up to Vancouver!

It's the Wickaninnish Inn. www.wickinn.com

I highly recommend it. It's in Tofino, on the far Western tip of Vancouver Island - basically the edge of civilization. Not easy to get to, but well worth the trouble.

It's an upscale hotel with beautiful views and they are absolutely wonderful about pets. They sent a reservation confirmation to the boys too. "Dear Angus and Mickey - we are looking forward to your visit with your humans..." Not only did we get the gift baskets with goodies I described, they had their own doggie towels and an area with a hand spray to wash the sand off the paws after the beach. Not that they liked being hosed off, mind you!

Here's another couple of photos.

Also, if you find somewhere on Whidbey, please PM me. I'd love to find a place like this that's closer.
