Intrepid Pup Tavish discovers the virtues of dog-friendly public gardens—from a horticultural grande dame to a public garden for each of the four seasons, “hand-picked” from Intrepid Pup’s travels over the past year.

Ahhh-zaleas!
In taking time to stop and smell the flowers at the U.S. National Arboretum, Intrepid Pup Tavish spies pieces of the Capitol without being on Capitol Hill, becomes immersed in a stunning and historic azalea collection, and gets nose to gill with some not-so-coy koi.
National Howl-iday Scene: Part III
Continuing on the howl-iday trail throughout the capital region, Tavish has an “illuminating” experience at the Washington D.C. Temple’s Festival of Lights.
National Howl-iday Scene: Part II
Intrepid Pup sends “Season’s Greenings” from the U.S. Botanic Garden, his personal pick-of-the-day for the best of the national “howl-iday” scene.
Monticello, Dogs, and the 4th of July
The Intrepid Pup visits Monticello and learns not only about founding father Thomas Jefferson but also the “shepherd’s dogs” that had run of the grounds.
