Foggy Mornings and Bay Trail Walks in Hercules
Hercules sits on San Pablo Bay, and forecasts here regularly call for patchy morning fog and a breezy west or southwest wind. Dogs get their outings on the San Francisco Bay Trail, where a mile-long section called Hercules Bay Trail West opened to walkers, cyclists and dogs, and at Refugio Valley Park, a wooded spot with a duck pond and a walking path. Older neighborhoods like Old Town and Olympian Hills sit more inland, while newer development, including Victoria by the Bay, hugs the water.
Salt air, fog and a damp breeze leave a dog's coat clingy and prone to tangling, and pond-side walks bring mud and wet fur. I come to your door with a self-contained van and groom one small dog at a time. That means a warm bath, a full dry, a brush-out, and trimmed paws and nails. The water stays in the van, so your carpets stay clean, and your dog heads back to a dry, fluffy and comfortable day.
