Mendocino Botanical Garden

On Friday we drove and drove and drove to the Mendocino Botanical Garden, which is unusual in that it allows dogs on leash within the garden. I adore botanical gardens, and I enjoy traveling and exploring with Dragon, so how could I resist?



It was a lovely place, with grassy paths by the entrance, giving way to gravel, and then to the natural landscape by the Mendocino cliffs.



Dragon wore a dashing new harness.



If I knew anything about conformation this photo might be useful? I can tell that he's funny-looking for a papillon -- long nose, long legs.



His expression in this photo cracks me up.



Fuschias.





As usual he was very curious about the water below the cliffs.

I was quite happy that Dragon did not get carsick despite the long drive through the hills. I gave him a dose of Dramamine before we left, but it seems that he's slowly becoming less prone to motion sickness.
