    If you have a dog, have ever loved a dog, or have ever had to say goodbye to your soul dog, you…read moreneed to visit Dog Mountain. Dog mountain sits on over 100 beautiful acres overlooking the Vermont hills. The open fields, ponds and walking trails are made for dogs to explore freely and watching the dogs run across the grass with pure joy feels like a part of the art itself. You can really feel the love here. We arrived midday and I had intended to view the chapel and then take my dog hiking on the grounds, but I ended up spending so much time in the chapel that it was close to sunset by the time we left. From the outside, the chapel is simple and charming, but inside it absolutely overwhelmed me. The walls are completely covered in handwritten notes, photos, drawings, and memorials left by people honoring the dogs that they've loved and lost. I spent over an hour inside reading story after story. I smiled at the sweet memories and cried at many of the goodbyes. I sat in the pew with my sweet dog on my lap and felt the weight and beauty of how much these animals mean to us. Afterwards, and we headed back outside and met a few new dog friends. Then we headed to the gift shop and gallery. The space is full of Stephen Huneck's work, including prints and wood carvings and tons of other stuff like dog accessories, plushies and even furniture. The woman who works in the gift shop was warm and welcoming and absolutely loved the sweater that our fur baby head on. It said "Obedience School Drop-Out". She must have taken a dozen photos of it and she was giggling the whole time. It was so sweet. She was also kind enough to introduce us to Sally, the great-granddaughter of the original Sally the black lab that is the inspiration of much of Huneck's work. She was such a sweet girl and I was so excited to get a photo of our two beautiful black doggies together. (Below) It was so nice to spend time in a place that is so devoted to celebrating dogs. The love here is tangible and we really enjoyed our afternoon in this place. We picked up some treats for our dog and a few souvenirs and headed out just as the sun was setting. This is a magical place and I left feeling very grateful. Grateful for my dog, grateful to have shared in the experience of all those who who left a piece of themselves here and grateful to have had the opportunity to spend time in a place like this that honors dogs so beautifully.

    A wonderful find on a summer night while coming to see some live music on the adjacent property…read more What a unique and incredibly special space, even more so for dog lovers like us. Beautiful tribute, so many photos and sentimental notes. How great would it be to live in a world filled with only pet lovers !! If you are in the area, it is worth a visit. We came from NH and it was a nice ride, enjoyed our time here.
