dog crate zoo image
Karin
I will be taking my dogs (and my husband) on a weekend trip to San Francisco, and we'll have some time to kill in the mornings. Where can we hike that is dog-friendly and not just on the streets/sidewalks of the city? We like being in nature, so any woodsy areas would appeal to us. Thanks!
Answer
Here are some suggestions.
NOTE: Non-service animals may ride on transit vehicles during non-commute hours. Avoid 5-9 a.m. and 3-7 p.m. on weekdays. Leashes and muzzles are required for larger dogs. Containers or crates are sufficient for smaller ones.

Golden Gate Park. San Francisco's version of Central Park. You'll see lots of people walking their dogs in the morning. Despite the large spaces and woodsy surroundings, however, this is a fully urban environment. The expectation is you'll clean up after your dog and keep it under control at all times.
Metro: N
Bus: 5, 16, 18, 28, 29, 44, 71
-----
Dolores Park. Small and urban. Not much space to roam and the rules are strict. But it is also fairly popular with dog owners. Excellent views of the skyline.
Metro: J
Bus: 33
-----
Alamo Square. Same as above.
Bus: 5, 21, 22, 24
-----
Lake Merced and Fort Funston. Near the San Francisco Zoo. Nice semi-wild park near the beach. Very dog friendly.
Metro: L
Bus: 18, 88
-----
Glen Canyon Park. Definitely off the beaten track as well. Quieter than most San Francisco parks. Also very dog friendly.
Metro: J, BART (Glen Park)
Bus: 44, 52
-----
Golden Gate National Recreation Area (in Marin County). This is the largest urban national park in the country. Lots of hiking opportunities. You'll probably see deer, rabbits, racoons, and skunks. And maybe a hawk or coyote. Numerous forests, meadows, beaches, streams, etc.

How to turn a kids radio flyer wagon into a zoo cage for halloween?
Barbara
My daughters are going to be animals for halloween and. I want to turn our wagon into a cage and be able to pull them around but I dont know how to make one. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Answer
To be honest, I'd just borrow a large dog crate from a neighbor and strap it down on the wagon. Heck of a lot easier than building a fake cage.
But if you'd rather do it the hard way, 1/4 inch PVC pipe makes excellent bars. All you'd have to do is find a way to secure them to the wagon. I'd bolt them in myself, but I'm assuming you want the wagon to go back to being a wagon after Halloween. Probably the easiest way to make it temporary would be to make a lightweight wood frame for the top and bottom, use a hole saw or paddle bit to drill out some 1/4 inch holes and run the PVC through it. Hot glue them so they don't slide, and then attach to the wagon however you like (duct tape would certainly work, but if you don't care for the idea of removing the sticky residue later, try a couple of tiedown straps. Most hardware stores have them in the automotive department).
