Last week was our 13 year anniversary (eeek!), so to celebrate we packed up Olive and her friend Edna, and headed to Grünewaldsee for the day. We’ve been there a few times and the Hundestrand is one of our favourite places to go in Berlin. You can let the dogs off the leash so they can frolic with their furry friends while you chill and eat guacamole like a boss. Below are a few iPhone snaps of the day – dog pervs, enjoy!
Our recipe for a perfect Berlin summer day:
1. Take 1 dog. We recommend a Bully, but any dog will do.
2. Add 1 blazing hot Berlin summer day.
3. Stew in a airtight S7 train. Time may vary, but our lump of dog took 50 minutes to cook through.
4. Leave to cool for about 30 minutes (or as long as it takes to walk from Grunewald to the “dog beach” at Grunewaldsee Hundestrand).
5. Arrange your other ingredients on a picnic blanket. We recommend wine (white or rosé), bite-sized chunks of fruit and veg and assorted dips.
6. Sprinkle your dogmeat with water to keep from drying out.
7. Mix well with other dogs.
8. Enjoy. Guten Appetit!

This is fantastic! Thanks so much for the tip. Bailey has been a panting mess in this heat. We used to take her to the Rhine when we lived down in Hessen, but had yet to find a substitution for that here. She’s gonna be thrilled to be able to swim again!
Also, lovely photos, as always.
Also a great spot for those of us who wish we had dogs and want to live vicariously through everyone else’s pups. Love Olive’s face in that first pic of her.
