I've got dogs. What the the best places in Mountain View for being outdoors with pets?
Shoreline has a great dog park. It's clean and huge, and open all the time. There's also one in Las Palmas but it isn't nearly as good. It's also worth snooping around parks close to you to see if dogs can be off leash early in the mornings. Just check with other dog owners. On weekends, definitely tkae them for a ride and get out to some of the really big parks west of town.
