Welcome to the 15th Anniversary of Woofstock, May 26 and 27, 2018, in Woodbine Park, Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Woofstock claims the title of North America’s largest dog festival. So, […]
Woodhaven Part II: Cottage Retreat Pays Off – Test Results are In!
Six years ago, I couldn’t imagine living with a dog. Today, I can’t imagine living without him. Victor, my cocker-cross, changed my life six years ago, the minute I put him in my car, and drove home fully aware I had not started that day with the intention of getting a dog. But the universe […]
Letting Loose: Dog Days of Summer (almost) at Woodhaven Country Lodge
Weekend with the dogs. Best idea ever. Only thing is, I don’t have a cottage. So, I’m renting at Woodhaven Country Lodge in Ontario, Canada. (UPDATE: Unfortunately, as of Fall 2021, Woodhaven is no longer open) The minute I arrive, owner Michael walks me through the door and says, “Don’t worry about them jumping on […]

I Survived BlogPaws 2018 … and Discovered New Pet Stuff in Kansas City CONTEST!
I survived BlogPaws 2018! My favourite thing about writing a dog travel blog is dogs … and of course travel and what better way to combine everything than travel to a blogging event full of dogs (and cats, and rats and … that’s about it). BlogPaws is a pet bloggers conference for those blogging, tweeting, […]

Travel San Diego: Check out the dogs at the zoo. That’s right. Dogs.

Dog-Friendly San Diego: Liberty Station and Balboa Park … with fries
Liberty Station and NTC Park If you’re pup isn’t bothered by the sound of low flying jet planes – about every five minutes – then Liberty Station is a great place in San Diego to run the dog. One advantage of San Diego is the airport is minutes from downtown, hotels and the marina. One […]
My Dog Demands: Gimme Chicken Cutlets (with B6) or the bag gets it!
Right now, there’s a half-eaten bag of Earth Animal Chicken Cutlets on the living room floor and that’s unusual. I don’t mean the bag’s half empty – I mean the plastic bag containing the jerky chicken dog treats is ripped apart. Shredded. When I wasn’t looking, my dog Victor immediately rummage into the box of […]
Snowed in 2018: Turns Out, OraBone Aren’t Just for Chewing Anymore.
Outside the wind is blowing, snow covers my driveway and freezing rain is falling. At the time of writing this, it’s the middle of April. That’s right: two weeks into Spring and Southern Ontario gets the worst storm of the season. And some people think climate change isn’t real. Meanwhile, I’ve got a more immediate […]
