Travel Huntsville, AL: Where can I shop with my dog? (Part II)
To say the Bridge Street Town Center in Huntsville, Alabama is dog friendly shortchanges the dog his bone. Not only does the property welcome pups, they encourage them with festivals throughout the year including Dog Fest on May 5, 2017. Clean and pristine, this sculpted open-air shopping emporium hints of Las Vegas. No slot machines, of […]
Hamilton, ON: Celebrating Earth Day with a Dog Bath
My dog Victor and I celebrated Earth Day 2017 at the spa … the dog spa. It’s not exactly the traditional way to save Earth – admittedly, we did little for the planet. But we did help save some dogs and cats. April 22, 2017 was Dog Wash day at Pet Value at 1550 Upper […]
Travel Toronto, ON: Legoland and the most photographed (Lego) Dog in Town
Ok, this isn’t a real dog, and this place isn’t dog friendly. But when I was there, this Lego dog sculpture was the most hugged and photographed at The Legoland® Discovery Centre in Vaughan, Ontario (inside the Vaughan Mills Outlet Mall) near Toronto. This one’s for the kids, though the only Canadian Legoland has an […]
Travel Toronto, ON: Spring 2017 Canadian Pet Expo. It’s on!
Some people are heading to church next Easter weekend. Others will be glad Friday is a holiday. I’m thrilled the Spring Canadian Pet Expo is back at the International Centre, near the Toronto airport in Ontario, Canada. The 2017 event promises to be the biggest yet with more than 300 vendors (really, the focus of […]
Toronto, ON: Eating Crickets at the Green Living Show 2017
Victor likes crickets. It surprised me too. First, I should tell you my terrier Victor is a picky eater and usually doesn’t like crunchy treats. But he willingly lapped up Wilder & Harrier’s baked heart-shaped training treats – both flavours: banana peanut butter (slightly preferred) and cranberry apple. Second, I should tell you Wilder & […]
Need a Pet Portrait? Love these Fuzzy ones.
I admit it. I teared up when I saw the pic of my Fuzzy Felties sent to me for approval by creator Le L from 38 Star Point. Pending approval, they would be mine. And I whole-heartedly approved. I am continuing my on-going quest to find as many handmade or created ‘portraits’ of my pets […]
NYC Westminster Dog Show: AKC Meet and Compete … cats too! (Part III)
Pier 92 a long New York City’s Hudson River isn’t everyone’s first stop during a visit to the Big Apple. However, Saturday of the Westminster Dog Show weekend, that’s where I headed, after checking into the dog-friendly Pennsylvania Hotel (affiliate link) across from Madison Square Gardens – the nerve centre for all things dog show. But before […]

Today we head to why we’re here: Presque Isle State Park. It’s an incredible site with almost every outdoor […]
Superbowl Sunday Dog BOW TIE contest!
It’s Superbow weekend … I mean Superbowl weekend. The New England Patriots are playing the Atlanta Falcons. (Admittedly, I had to look that up). But I have this cute little football helmet dog bow tie to give away to a dog-loving football fan. So, post a comment below… Who’s your dog’s Superbowl 2017 pick? Personally, […]
