UPDATE! Dogging It in NYC Day 3: American WKC Dog Show!
Tonight is the Grand Finale of the 140th American Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show at Madison Square Gardens in New York City. Tonight one lucky pup will be Best in Show, taking the crown from last year’s winner Miss P., a Beagle and surprise choice. Tonight, like many other dog lovers, I’ll be watching […]
Car Travel with Dogs: 7 Tips for Making it Easy
I have been carting my dog Victor – an 11- year-old poodle/schnauzer cross – around since I got him three years ago, and I’ve been figuring it out as I go. I own a Kia Soul (bought before I got Victor) that turned out to be a great dog car because putting the back seat down allows for a lot of doggie space and an hatchback makes in and out easy. So, Victor and I hit the road a lot. Here’s what I’ve learned:
Travel Las Vegas, Nevada: All in with Fido
Go all in and add Las Vegas to the list of places promoted as ‘pet-friendly.’ (Well, for dogs anyway). According to TravelWeekly, an eNewsletter for travel industry members, more properties in Sin City are allowing dogs because so many people are travelling with canines in tow.
Two Dogs, One Dog-friendly Quest to Albion Falls, Hamilton, Ontario
As cars whiz by we’re walking for almost 10 minutes along a busy road. We’re separated from traffic by a metal guardrail extending along side a worn dirt path. Victor, my 10-year-old schnoodle, is in front pulling on the leash like he’s in charge of Santa’s sleigh. Sasha and her fur daddy are behind us. […]
Travel Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania: Meet the Canine Ambassador at the Fairmont
Canine ambassadors are part of many Fairmont Hotel locations throughout North America where the lobbies are calm enough to accommodate a tail-wagging guest greeter. What a fabulous idea, especially because most North American Fairmont properties are pet-friendly.
Top 7 Dogtrotting Spots of 2015
Whoahoo! Dogtrotting.net – the magazine-style blog for globetrotting dog lovers – is one year old! On January 5, 2015, I started writing about dog festivals, fun, and adventures, while carting my schnoodle Victor around with me, camera in one hand and leash (sometimes) in another. I started the blog as a complement to http://www.horsetrotting.net (about […]
Happy Dog Traveling Holidays!
Happy Holidays from Victor and friends at dogtrotting! Hope your New Year is filled with dog adventure, hikes, urban strolls, pet festivals and all things furry and happy.
Travel Toronto, Ontario: Dog Does the Distillery District (& Christmas Market)
“Do you want a photo?” one of the costumed carolers at the Toronto Christmas Market in the Distillery District said when I stuck a snap of them. They even posed with my dog Victor because (of course) I traveled here with him – the same day we checkout Winter Woofstock, so we’re making the rounds. The […]
Travel Oxford County, Ontario: Ain’t Nothing Like a Pound Dog
NOTE: The Second Annual Pound Dog HOWLER Fun event is November 6, 2016 at the Snyder’s Farm, Ayr, Ontario. 10:30 am to 2:30 pm. There’s a haunted house here? Ok, this is my kind of farm. I’m at Snyder’s Family Farm in Ayr, Ontario on another adventure with my schnoodle Victor. But we’re not here […]
Travel Guelph, Ontario: Appreciating Art the Dog Way at the old/new sculpture park
It was a great idea to take my schnoodle Victor to the outdoor art park … until it wasn’t. (My apologies to artist John Greer – apparently his three large stone ‘Grains of Wheat’ to a dog looks like, well three large rocks.) We’re hanging out at the Guelph Art Gallery (formerly the McDonald Stewart […]
