We were traveling for the past few days, so Chloe’s Clicks is screeching in just before the new week gets underway….
The link I loved the most this week was posted by All Dog Boots and describes the author’s first-ever trip with an in-cabin dog (Cooper, an adorable Maltese/Yorkie).… Read the rest
Today’s picture was taken last November in Rome’s Piazza del Popolo. In this shot, dog and owner both look businesslike — but photographer Ed Yourdon says that the pair circled the piazza several times, enjoying a Sunday outing.
Please send me links to your favorite dog travel photos!… Read the rest
My new issue of Fido Friendly arrived last night, and while I’ve mentioned before how much I love the travel articles, the ads are almost an equal attraction. This time, the money-winner was an ad on page 25 for the Pawsby PooPatroller, a “concealed pooper scooper plus” (plus what?… Read the rest
Somehow I got the (mistaken) idea that this new book by pet-lifestyle expert and animal rights advocate Wendy Diamond is all about traveling with your dog, so of course I snapped it up to review for you.

Today’s photo is a couple of weeks old, taken at South Beach on San Juan Island. Leashed dogs are allowed on the beach, but bring your own poop bags. Chloe loves this place, largely because there are slow-moving shore birds to chase (still, they’re faster than she is).… Read the rest
Dog Jaunt recently gave away three great Outward Hound pet carriers in giveaways that asked entrants to tell me about their favorite dog-friendly place. I loved the winners’ recommendations, but I also loved the suggestions that other entrants posted. It would be a shame to let them go to waste, so here are the ones that grabbed me, in no order at all:

February means the TED conference for us, so off we went again to Long Beach. Last year we stayed at the Hilton Long Beach, which was pleasant, but this year we opted to be a little closer to the convention center and stayed at the Renaissance Long Beach.… Read the rest
We returned to Seattle on a JetBlue Airbus 320, so once again I crawled around under my row of seats with a tape measure, and here are the results. This post is part of an ongoing series recording under-seat measurements of the various planes we fly on.… Read the rest
