This week’s Chloe’s Clicks is late (we were on a plane yesterday!) but packed with good stuff. Here goes:
Why not lead off with the most controversial topic? Go Pet Friendly posted a two-part article this week summarizing and responding to a wealth of comments people wrote about dog-friendly restaurants (or, more accurately, restaurants that allow dogs to join their owners on patios and at outside seating).… Read the rest
A couple of weeks ago, I gave you a link to a Peter Greenberg Worldwide video about borrowing a dog when you’re traveling, if you can’t bring your own with you. This week, the author of Adventure: Your Travel Blog mentioned borrowing the Chateau Lake Louise’s resident Lab (named Sonny) for a walk during a recent visit to the Canadian Rockies.… Read the rest
Visiting my in-laws recently in Brandon, a suburb of Tampa, Chloe and I were both happy to discover an excellent dog park in the nearby suburb of Seffner-Mango. I particularly liked it, of course, because it has an enormous small ‘n’ shy area, but it has many other positives to tell you about.… Read the rest
These two off-leash dog parks serve their communities well, but would also be a good resource for dog owners traveling between Columbus and Cleveland. The first is in Mount Vernon, Ohio — about 45 minutes north of Columbus — and the second is in the nearby college town of Gambier, Ohio.… Read the rest
This was a great week for interesting pet travel links! Hold on to your hats — here we go:
Through an Independent Minds article dated December 26 I learned about a useful site for identifying wonderful, dog-friendly places to stay around the world, including India, Kenya, Iceland — and that’s just scratching the surface.… Read the rest
It’s all about Southern California this week — it’s been raining steadily in Seattle, so maybe my subconscious is nudging me towards the sunny south!
The first link is from San Diego’s Convention and Visitor’s Bureau site, which includes an entire section on dog-friendly locations and activities in San Diego.… Read the rest
Volunteer Park is a 48-acre oasis in Seattle’s Capitol Hill neighborhood. The land was originally used as a cemetery, but in 1887 the graves were relocated a short distance northwards, to Lake View Cemetery. The park now includes the Seattle Asian Art Museum (housed in a magnificent 1933 Art Moderne building designed by Carl Gould), a lovely 1912 conservatory, a 1906 water tower (climb to the top for a fine view) overlooking a reservoir, and a children’s wading pool, all located in a setting created by the Olmstead Brothers between about 1904 and 1912.… Read the rest
Petside.com just published a list of the top ten off-leash dog parks in the U.S. The only information I have about their survey is their statement that “Petside looked at the size of the dog park, amenities and activities offered, hours of operation and the cost of entry,” but I point you to the list as a resource.… Read the rest
Portland has 32 off-leash dog parks (including 5 fenced ones) and Portland Parks & Recreation’s website provides a useful list of them, along with descriptions and a map. (Please note that dogs are welcome in most Portland parks, but they need to be on a leash.… Read the rest
Wouldn’t you think I would have found this already? But no — my college roommate had to tell me about Dog Fun, a really great directory of dog parks across the U.S., and in Canada too (plus a couple of hits in Australia and Belgium).… Read the rest
