We met friends at Le Pain Quotidien in Central Park for breakfast last weekend, and halfway through my (delicious) oatmeal I realized that this crowd of ladies and dogs and pet strollers had gathered on the lawn across the path. I put down my spoon, darted over, and took their picture.… Read the rest
I promise that this is the last time you’ll hear me complain about the heat and humidity in New York City last week. I see you yawning politely, and wishing I’d get over it already. After a few days back in Seattle, I am over it, mostly — but this picture reminds me of the horror, and of one dog’s solution.… Read the rest
Well, the fact is, we only went to one winery, but I liked the sound of all those Ws. I’ve long known about the wine country around Woodinville (about a half hour northeast of Seattle, if the traffic’s in your favor), but I’d never visited any of the wineries or tasting rooms until this past Friday, when we zipped out to taste some wines from De Lille Cellars.… Read the rest
The caption on Flickr for this photo is “the grand canyon: unimpressed dog,” which is perfect. It was taken just over a year ago. The official website for the Grand Canyon National Park has a page devoted to visiting dogs: Pet dogs are hardly allowed at all on the North Rim, and on the South Rim, dogs are allowed only above the rim and must be leashed.… Read the rest
Last Friday’s post was all about boating safety with a dog, and this week’s…is not. This picture was taken in August 2008 in Venice, and it makes me smile. Speaking of Venetian dogs, Maggie in Venice, a blog I recommended back in February, is still going strong — great videos and photos, as well as useful tips about places to enjoy with your own pooch.… Read the rest
This photo was taken last July at Devil’s Lake (or “D Lake”), just outside Lincoln City, Oregon. I love how both the boy and the dog are wearing life jackets. I often hear people scoffing about life jackets for dogs (“dogs can swim!”),… Read the rest
Yesterday’s guest post from Helen Fazio about taking a dog to Rome got me thinking about dogs cooling off in fountains. This picture was taken nearly five years ago in Milwaukee’s Historic Third Ward, a vibrant historic warehouse district of shops, galleries and restaurants — stroll the district with your dog (here’s a walking tour), and then set off on the RiverWalk.… Read the rest
This week’s photo, taken last February in Barcelona, totally charms me. I just love this sidewalk DJ’s laid-back style — and how he’s made sure his dog is comfortable in a miniature version of his own chair.
Please send me links to your favorite dog travel photos!… Read the rest
This week’s photo is of one of a pair of dog statues flanking the gate leading into the Craft Courtyard at Malahide Castle, just outside Dublin. The Castle, parts of which date from the 12th c., was the home of the Talbot family for nearly 800 years.… Read the rest
This week’s photo was taken almost three years ago from Stockholm’s Strandvägen, an elegant waterfront street stretching from Nybroplan to the English Church and the embassy quarter. What a gorgeous boat! No wonder the dog on deck is keeping a watchful eye on the photographer.… Read the rest
