Photo Friday, and reader’s report about pet relief areas at Chicago’s O’Hare Airport (ORD)

It’s been a long time since I’ve transited through Chicago’s O’Hare airport, so I was very glad to hear from reader Rebecca that things are different now. Let’s start with the Photo Friday part of this post, because Keeney, Rebecca’s Cavapoo, will make you smile:

Rebecca and Keeney had a layover in ORD recently, and Rebecca tells me travelers with pets no longer have to make do with the (very lovely) lawn of the airport Hilton.… Read the rest

Photo Friday: A gift from photographer Peter Carey

How surprised I was to open my mail a couple of days ago and find a message from photographer Peter Carey, who had been burrowing around in his files and found a couple of photos he thought you guys would like.… Read the rest

Photo Friday: Maia and The Lafayette Inn (Easton, PA)

Last fall, reader Dolce sent me some great photos and information about a vacation she and Maia, her Yorkie mix, had taken on Cape Cod. She kindly followed up with a message about a weekend trip to Eastern Pennsylvania — not the easiest part of the world in which to find a good dog-friendly hotel, but she did, and here’s her report.… Read the rest

Photo Friday: Layla and The Calusa Queen

Reader Marci sent me an e-mail this week, letting me know about a dog-friendly cruise she took in Punta Gorda, FL (located across the harbor from Port Charlotte; about an hour’s drive south of Sarasota). Here’s what she told me:

“The Calusa Queen is a tour boat that leaves from Burnt Store Marina and tours various places in the Charlotte Harbour.… Read the rest

Photo Friday: Henry, contemplating world travel

This week began with a wonderfully thorough reader’s report from Susan, who researched the heck out of the requirements facing travelers who are entering the U.S. with a pet. I thought you’d like to see the pet behind the research:

Though I adore Chloe, and I know that my life will be, as Dr.… Read the rest

Photo Friday: Whiskey in Florida, and a report from Amelia Island

Reader Shaye wrote to me last year — oh, you know the sad story of my in-box by now — and sent me this glorious shot of Whiskey (see what I did there?), her tricolor Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, running alongside a Florida canal.… Read the rest

Photo Friday: Chloe and Seattle’s snowstorm

Today everything’s melting, but for the past week, Seattle has been reduced to walking (and cross-country skiing) speed by a pair of snowstorms. Yes, I know they’d be trivial in Buffalo — but Buffalo has snow plows. Here’s Chloe, finally released into the park after a couple of days kept indoors.… Read the rest

Photo Friday: The Professor and the SturdiBag

Reader Lisa sent me this photo of Professor, her Dachshund, in his new large SturdiBag back in October 2011. That’s how desperate the state of my in-box is. I admit my shame only because I love Dachshunds so — my first dog was a standard red smooth-haired Dachshund named Lady (in fact, her full name was Lady Alice of Vincennes, but she only got that when she was very naughty indeed) — and the Professor is a sweetheart:

He’s clearly pleased with his new carrier — Lisa told me, “I think he likes it more than the couch.” … Read the rest

Photo Friday: Chloe and the squirrels

Last week we were with my in-laws in Tennessee; this week we’re with my family in central Ohio. Chloe loves it here, partly because she likes my parents but largely, it has to be said, because they have French doors that overlook their back yard — and they have a back yard full of squirrels.… Read the rest

Photo Friday: Chloe and the field

This week we visited my in-laws, gathered in Eastern Tennessee on the Cumberland Plateau, and a good time was had by all, especially Chloe:

Here she is, exhausted and happy. Please note that she is off-leash, for the second time ever.… Read the rest
