This week’s picture was taken in the Centennial Garden behind the Dining Hall at Boulder’s Chautauqua. The Colorado Chautauqua opened on July 4, 1898 as part of the national Chautauqua Movement (a “chautauqua” being a place where people gathered to be entertained and educated — at the height of the movement, in the first decade of the 20th century, thousands of communities across the country hosted chautauquas).… Read the rest
This week’s photo follows on the heels of my friend Edie Jarolim’s post about fire hydrants in her past (with a bonus hydrant photo from our mutual friends Amy & Rod Burkert). It was taken in 2005, “outside the fire station in Montreal West,” and it charms my socks off.… Read the rest
I know, there’s supposed to be only one winner this week, but the prize was a (heavy) locking leash, and two pups posted travel pictures: Eva, a Papillon, and Sandy, a Golden Retriever. What on earth would Eva do with the leash, if she won?… Read the rest
I saw this man, accompanied by a friend, park his Harley just below The Doctor’s Office in Friday Harbor, WA (the source of excellent breakfast sandwiches, frothed OJ, pastries and ice cream). I looked away for a moment, and when I looked back, they were walking with a Yorkshire Terrier.… Read the rest
I took this week’s photo last Friday, as Chloe and I rode the ferry from Anacortes to San Juan Island’s Friday Harbor. Although dogs are allowed upstairs if they’re in a carrier, and the view from upstairs is really lovely, I typically stretch out in the car and snooze.… Read the rest
This week’s photo is courtesy of my husband, who flew from Seattle to Friday Harbor last weekend a seat or two behind Bentley the Boxer, who (he learned) is a frequent flyer on Kenmore Air.
After the photo, read all about this week’s giveaway — I’ll be giving goodies away over the next several Photo Fridays!… Read the rest
As you know, everyone who posted a photo of their dog during the last two Photo Fridays earned chances to win a Fab Dog raincoat in my favorite print — a map of New York’s subway system. These past two weeks have been such fun for me that I plan to make this a weekly giveaway, starting tomorrow, and continuing for as long as I have prizes — I can think of at least five prizes off the top of my head, so we’ll be doing this for the next month or so.… Read the rest
Bribery works! Take a look at last week’s Photo Friday, and you’ll see that eight of you lovely, lovely people posted dog travel pictures of your own — earning you a chance to win a really fab Fab Dog raincoat, and bringing joy to me and many others.… Read the rest
The extension of Seattle’s light rail line to the airport has been open since mid-December 2009, but we took our first trip on it this past weekend. Chloe and I left the car in downtown Seattle and rode to the airport to meet my husband, who was returning from a few days in the Bay Area.… Read the rest
Blogging, I’ve learned, can be a bit lonely — I hit the “publish” button, a tree falls in the forest, and I wonder if anyone hears…. As a result, I cherish every comment people write about my posts, and I spend a really unconscionable amount of time on Twitter, making contact with other dog/travel enthusiasts.… Read the rest
