When I heard about this blog hop from my friends at DogTipper, Two Little Cavaliers, and Life with Dogs, I knew exactly what to do with the dog-themed Christmas stocking I’d been idly knitting. Here it is:
Well, to be frank, that’s what it will look like.… Read the rest
The short version? The travel bloggers’ fundraiser that, last year, built a school in Cambodia with your donations plans, this year, to build a village in India for Dalit (untouchable) people. I contacted the Kimpton Hotel group, and they’re offering a prize you’ll love: Two nights, plus a $125 voucher for a meal, at any of their amazing dog-friendly hotels.… Read the rest
I finally thought of taking a picture of one of these Parisian scoop law signs on our way back from dinner last night (there was wine, yes, which explains the blurry). “I love my neighborhood,” it says, “[so therefore] I scoop.”… Read the rest
Back in July, I filed an application with the United States Patent & Trademark Office (USPTO) to register DOG JAUNT as a trademark. I just checked its status (“not yet assigned to an examining attorney,” and not a lot of hope that it’ll be assigned any time soon), and thought I’d write a quick post on why I made the effort and paid the money.… Read the rest
Oh, I am so excited about this. Look at the top of Dog Jaunt’s page, and you’ll see that the last tab on the right now says “Store.” Click on it, and you’ll find tee-shirts, water bottles, and even a doggy tee-shirt — all featuring Dog Jaunt’s new logo.… Read the rest
My wonderful geek of a husband was responsible for Dog Jaunt’s original appearance, and I loved how it looked. I thought it was clean and stylish and easy to read — but although the picture he used (of a Pomeranian in a travel carrier) was charming, the hero of this site is a different dog altogether, our Cavalier King Charles Spaniel named Chloe.… 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
Every Friday I post a dog travel picture that’s caught my eye — either one that I’ve taken, or one that I’ve found on Flickr. A dog on a Venice barge, a dog in a powerboat, a dog cooling off in a Milwaukee fountain — even a statue of a dog from an Irish castle.… Read the rest
I’ve touched on this topic from time to time, but for some reason a relatively harmless article posted on suite101.com prompted me to crack my knuckles, fire up a new page on WordPress, and come to grips with the question. Perhaps it’s because the author’s tone was so reasonable: Why, he asks, would you want to bring your dog to Oaxaca, Mexico?… Read the rest
Yesterday I wrote a review of the Fundle Ultimate Pet Carrier, and mentioned that I’d been asked by a reader to evaluate it as a potential “stealth” bag for her Cavalier puppy. One of my more dedicated readers objected to the word “stealth,” commenting that the “tag implies you are using the bag to take your dog where it is prohibited.… Read the rest
