Traveling with pets?
# 1 tip--don’t leave them parked in the car. Please. Or else I’ll have to spank you. Hot, cold, lonely or tormented by kids with ice cream cones, it's not as fun as being with you. Also if you drive with them on top of your car, don't count on my vote when you run for president. Jeez!
#2 Visit DogFriendly before you plan your trip. Hotels, restaurants, parks that take dogs are listed here for cities all over the USA and internationally. Always call first to double check policies regarding pets.
