Dog Friendly Destinations
I apologize for my absence the last couple of days. It looks like the flu has hit early at my home as my husband became so ill, that hospitalization was required. But we’re home now and on the mend, so hopefully, I won’t miss a day of writing.
While the economic crisis looms over all of us, there may be some who will still have the time, energy and means to vacation, although it might be closer to home. In order to save a little money, people might want to take their dog with them instead of boarding the dog, which can be quite expensive.
Peter Greenberg is a travel expert who appears on radio and television with great travel information. He gives some great dog friendly destinations that will not just ALLOW your dog to be there, but will welcome your furry friend with open arms.
Beginning in California, specifically the Napa Valley, dogs are allowed in some of the wineries and the Hillcrest Country Inn in Calistoga, California has 36 acres where you and your dog can romp, run or choose to play with the Inn’s owner’s canine residents named Taz, Debo and Bamboo. Dogs are allowed to stay in the rooms with guests or in a large outdoor kennel.
How about Aspen? For those skiers who ski the Alps, the current economy could entice people to stay closer to home and Aspen has some world renowned skiing. There is also wonderful hiking and camping spots as well. Dogs are welcomed on hiking trails, but encouraged to be leashed. There are several that are less than 10 miles long, so neither you or your pooch are too tired to take a walk on the pedestrian mall in Aspen proper where dogs are also welcome. If you want your dog to be able to run a bit, most city parks allow dogs to be offleash.

I just wanted to say I like your site! I was doing some research on some different forums when I found your blog. After looking around on this site I’ve come up with some good ideas for a new site. I just thought I’d let you in on it
