So how much does it cost to travel with a dog? There are as many answers as there are travelers — someone traveling cross-country by car will have one answer, someone traveling by RV will have another. A traveler on a tight budget will have a third, and so on.… Read the rest
In the past, I’ve posted scoop law signs from Paris and Seattle — and now I bring you New York City (specifically, Brooklyn, in the Clinton Hill neighborhood):
It cracks me up, partly because the dog looks so noble, and so completely disconnected from the pile of poop, and partly because I cannot figure out what his owner is using to clean up the mess.… Read the rest
I’ve mentioned this already on Dog Jaunt’s Facebook page, but Facebook posts disappear from view, and Dog Jaunt is forever. I got an e-mail from Pet Airways, hard on the heels of its Texas announcement, saying that the airline is expanding its service to include St.… Read the rest
Great news in my in-box this morning! Pet Airways, the pets-only airline (your pet travels in a carrier in the body of the plane, not underneath, and the flight attendants bring her drinks and peanuts) (I made that last part up, but they do check on your pet every 15 minutes) has added three destinations, all in Texas, to its list of flight cities.… Read the rest
It’s been two years now since I hit the “publish” button on my first Dog Jaunt post. Since then, I’ve written over 550 posts (and some of you have written posts for me!), and I still haven’t run out of things to say about traveling with a small dog.… Read the rest
Four terrific bloggers have started a new site called Animal Café, hosting interviews, podcasts and live chats about all aspects of animal welfare and well-being. One of them, Edie Jarolim, is focusing on pet travel issues, and she invited me to appear on the show.… Read the rest

How happy I was to see this sign yesterday in Seattle:
Granted, it’s a bigger dog — but doesn’t the bucket seem like overkill?!… Read the rest
Back on November 15 (and many times since then!), I told you about this year’s Passports with Purpose fundraiser, and encouraged you to bid on Dog Jaunt’s prize: A two-night stay and dinner at any Kimpton hotel. The fundraiser ended on December 13, and the winners of all the prizes were announced this past Friday.… Read the rest
I completely missed Photo Friday yesterday, and thought for a moment or two of cheating and calling this “Snapshot Saturday,” but decided I really couldn’t do that to you.
I was sorry to see this sign today (and at the post office in dog-friendly Friday Harbor, of all places).… Read the rest
Back on November 17, I announced that Dog Jaunt’s giveaway in the Holiday Hop for Pets giveaway would be a dog-themed Christmas stocking, made from a pattern by Judith Swartz in her book Dogs in Knits. To get a chance to win, you had to “like” Dog Jaunt’s Facebook page and let me know what dog’s name you wanted to have stitched around the top band of the stocking.… Read the rest
