I am on the road at the moment and am amazed at how many hotels, and restaurants now allow animals to eat right alongside their owners. Business establishments are becoming much more dog-tolerant. I visited an upscale bakery yesterday in the Bay Area of California that had an entire section devoted to home baked, certified organic dog treats (!).

BTW, I am an absolute dog lover and mother to two rescue dogs. I just told DH that next time we travel, the little pooch is going with us, LOL.

Many of these dogs are BETTER behaved than the kids I’m seeing!! (I DO have children too, BTW)...

A coffee shop that I frequent in Morgan Hill sells the Gelato Classico brand of gelato. They've just started carrying a gelato variety specifically for dogs.

My parents refer to my brother's dog as their "furry grandchild". Yes, they have human grandchildren and love them immensely but they also enjoy having the little furball dropped off for a weekend visit when the family goes out of town.
