    Hi!
    Last year my husband and I took our two with us on our …. get this....ANNIVERSARY! Yes we did. Why not? they are with us in the bed, why not celebrating our anniversary. Anyway, we live in Southern California and last year we went to Cambria. Cambria is known for their wineries and many of their wineries are doggie friendly.

    This year (May) we are staying at Cambria Pines Lodge and then traveling to Santa Barbara where we'll be staying at Fess Parker. I'll keep you posted as how our stays went and let you know how the lodge fared. Fess Parker is a 5 star hotel and we've stayed there before and their service was excellent!

    While not a place to stay, if you find yourself driving down I-65 near Montgomery AL (say to the Panhandle), the Peach Park is a great stop to stretch your legs. We traveled down with the kids and the dogs. They have a nice little walking trail, playground and a large grassy area to tie-down your B. Oh, plus some pretty darn good BBQ and cobbler! Peach Park is right off of the interstate.

    There's a couple of resorts in Ocean City Maryland that we've got reservation for next summer Atlantic Resort and The Waves. I love the beach & looking forward to this place.

    We're also going to Hilton Head in Sept where they have not explicity said NO PETS so I'm hoping the "barkless" dogs stay true to form :)

    This will be a very useful thread for those of us who just can't part from the furbabies :D

    My husband and I honeymooned in Carmel, CA with our basenji Nicky. Carmel is a very dog friendly town. They have a beach that allows dogs and many dog friendly hotels. The place we stayed we had our own little cabin at the top of the hill leading to the beach. They would bring us breakfast and Nicky a dog biscuit every morning. There were also restaraunts that had special seating for dogs and even had a dog menu.

    Do you know of any pet friendly hotels, Bed and Breakfast, restaurants or other animal friendly places? Please post them here, if we get enough of a response going for this thread hopefully it will get its own thread and our B's will get to see more of the world!

    Very cool Bed and Breakfast that my husband and I have reservations for in June. The resort has a dog park, doggie day care, hiking and fun stuff for humans like Golfing packages and Massage packages. We plan on doing the Canoe outing with the dogs.

    You might reach out to BRAT and ask if they have any foster's in your area that would dog-sit for you. They seem to have Basenji foster parents in every city, so they are experienced with Basenji's and would be able to adapt to short stays. Offer a "donation" of sorts and make it very clear that you are not surrendering your little lady. (worth a shot)

    I would love as much information on this as possible, too! I will be flying my dog home from Africa to the US next year. I will probably be using AirFrance.

    If you ship him underneath in cargo, don't forget there are temperature restrictions. Where would you transfer planes at? This summer has been hot in many cities! Please check the requirements for the airline you will be traveling on. There is usually a limit to the number of dogs allowed on board and in cargo. You will need to make a reservation for him at the time you make your own. There may be additional requirements since you are coming from Canada, you will need to check with the USDA, the CDC and the State of Massachusetts. You can find the requirements on the USDA website and it has links to each state. http://www.aphis.usda.gov/animal_welfare/pet_travel/pet_travel.shtml You need to make sure the carrier will fit under the seat so if the carrier you are considering is much larger than the large size Sherpa brand bag I doubt it will fit under the seat. I used to travel with Arnie onboard about 10 years ago before 9/11. I trained him to get in and out of the Sherpa bag and to stay in for short periods of time. He almost always laid down in it. He never made noise even when we were in first class and they served food! Most people did not even know I had a dog. I also made sure I was comfortable carrying him in the bag. I figured if the airline employees thought I was struggling with him then he was too heavy and he would not be let on the plane. He was an older pup but weighed about 18-20 lbs. Jennifer

    We lived in Davis for many years where there is only the public display but you can hear the mortars they use pretty much everywhere in town. We have been in Ventura for past couple of years for dog shows and they also only have public displays but they also have several shows within a 10 mile or so radius and the mortars are clearly audible. My husband and I strive to expose our puppies to lots of noises when they are here. We get the holiday poppers and watch loud action movies with the surround sound on so the pups learn it is no big deal, just everyday kind of things because you just never know when they may be exposed to loud noises again. Some people say they have good results playing the loud action movies on the 4th so that by the time the fireworks start the dogs just think it part of the show.

    Cute picture! Aren't gerbils just small, caged squirrels to our B's?;) Cute collar, too. Is that a 2" martingale? I've been looking at all the links posted lately (re: daughter's/dogs X-mas surprise) but can't picture in my mind how the hound collars will look on my dogs. (They always show the large hounds as 'models'…..don't they know our Basenjis are much prettier on the runway??:D )
