Pets on the go
My dog Teo is, without a doubt, a major source of happiness and stress-release for me. All he wants to do is hang out with me, run around and eat. Such a nice, simple canine life. I’ve dedicated a ‘pet’ section to my blog – like many pet owners, I believe that Teo is a part of a healthy lifestyle because he makes me so happy (and chilled-out).
So, you probably wouldn’t be surprised to learn that Teo’s a frequent flier – I take him to as many places as I can. He’s 10-lbs, so he comes on the plane with me. When I learned about Pet Airways, I found a perfect solution for people who have larger dogs that can’t fly in the main cabin, but don’t want their dogs to fly cargo.
“Pet Airways is the first airline exclusively dedicated to pets – no humans please – and we take the job of providing a comfortable experience for pets very seriously. We’ll do everything in our power to make sure your pets get the best care during their journey because we’re committed to taking care of our pet “pawsengers” as if they were our own.”
Pet airways cities include LA, NY, Denver, DC and some other cities across the country – perfect for those of us who live a bicoastal lifestyle or just love to travel.
I love the idea of everything becoming more pet-friendly. Below is a pic of Teo gearing up for a trip to NY.
The best stress reliever
The best way to relieve stress (aside from a glass or two of wine)? The dog park. I love it. It’s the place where there’s not a care in the world except for digging, sniffing, roaming, playing and…well, you get the idea. I totally zone out and stop thinking of stressful things, and instead focus on the best thing: my dog.
I found a great dog park guide: www.dogparkusa.com/ click on your state and you and your pup will be good to go.
For people who love dogs
Like many women (and guys, too), I absolutely adore my dog, Teo. I always vowed to myself that I won’t spoil him, but I just can’t help it. The Dog Whisperer would have a fit with me. But no matter how much my friends (lovingly?) make fun of my obsession with Teo, I won’t skimp on his food. I found this awesome food called Orijen – which is all about ‘biologically appropriate, fresh & regional food.’ Which basically means that it’s a zero grain food with only ‘good’ ingredients in it. I get it at The Healthy Spot in Santa Monica but they sell it all over. http://www.orijen.ca/orijen/about/
