Roadtrippin' with Rover

I think it’s safe to say pretty much every ear perks up when they hear, “wanna go for a ride?”  Or, who can resist the ever popular, “wanna go Bye-Byes?”  Us humans aren’t the only ones who genuinely appreciate a good ole’ roadtrip!  I miss that tail (or “nub”) wagging SO uncontrollably it could have hurt somebody ~ including themselves!  Or the whiplash inducing turn of the head and running/sliding towards the door…?  If you have/had one ~ you know exactly what I’m talking about! Tony & I have been truly blessed with 3 of the most incredible furry family members anyone could ever ask for.  I have no doubt our girls, Gyp-C, Bella & Roxy, loved every second of crossing that Rainbow Bridge. Just another roadtrip under their collars. God bless their beautiful souls. 

I have some pretty fond memories with our furry co-pilots and am looking very forward to bringing another Roadbum Beast along for some future roadbummin.’  They certainly make things more interesting.  However, a well informed and planned trip with “Rover” in tow make things much easier and enjoyable for ALL involved.  In my ongoing endeavors I am finding more and more “Pet Friendly” places of business.  People love animals and business owners are becoming increasingly aware that if they welcome and cater to them ~ their owners will come!  EVERYONE wins!  What a “PAWsome” idea…

I have thrown together some sources of what I'm hoping will be helpful and fun information for you and yours whilst you’re out galivanting!  Some articles are a little dated, however, I found still offer great info, advice & ideas.  The abundance of eating and drinking establishments that are pet friendly is not only amazing, their popularity is growing every single day!  So, "Let 'Rover' jump in, put her in drive, plan some spontaneity and let the magic begin!"
