Some of us don't like to leave our dogs in kennels - and that can create a real problem when the whole family wants to go on vacation together.
We can hire a pet sitter, but that's also a bit scary. What if the dog doesn't like them, or what if they're careless about keeping the doors and/or gates securely shut? Something bad could happen to our dogs.
The alternative, of course, is to take the dogs along. That alternative requires some advance planning. Unless you're going to be staying with relatives (who also love your dogs) you'll need to find pet-friendly lodging.
Some motel chains do advertise their pet-friendliness, but finding deluxe accommodations is a bit tougher. That's why I was pleased to read about a whole community that loves dogs.
If you happen to love skiing in winter and exploring the mountains in summer, try Crested Butte, Colorado for your next vacation.

Thankfully I have a reliable pet sitter that I have used for years. But when traveling within Florida, I always travel with the dog AND cats in the car and stay in pet-friendly hotels. It's wonderful and they become accustomed to travel. So start when they are young!
