Everything is more fun with a dog.
Do you have a water loving dog? Or maybe your dog's like Nomii, who didn't like water, but now loves it. Last summer, we bought a kiddie pool for Nomii but he wouldn't get it or even drink from it. However, seeing other dogs have so much fun with dock diving, we decided to give... Continue Reading →
You can't go wrong with Vermont. It's beautiful, has many dog friendly trails and parks, and friendly people. Over the Fourth of July break, we planned a trip to Basin Harbor in Vermont, a Forbes recommended pet-friendly resort, for a break. While Vermont was great, Basin Harbor wasn't fantastic.

Short hair, skinny legs, big ears, and small body - Nomii shivers in the cold! This winter, Nomii is experiencing the lowest temperatures he's ever felt and we are doing our best to dress him right.

Nomii flew from his birthplace in Queensland, Australia, to Singapore in a crate in cargo. But for the rest of his flights, he flew in the cabin with us, his humans.
