Road Trippin

We’re off once again to the southern US for a little peace, quiet, and family. It will be exciting to bring the girl with us to visit the farm this time. She will run through the horse paddocks like a maniacal beast. I hope she will avoid getting bowled over by goats, unlike the last visit. Maybe she’ll even take another world’s smallest bath! We can only hope.
Ooh La La: International Travel for Pets

Most people have no intention of traveling abroad with their pets. In NYC, we have a population of jet-setting people who like to bring along their pets where ever they go.
Whether you are traveling just a hop-skip over to Canada, or moving to France for the next two years, here are a few tips to get your pet on the plane and onto the next adventure.
- You should expect to pay for a few things, such as a veterinary check-up, crate, pet airline ticket, and a pet passport.
- Microchips are mandatory in just about every country you want to visit with your pet. This is doubly important in island countries where the government may be very strict on your pet due to their rabies-free status (the US is not rabies-free, so your pet is a suspect to them).

Many apologies for the quiet month here at NYCityPets! Wedding planning, long commuting, too much knitting, blah blah blah, excuses.
Lizz and Honey are back and more fun is coming your way this week.
For now here are photos from the farm, our annual retreat destination. We love NYC, but sometimes you need some R & R!

NYCityPets apologizes for the past week’s silence. We were on the road to visit the Sunshine State and to transport a fine fellow named Cow from an NYC rescue to his new farm home in FL. Back to regularly scheduled pet talk after some photos of Cow in his new blue heaven.
Dog Friendly Communities

NYCityPets is visiting Ithaca, NY today for the conference to create Dog Friendly Communities. Currently, park goers have to break the law to run their dogs without leashes in Ithaca. Conference organizers hope to gain momentum on the dog park movement today. The larger goal of today will be to establish an organization to assist dog owner groups (you know, the people who volunteer to clean poop out of dog parks). If you want to help make your community more dog friendly, then stay tuned.
Today’s cold, rainy weather makes it a great day to hole up and talk about dogs.
