Traveling days

One of my favorite travel companions is my dog, Sasha, but it can often be difficult figuring out where to go with a dog in tow -- especially a 65 pound dog like mine. When you're on the road, you don't always think in advance about what hotels will accommodate your best friend, or what adventures are fun for the whole family.

So with the holiday this week, and tons of people leaving for vacation in the upcoming weeks, I thought I would offer a few links to help you plan your summer travel:

• Cesar's Way: The best vacation destinations for dogs. (Featuring Sonoma, California and Fort Collins, Colorado)
• Bringfido.com All the resources you need for planning a trip with your dog. From hotels to outdoor restaurants.
• American Kennel Club's Tips for traveling with dogs.
• PetsWelcome.com Another great resource for finding pet-friendly hotels and other pet travel advice.
• And don't forget to check out my summer safety tips!
