Anyway I much more enjoy dog-centric vacations and since I only have him, it's pretty easy for him to come along. I have found more and more places are becoming dog friendly but I guess it just depends on where you are. I am no help on the West coast but it's always wise to just call ahead wherever you are going if there is nothing clearly stated online anywhere. Around this area, many stores allow dogs on-leash (especially little dogs) in stores but you wouldn't know it until you are there. Jackson is quiet & well behaved in public so never causes an issue.

He's been camping, stayed in hotels, etc. If I have to leave him in the hotel (I will only leave him for 1-2 hours tops) I set up a webcam (there's a free app called Prescence that I like -- you can leave an ipad or a laptop on in the room and then connect from your phone so you can see what's going on, 99% of the time he is sleeping... but I like the peace of mind). I am a definite paranoid dog mom LOL. I don't even care anymore.

Another reason for me to get an Ipad!!!
