Have Dog, Will Travel
It can be hard to travel when you have pets, especially if you need to fly to wherever it is you're going. Rental cars don't like having pets in their vehicles because they leave behind dirt and hair, putting extra miles on your own car is hardly ever ideal, if you do fly there's always the worry about having to have Fido or Fluffy in the cargo hold, and even the best-rated boarding facilities can't always erase the lingering guilt over leaving a member of the family behind. But travelling with some pets-- dogs in particular-- can be very rewarding for both you and your dog.

It just means that you need to prepare a bit to ensure that your canine companion is safe and comfortable during your adventures. This requires a bit of planning but will be worth it when you and your BFF are sharing precious moments together in nature.

Rocky Roads
On the 9th of April my life changed. I got otto. It’s a weird thing really, that a little being can create such a large impact. And the funny thing is, is that no matter how prepared you think you are, you are never prepared for what is about to walk into your life. Well, this is our journey. Through all the chewed up carpets and shoes and bitten hand and feet. I will love you through all of it :). I’ve always wanted to start a blog about my life. And I know what you’re thinking. “Everyone wants to start a blog”. Well, I guess I’m like everyone else then but this has genuinely been my dream from a really young age. I’ve tried everything. Dancing, figure skating, music, acting, academics but nothing hits me the same as travelling. The thought of emursing into a culture, the food, the music, the dancing. For me, it really fits it all together. That’s why I love to travel. I love to feel the way other people live. And not just see it but feel it, live in it and experience it for myself. This is what I want to do. Pack my suitcase 🧳, take otto and follow the horizon. And as cheesy as that sounds, I like not having a plan. I enjoy being spontaneous and living in the moment, not worrying about what will happen next or what I have to do next. Feeling completely free of all responsibilities and duties (apart from caring for Otto). I guess the idea is to figure out who you are. For some it’s working, others it’s staying at home, going out, meeting friends but for me it’s Travelling. When I travel I can truly find out who I am and who I want to be.

What Pets Would Like Which Holidays?
It’s the start of the new year, so as soon as you’re back in work your mind might already wonder to what you could be doing when you jet off on your holidays, probably sometime in the summer. You’d be bringing out your sunglasses from the back of the drawer, pulling out those swimming shorts or costume from the back of the drawer and you’ll be looking for your passport that you’ve lost again. However, one thing we don’t take on holiday with us, especially if we’re jetting away, are our pets. So thinking hypothetically, which pets would prefer which types of holiday?

Traveling with Pets: How to Prevent Motion Sickness in Dogs
You’re in your car with your dog when all of a sudden, your dog vomits all over the backseat. Unfortunately, this is not an uncommon occurrence. All dog owners know that motion sickness is a severe issue in dogs, and it’s not just related to long car drives. Even though most dogs enjoy car rides, sometimes, a short trip to the park can prove to be very difficult for them.

Stratford Upon Avon’s Cat Cafe
Shakespaw Cat Cafe hides down the hill near Lloyd’s Bank at number six, Union Street. I stumbled upon the cafe by pure luck when I followed the signs. I believe it’s a recent thing, as it wasn’t there when I visited last year unless I missed it. Even though the first cat cafe in the world opened in Taiwan in the late 90s, I found out about them in Japan during an extensive tour around the country.
