THE Source for Luxury, Pet-Friendly Hotels!

This show was wall to wall information! Janine Franceschi joined us from PAW – Pet Friendly Accomodations Worldwide at Luxurypaw.com. Janine and I met in New York during the Westminster weekend and she was a delight to talk to then and now. You know…we had such a great time talking I completely forgot to have her discuss her radio show on Pet Life Radio! She even had me on her show a couple of weeks ago! You have to check out her blog because she is always updating it with new hotels and great information. If you are taking a trip you have to check in with PAW first to see which hotels will take your dog. Janine’s site is the only one that I know of that has the weight of your dog in the search and they only show 4 STAR HOTELS. Great lady, Great Site, I can’t wait to talk to her about her upcoming trip down the East Coast. Thanks Janine for sharing with us!

PET SHELTER OF THE WEEK

Susie Keel From Staffordshire Bull Terrier Rescue of America

"...a foremost all-purpose dog"

Susie Keel of Florida joins us to talk about this most misunderstood breed. This is a great breed and I, for one am a big fan! Once my “schedule” changes (notice I didn’t say ’slows down!’ Ha!) I will definitely be looking to adopt one of these dogs. It is a perfect size and like any dog, if treated with love and kindness, it will love you right back! Learn why this breed is known as the “Nanny Dog!”
