Puppy Summer Road Trip to New York and Canada – Part 2 (Keuka Lake)
Last week I shared details about the first leg of the vacation my family took this summer. We went from New Jersey, through Pennsylvania, to New York's Finger Lake region, and finally, to the New York and Canadian sides of Niagara Falls. In last week's post, I shared the details and photos of our stops in two picturesque Delaware River towns -- Phillipsburg in New Jersey and Easton in Pennsylvania. We ate in Phillipsburg at a place overlooking the river and did some shopping in the gift shop at Crayola Experience.

A Cool Dog Bed for Puppy this Summer
This post is sponsored by K&H Pet Products, which provided me with a Coolin' Pet Cot in exchange for my review. We have at least a month more of summer here in New Jersey, and it's been a hot one!

We recently got our pup a Coolin' Pet Cot by K&H Pet Products. The cooling dog bed has given him some escape from the brutal summer heat. During the day, my family's Shih Tzu usually prefers to sleep on the cool slate by our fireplace or Continue reading...
Puppy Summer Road Trip to New York & Canada — Part I
My family and I recently got back from an amazing road trip to the Niagara Falls, Canada and New York's Finger Lake region. Best of all, we brought our new Shih Tzu puppy, Mochi, with us! The trip passed by in a blur, and I can't believe that we are back home already. We adopted Mochi in January, and weren't ready to leave him in a kennel. I've read that the Niagara Falls and New York's Finger Lakes region is dog friendly. So we settled on upstate New York as this summer's vacation destination. I used the app, Bring Fido, to locate the puppy-friendly hotels and many of the sites we visited Continue reading...
