Our dog goes with us EVERYwhere.... and there are LOTS of hotels that welcome dogs. The other solution here in Panama City Beach is the Beaches Pet Motel... kinda cool if your condo or hotel won't welcome your pooch, cos you can take your dog to the "motel" at night - where he/she can enjoy a slumber party with friends, then, you can pick him/her up in the morning and hang out together, go for walks, etc. The place is owned by vets, and they do a GREAT job - brand new building - nice folks.... nice runs. It's a compromise, but - a pretty cool one. Lots of great tips about traveling with your pet and how to make them comfortable, plus contact information on their facility at:

You know, we love our governor - Jeb Bush. He recently signed the "Doggie Dining" law - allowing restaurants in Florida to accept dogs if they wish. So, remember - if you are taking your pup out

- remember to dress for dinner!
