Traveling With Your Dog

Audrey joins me more often than not when I’m traveling.  She’s often mistaken for a stuffed animal, and while I fully support stuffed animal travel, I don’t know why people think I would travel with a stuffed dog…but I digress.  Traveling with a dog isn’t difficult, but it’s something you learn tricks to as you do it.  So here are my tips for traveling with girl’s best friend.

1.  Bathroom Break

This seems obvious, but you’d be surprised how easy it is to overlook when you’re in a hurry for a very early morning flight.  Not only will you dog be fidgety, but you’ll feel super guilty, so do what you have to in order to make sure your puppy has a potty break prior to arriving at the airport.

2. Starbucks Water

Flying is dehydrating for everyone, including you dog!  Starbucks provides free ice water, all you have to do is ask, and your dog will appreciate you for it!

3. Travel case

Audrey has a backpack that designed for carrying pets, and she loves it.  She hops right in and she’s always right by me, which is her favorite place to be!  Figure out what works best for you dog, BUT, make sure it fits under the seat! The key is finding a happy medium and making sure your pup will be comfortable during the hours of travel.

4. Paperwork

Have your paperwork in order, especially if traveling internationally.  It will save time and anxiety if you know what you are allowed to have and what they need to make sure your pup is okay to enter the country.

5. Food

Flying with dog food is sometimes allowed, but sometimes not.  This can create difficulties upon arrival to your destination, so do a little research prior to takeoff to find out where you can get your dogs food in the travel destination.

I hope these tips help you! Do you travel with your dog? What are your tricks and secrets? Let me know in the comments!

Ottawa’s New Country 94.3

I love radio visits! They are so much fun.  I love visiting with music lovers, talking about music, and  my favorite part is getting to play my newest songs for radio personalities and listeners!  Here a few photos from my stop in Ottawa at New Country 94.3.

Spring in Ottawa

Right behind the Fairmont was the absolutely beautiful park right next to the Rideau Canal.  It was right in the center of the city, beautiful tulips that had just started to bloom, and a fantastic view of some of Ottawa’s best architecture!  We took Audrey for a walk in the morning to bask in the sunshine and the natural beauty of Ottawa.  What are your favorite things to try in a new city?

Parliament Hill in Ottawa

Having never been to Ottawa prior to this radio trip I had no idea how beautiful the government buildings were, but needless to say I found the marriage between the historic aspect and the modern importance of these buildings to be incredible.  While walking around I was reminded that Canada is a bilingual country.  Of course I knew this, but typically the cities I’m most familiar with speak primarily English.  It was so exciting to hear people speaking both French and English on the streets of Ottawa.  Have you been anywhere and had a similar experience?

Ottawa’s Fairmont Chateau Laurier

It’s not every day you get to stay in a downtown castle, but that’s exactly what staying at Fairmont Chateau Laurier was like.  Finished in 1912 it’s a very old hotel but has all the charm and style of a modern boutique hotel.  The location was great for walking around downtown and generally exploring the city.  Being in the capital of Canada meant that there would be Canadian touches to everything, and the Maple Crepes from breakfast were just one example.  I love hotels that are so memorable I will cherish the experience for years to come, do you have any stays that stick out as fond memories in your mind?

This photo was taken on Damien’s first trip to Nashville. We went to find a waterfall that was two hours away and while there ran into a photographer. He offered to take some pictures of us, without knowing it was Damien’s birthday. He emailed them to us a day later. It’s still one of my favorite pictures. #happyvalentinesday @damien_keeter 💕

As a way to revisit all my photography from various travels, I’ve started writing stories to go with them, as well as enhancing the photos with graphic art. The stories re-envision the photograph as a passageway to another time or place.

I wrote a book! This is a novel that’s been on my mind for more than 10 years and this winter it finally became a reality. I’ve always loved writing but never thought writing a full length book was the plan, let alone something that could expand into more books! The plan is to explore this world of book publishing together as I figure out the best way to bring this story to life. I’m happy to finally be able to share it with you, even if it’s just the cover for now. It’s been a labor of joy and creativity and I hope you’ll join me as I discover this next “chapter”.
