If you’re like me, the idea of vacation is exciting, but the thought of leaving my dog behind makes me sad. Thanks to the Internet, I may not have to anymore, and I can still stay somewhere that’s like home away from home.

I have a friend who has successfully gone on numerous house-swapping vacations to Europe while her swapees stay at her home in San Diego.

Given the right circumstanced, I could see this working for us as well. Not to Europe, mind you, but maybe to the coast.

I plan to investigate this site, mainly because I’ve found Greyhound to be a bit different than the average dog (mine is afraid of hardwood floors, for example), but there are also sites like this one that I find intriguing. And if you want to stay in hotels, check out Fido Friendly magazine.

After watching the film The Holiday, I am also more open to the concept, especially if I can get a home like one of the two in the film.

City or country, near of far, when it comes to vacations with your pooch, it’s nice to know you don’t have to choose one or the other.
