Dog Walks Man: A Review (Wherein I Pass the Pet Travel Book Club Torch)

By Edie Jarolim | Published: January 12, 2012

Aside from the fact that Frankie has little, short legs and follows close behind me rather [...]

Here is what he wrote on Following Atticus’s Facebook page about the review on A Traveler’s Library, the co-host of the club: It’s windy and cold outside and I’m lying [...]

Pet Travel Thursday: Passports and Pooches with Purpose

My experience with pet bloggers has been dramatically different. Our shared concerns — and our shared traffic — have accomplished amazing things, from getting food donated to shelters to getting individual [...]

The Pet Travel Book Club Kicks Off with Steinbeck’s Travels with Charley

By Edie Jarolim | Published: November 10, 2011

Travel Thursday: Tailing John Steinbeck

By Edie Jarolim | Published: October 12, 2011
I love serendipity.* I had made plans to interview John Woestendiek, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and the author of Dog Inc., for Animal Cafe because I thought a top-rate writer who was on the road for a year with his dog might have interesting things to say about  pet travel. I didn’t know anything about [...]

I was recently posed a challenge by my friend Vera Marie Badertscher of A Travelers Library that’s been making its way around the interwebs: Pick out your best posts in seven different categories and then pass the challenge along to five more bloggers.  Called — very aptly — My 7 Links, it was started by [...]

Wordless Wednesday: 6/15/2011

By Edie Jarolim | Published: June 15, 2011
These Parisian pups Spanish Pulis *came to my attention via a rather circuitous route. My friend Vera Marie Badertscher, blogger at A Traveler’s Library and author of the wonderful new Quincy Tahoma: The Life and Legacy of a Navajo Artist (I’m sending you to the blog, where you’ll find two surprising dog-related reviews), sent me [...]

36 Hours in Tucson: Canine Edition, Part 1

By Edie Jarolim | Published: January 28, 2010
Sometimes I’m way ahead of the curve. For example, I’ve been blogging about doggie dental care since the beginning of this month, well in advance of the designated Pet Dental Month, February. (Of course, I’m not big on designated months; see November Is Pet Diabetes Month: Oh the Irony). Sometimes I’m far behind it. On [...]
