I am allergic to cats, for one thing, but I generally don't have to worry about having a big reaction if they're in a store or somewhere where their fur is not in my face, or I don't have to have my head on something where they've been.
I, personally, like the idea of having animals around, as long as they are friendly and won't bite, etc. Heck, if it were practical, I'd take my two White's Tree Frogs, Myra and Ivan, with me when I went out, but they probably would not enjoy themselves. I could totally see myself driving down the road, or in a Home Depot with Ivan on one shoulder and Myra on the other. ...and, I've never heard of anyone being allergic to frogs. ~Theo~

I have 4 cats who don't travel any place with me...they wouldn't like it even though I'd love to take them with me. But, when I go to a store and see people with their pets, that always makes me happy, unlike seeing people's kids which always makes me crabby when they are yelling and running around. I do understand about people with allergies and how being around pets can trigger allergies/astma attacks. I think the places that are pet friendly are great and I frequent those stores. Hopefully more places will become pet friendly...although I understand about restaurants and cafe's not wanting pets in the area.

We've just arrived home from a week long visit to Somerset in the West Country. Not only were W/we able to take O/our two Yorkies with U/us - W/we stayed in a beautiful, 400 year old thatched roof cottage located in the prettiest of villages - but they were allowed into every single bar/restaurant that we went to, both there and in neighbouring villages, and would have been allowed into the majority of those that W/we didn't, judging from the 'Dogs welcome' signs outside. (Equally surprising was the fact that W/we could even take them into the Caves at Cheddar Gorge (free of charge) and on the Lynton/Lynmouth water powered cliff railway (again, free of charge).)
I tell you, there's a lot to be said for country living. Words |

I live in Florida and rent a house here. Have never had a problem with my dog being refused access. Apartments here generally have a size limit of 2o lbs. as well as a pet deposit, but do not charge a monthly rent for the dogs, generally. Rental houses generally charge a pet deposit and some have a size/breed restriction, but most just have breed restrictions.

Craigslist is a good place to look for rentals, just in case you do move to FL.

I live in a very pet friendly area - our "dog park" is a 7 acre bit of land owned by the city. They recently had a doggy halloween parade up there.
Its beautiful and a great place to take dogs. And there is an enormous bike-trail network that runs through all of the neighboring towns which, again, is fantastic for dog owners. Both of my current work-places have an open-door dog policy; though dogs only come to work in the summer months at the school due to allergy issues during the school year. Provincetown is also a fabulous dog-friendly town. I think it was voted 'most dog friendly town' in America in 2010. A huge number of hotels/motels/b&b's and cottage rentals allow dogs. Public beaches allow dogs (on leash), there is a dog park and many restaurants allow them in the al fresco dining areas. Having traveled cross-country one way with two cats (so *not* fun for anyone, btw) and then back the other way with one dog....I was very impressed with Starwood Hotels (W, Westin, Sheraton etc); each place accommodated my pets graciously.

Either way, it's going to be hard to adapt to returning to an area where so many restrictions apply in terms of dog accessibility. Words |
