travel in style my fellow ratties

OK, so you're in NYC, in the middle of winter, what to wear?

FASHION TIP. Well the best dressed will be sporting a fleece one piece union suit. This unit zips up the back, covering the legs and the hind quarters for warmth. It is available in several colors. I prefer the earth tones.

Then there are the snow storms and with that comes the nasty salting of the side walks!

FASHION TIP. Get some of those "Pawz" reusable, disposable rubber boots. They come in different sizes and colors, but most of us ratties will need the small. The small is available in red, and I found that this red really helps accessorize my winter look beautifully.
Besides feeling protected and warm, I get so many second looks, smiles and compliments from everyone who sees me on the street. I JUST LOVE IT!

Oh, and while you are in the big apple and when you need to, make sure you get to 'go pee' on one of those shinny brass hydrants! Now that is what I call "going in style".

ridin' the rails in style

Greetings fellow travel hounds. In todays blog I have a few special tips for ridin' the rails in style!
Posted here is yours truly on board the train which took us from the airport in Albuquerque to Santa Fe, NM. It is called the Rail Runner. It is a sweet ride too.
So here are more things to keep in mind whether you are riding on a train, or plane.

TRAVEL TIP NUMBER SIX
Be super well behaved, and obey your human. Remember you are along for the ride so enjoy it.
You will notice I am wearing my matching red winter parka in this photo.
Efforts like showing off your extremely good manners, having a calm demeanor, being friendly towards your fellow human passengers, no barking and looking cute as a button in adorable clothes like I did on this trip, will help earn you points with both the conductor and the ticket agents on board.

TRAVEL TIP NUMBER SEVEN
Also IMPORTANT, wear your harness or collar at all times, and KEEP YOUR ID TAGS ON YOU.
I don't need to tell you what a nightmare it could be without them.

TRAVEL TIP NUMBER EIGHT
Here is an easy tip to make your ride even more pleasurable. Inside your Sherpa travel bag there is a lovely washable faux sheep skin mat. So here's all you do. Ask your human to take your Sherpa mat from your case and use it as a protective cover on your public train seat. Believe me, it will make for a more comfortable ride AND will also put you in good favor with the other passengers who might take issue with a dog siting on 'their' seat.
If you don't have the sheep skin mat, then a towel, blanket or cloth will work just as nicely.
Look lady, no shedding here! By the way this is also works great for plane rides too.

Hey, take the train, It is so much fun. So many things to see, and very few stops.

That's it for today, Happy Trails, Nam out.
