“Dear Honey…” – Ask the Director of Barketing
Sniffing out the scoop (and the poop) on all things dog-life!
Hi, I’m Honey, the Director of Barketing at FIDO Friendly Magazine—I chase stories, fetch answers, and take my title very seriously (except when I see a squirrel).
Got questions about how to be the goodest travel buddy, hotel guest, or jet-setting pup? Sit. Stay. Read on.
Q: Honey, how do I NOT embarrass my human at a fancy hotel?
– Moxie the Mini Schnauzer, Denver, CO
A: Moxie, darling, petiquette is everything! First, no barking in the lobby. (That bellhop is not an intruder, even if he’s wearing suspicious white gloves.) Keep your human on a leash—they tend to wander—and avoid marking your territory on the fancy potted plants. Trust me, nothing ruins a five-paw review faster than a piddle on the palm.
Q: I’m going on a plane for the first time. What should I know?
– Baxter the Basset, New Jersey
A: Oh, Baxter. Flying can be ruff! Choose a carrier that’s airline-approved and cozy—think spa day, not prison cell. You want good airflow, just enough room to turn around, and maybe a little blanket that smells like your human (or cheese). Bonus points if it matches your fur for those travel selfies.
And here’s a tip: no matter how cute you look in the security line, TSA will NOT give you belly rubs. I tried.
