You’ve heard of first world problems. But your true suffering comes from Dog World Problems.
Best City for Pet Travelers
Gasp! Cape May, New Jersey is behind New Smyrna Beach, Florida in the voting for Best City for Pet Travelers over at Go Pet Friendly.
I guess my warnings from yesterday didn’t convince you to vote against the town that sounds like a noise you make while blowing your nose.
So let me show you what you’re missing in lovely, pet-friendly Cape May:
If you’re convinced that Cape May is an awesome place to travel with your pet, go vote now. You can only vote once per round in as many brackets as you wish. Cape May is 9th up from the bottom.
And if you decide to visit New Smyrna Beach anyway (traitor!), don’t toss a stick in the water for your dog to chase. If you do, you’ll be sorry.
Your Turn: Honey enjoys playing mini golf with us. What’s the strangest activity you’ve ever done with your dog?

You had me at dog-friendly… that and the dolphins!
Kristen–well minded
Looks like fun!
Taryn
OK, I voted…..I grew up in South Jersey…not a fan of any of the beaches. They have the audacity to charge you to go on the beaches! Plus the water is too cold!
Strangest activity we do with our dogs is jetskiing. When they see us getting the gear ready, they go sit by the car so they aren’t forgotten 😉
Pamela
After living in Philly for years, the best thing about the Jersey beaches was that I could get there in an hour or so. Can’t say that about the Virgin Islands. 🙂
BTW, do you have any photographic evidence of the dogs jetskiing?
Taryn
Since we always think safety first, I don’t have any great pictures of the boys jetskiing…it requires both of us to be on the jetski, making sure the footing stays safe.
But if you go to this old post: http://cardiganshirecorgis.blogspot.com/2009/06/another-day-on-water.html
you can get the idea 🙂
Pamela
Taryn–thank you so much! You just made my morning. Every gloomy day should begin with pictures of corgis on jet skis.
We get a lot of comments when we kayak with Honey. I can only begin to imagine the attention you get when the dogs go by on your jet ski. Let’s hope spring comes soon so the boys can get back to the water.

We love Cape May! It is such a beautiful place to visit! So we’re heading off to vote!
Pamela
Thanks so much, Maggie. Glad to find another fan of such a pretty town.
Nailah Bone
I’ve never been to either but based on your pictures I’m definitely voting for Cape May! You should be the town’s mascot! 😀
Pamela
From your mouth to the Cape May tourism bureau’s ears. 🙂 Honey would love to be their mascot.

Don’t swallow the golf ball Honey!
Sage
What a pretty place! And even better, it’s pet-friendly.
Pamela
And best of all, from my opinion, not Sage’s, it’s mud-free. 🙂
Flea
Voted! I’m not a big fan of Florida, mostly because it’s just NOT dog friendly.
Pamela
And yet there are tons of Florida cities entered in the brackets. If Cape May moves on, we’ll be competing against Key West, Florida. I assume I can count on your support? 🙂
And what’s not pet-friendly about a state swarming with alligators?

Cape May IS awesome! I have a feeling your town has a better shot than mine does yet again. *sigh*
Pamela
I’d say any place that gets snow in the winter would have a tough time going up against Sanibel Island, Florida. 🙂
But you still have time to rally your many fans–perhaps by posting one of your lovely photos on FB tonight.
