My hubby found Colby Jack abandoned- hairless, fleas, and 4lbs. He is now our little angel! We think a Maltese mix! Did the DNA and he’s
7 different breeds!! Chihuahua, Toy poodle, Maltese, Lhasa, Shih Tzu, Pomeranian, and dachshund!!

Friendly Service
Kimpton Overland Hotel - Atlanta Airport an IHG HotelThe good - can’t hear the airplanes landing right outside your window. The bad - stayed on a Saturday night and was put on 7th floor. Nightclub above me blasting dance music and the base beat was vibrating in my room. I put my sound machine on high and that didn’t even drown out the base beat. Had drove 9 hours and had a 10 hour drive day Sunday. At least I didn’t have a 4am flight. Ask for a low floor! It was too late for me to change rooms as the music didn’t start until 8PM - when I was trying to sleep. Other than that, nice place, secure parking, felt safe, coffee in lobby AM, good service, and a nice room.

Quiet Stay
Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Mattoon by IHGThis is the second time I’ve stayed here on my travels from FL to WI. The location is off the interstate so it’s quiet and I love having a coffee shop and gas station right next to the hotel. PetSmart is right next door too - walkable. Yes, the rooms are a little old and used, but they have a great little grass area in front and I feel safe here. That’s important to me. Front desk clerk was super friendly and helpful.

Allowed in Picnic Area! Yay
Curry Hammock State ParkWe camped at CH with our pup for 3 nights. Loved it! Colby could go anywhere except the small beach. He was even allowed in the picnic area. Luckily we didn’t run into any sand burs as he’s a Maltese mix and it would have been a mess. We had a great time. Campground is small, quiet, and clean. Not a place for partiers.

A Different World
Kissimmee Prairie Preserve State ParkWe love KPPSP! It’s so peaceful here! We have a small dog, so the ALLIGATORS give me a bit of scare, so I carry Colby in his backpack when we hike here. It’s like being in Montana minus the mountains. Views to forever and the sunrise/sunsets/starry skies are amazing. Lots of hiking and wildlife.

Awesome Outdoor Spot!
Little Jim's Bait & TackleLots of places to sit with your pup! Outside on the sand, under an umbrella, or on the deck under cover …it’s all open for pups. It can get busy so if you have a small pup bring a carrier.

Great Pizzas!!
Graffito PizzaWe stopped for a late lunch during Wag-O-Ween. Dogs are allowed on the spacious patio on the sidewalk in front of the restaurant. The pizzas are wood fired and delicious. Friendly service. Colby enjoyed people watching while we enjoyed the food and drinks.

Wonderful Hiking Spot
Pheasant Branch ConservancyA beautiful shaded and open meadow 3.5 mile loop encompasses a greenway with a natural spring - option to hike to the top of a steep hill for an amazing view. Fido needs to be leashed and the trail is multi-use, so beware of bikers if your pup likes to zig zag around! The path is hard packed or mowed grass. Colby is a little 8lb Maltese mix and he enjoyed sniffing and being carried around the loop! It’s a beautiful spot for a nice walk!

Great Patio for Pups
Fiddler's RestaurantHad a late lunch on a quiet Sunday afternoon. Two other people on the deck enjoying drinks with their dogs. They brought water with ice for Colby and he had plenty of room to sprawl! Food was good - got there just in time for the 10 under $10 lunch specials.

Definitely 5 Bones!
Swampy's Bar & GrilleSuper pup friendly!! Allowed at the bar, under the roof, and on the patio!! Also awesome river edge seating while you wait for a table. Everyone is so friendly! Perfect lunch at Swampy’s!! Food is good too! Colby had a ball people watching!

Rainbow Springs SP very Pup Friendly!
Rainbow Springs State ParkWe camped at RSSP for 2 nights. Very pup friendly. Had a wonderful time. my husband even commented “I feel like I’m in a dog park!”. All the campers had pups and all were well behaved and sweet! I didn’t see one “pile”. Everyone picked up after their pups. Clean, quiet, and beautiful!

Nice Trail
Point ParkDog Friendly!! Nice trail around the point and beautiful vistas. Admission is $10 and unfortunately you have to pay for parking now. Minimal parking spots. Opens at 8:30am and it was quiet on a Sunday morning at 8:30am!!

Nice Dog Area
Holiday Inn Express Calhoun South an IHG HotelStayed one night. Reasonable pet fee of $25. Nice grassy pet area between the Baymont Hotel and HIE. Rooms very large and clean. Noise of Interstate a bit loud, but that’s to be expected!! Colby enjoyed his stay :)

Welcoming!!!
Fat TuesdayWe spent 3 hours here with our furry pal!! No questions asked. Had a wonderful time and Colby welcomed the customers as they walked in! He even sat on the bar rail and watched the party on Duvall St!
