Take Your Pets With Ya: Jet Setter Pet Carrier

Next time you take off with your pets, check out this Jet Setter Roll On pet carrier ($170) I found on PetSugar to tote Fido along comfortably under your seat. Of course you'll have to check with your airline for restrictions (it's already approved for JetBlue), and check for any additional fees for bringing a pet on-board, but if they pass the test, they (and you) will be rollin' in style. Plus, once you get to where you are going, the Jet Setter turns into a car seat to keep your precious pal secure in the car. I only wish my method of transportation can convert from one mode to another. I guess I'll need to call on a Transformer for that.

Love Week: Tee-Pee Hound Tent

It's a given that I love my dog, but my dog does not sleep in my bed. So the next time we're on the road, how do I keep him in one place at night without toting along his heavy wire crate? I'll be tossing the Tee-Pee Hound Tent ($208) in the trunk before we head out. Samson will have his own little sleeping area, and I'll get a good night's sleep knowing he will keep warm on his included fleece covered sleeping pad. You can pick up one for your 40 pound (or less) pooch at Wagwear, who is notorious for their quality and durability. Plus, doesn't it just bring back memories of when you were a kid and wanted to pitch a tent in your living room? Or maybe that was just me.
