If there’s one meteor shower to stay up for this year, it’s by far this weekend’s Perseids. The annual Perseid meteor shower will peak from around midnight on August 12 into the early morning of August 13. With a nearly new moon to keep the skies inky dark, timing for this year’s Perseids couldn’t be more perfect.
Questions To Ask A ‘Pet-Friendly’ Hotel —Before You And Fido Book
28.07.2023 - 20:20 / forbes.com
National Dog Day is coming August 26 (my birthday, by the way). Which brings to mind that many pet owners are faced with a dilemma when traveling: either find accommodations allowing pets, or leave them behind.
Including pets in travel plans is increasingly common — four-legged friends can enhance the travel experience for the whole family, particularly if you know what to expect when staying at a pet-friendly hotel.
Steve and Connie Segner, who spent 40 years working in the pet industry, are owners of super-pet friendly El Portal Hotel in Sedona, Arizona, and suggested important questions to ask when booking.
Which types of animals are accepted?
Some pet-friendly hotels only allow cats or dogs, and may impose breed or weight restrictions. Be sure to ask if there are any limitations on the types of animals that may stay at the hotel. Iguanas? Ferrets? Rats? (Don’t know what to expect on the latter.)
Are there pet fees?
Pets may necessitate extra cleaning and may cause damage, so most hotels charge additional pet fees. Ask specific questions about the fees (if any), and about additional costs that pet owners may expect.
How many pets are allowed in each room?
Some hotels may limit the number of pets to one or two in a room. If you have more animals, you may need to book a second room with another person in order to accommodate them. It can be costly.
Are there special rules regarding pets?
Pet-friendly hotels must prioritize the comfort of two-legged guests, so they generally ask you to follow rules regarding how pets are handled. For example, hotels may prohibit you from leaving pets in the room unattended, or ask that you only walk dogs in designated areas.
What perks are available at the pet accommodations?
Some do not charge any pet fees. Some go all out. The Sedona Inn, for example, was constructed with wood and tile flooring throughout to accommodate four-legged visitors, and has over 1,000 square feet of pet-friendly patio space. Upon arrival, pets receive a “welcome basket” with a blanket, doggie bags and treats. Others offer doggy walks, doggy hiking, doggy jogs, doggy velo(running next to a bike) and other services such as dog massage.

Here are a few steps to alleviate stress and make your trip with your pet as enjoyable as possible.

The US Has a New National Monument Near the Grand Canyon—And It Has Special Meaning for Native American Tribes
Answering the decades-long call of Native American tribes and environmentalists alike, President Joe Biden earlier this week created a new national monument buffering parts of Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona. Meaning “where tribes roam” to the Havasupai people and “our ancestral footprints” in the Hopi language, Baaj Nwaavjo I’tah Kukveni covers 917,618 acres across three distinct sites north and south of the natural wonder. Home to wildlife like bison, elk, mule deer, desert bighorn sheep, and rare cactus species, the protected area encompasses plateaus, canyons, Colorado River tributaries, and countless culturally and spiritually significant sites for the Indigenous peoples of the Southwest.
