Vote for Me!!

HM (Human Mom) is a bit biased and thinks I'm cute. So she entered me in a radio station's AZ top pet contest. You can vote for me once a day until the first round of voting ends.

My First Big Trip...

I'm back from first "real" car trip with my humans! I've been riding around to the store and such but it wasn't nearly as much fun as my BIG car ride to Las Vegas. So here it is... my first travel blog!

The Car

I tend to think of the car as a good place to catch up on my beauty sleep. My Human Mom (HM) and Human Dad (HD) said I did exceptionally well. I didn't really care about the big semi's going by and I didn't feel like chewing on all the baggage. I just went to sleep and occasionally woke up to get out of the car and pee in a new place and eat some treats.

Where I Stayed

HM looked for a place that would let me stay with them and she found the perfect place. I loved the Westin Element in Summerlin, Las Vegas. HM has a friend that works for Starwood Resorts and she learned about this place from her. We stayed in what HM called a suite. It has a cool little kitchen and family room area with a BIG comfy bed. It's called the Heavenly Bed and I slept really good on it every night. The Element hotel staff were very nice to me and they let me sit under the table when we had breakfast. HM and HD both liked it too. They said whenever there is a Westin Element when we travel, we'll stay there! BTW, I was a good dog and didn't have any accidents in the hotel. I always went outside or told my HM that I needed to go outside. My HM says that was very good of me as we don't want the Element to change their pet policy because of bad doggies.

What I Did

HM was there for a coaching certification class. Something about running. I wanted to go because I love to run, but I guess I wasn't allowed as I stayed with HD during the day on Saturday and Sunday. It was fun because he took me to a dog park where I got to meet some Las Vegas dogs and run all over and get really dirty. HD had to put me in the shower afterwards to get me clean before HM got back to the hotel. HD & I also took naps and I played with my toys when he was working on his computer.

My New Friends

Besides the dogs I met at the dog park, I also loved HM's friends, Darris and Heather (who stayed at the same hotel). They are so funny and I was excited to see them at the end of the day when they came to our room for a glass (or two) of human water. I think they called it something else and for some reason it doesn't look like the water in my bowl. They didn't mind when I had breakfast with them too.

The Daisy Dog Trip Review...

This trip was 3.5 paws (4 would be the best)! I loved the hotel and all the attention I got there. I especially loved being with my Humans for the whole weekend and going on walks in new places and seeing lots of new stuff! The only thing I didn't like was some of the restaurants were not dog friendly. They wouldn't even let me sleep under the table in their outdoor area. Other than that, everything else was great.

Below are some photos to show you some of the places I got to see for the first time. Click on the photos if you want to see them full size.

Here I am in Las Vegas!

BTW, this grass is fake (it tasted terrible) and that's my HD with me.

I'm in some place called Wikieup and what is that thing??

Ha! Ha! It has a funny looking dog on it.

Me and HD at the Lake Mead lookout on our way towards Hoover Dam.

Here I am at Hoover Dam. It's really big and kinda scary. That's why HM is holding on to me.

HM is trying to get me to look towards her hand but I chose to look at HD with the camera. Ha!

The Heavenly Bed in our hotel suite. I loved sleeping on it every night.

Our hotel suite had a couch I could lay on to play with my toys and chewy bones.

The floor in the kitchen was really nice for dogs like me. It was cool and easy to clean up.

Beasty Balls

You may have noticed the cool toy in my photo above. My human Mom is a huge fan of Etsy. She found this toy for me there. You can find all sorts of cool inexpensive dog things on Etsy. The place I got this toy, LuluCrateCouture, also makes cool crate beds and covers. I'm also getting a collar bandana from the same place. My bandana will of course have daisies on it!

Daisy Dog Blog under construction...

If you're visiting this... things might not be all that pretty at the moment. My human is trying to make my blog a little more special. Hang tight doggie friends. It's just a "Ruff" at the moment, but it will be looking like a real blog soon!
