If you live in Portland or Seattle, it's a safe bet you have a dog. But me? No, not just yet. Though I already have my little heart set on getting on a dachshund and naming him Louis. It's happening, once I save up enough and bite the bullet. I've already gotten my boyfriend and family invested in this idea so I know they'll hold me accountable.

Anyways, I wanted to tell you about a great new resource for dog owners and wannabe dog owners called Harry's Picks.

It's a national website/social community that offers a trustworthy resource for all services, accommodations, parks, beaches, travel tips and more for dog parents. Whether you're relocating, vacationing, a new dog parent (like me someday soon!) or just looking for something new to do with your pooch, Harry’s Picks is a great site to scour ideas. Also - though it's a national website you can customize your information specific to your region like the Pacific Northwest. Bonus.
