Hi! Tucker here!
It’s January and you know what that means!
The holidays are over. My doggy gifts have been chewed. And cold weather has set in. Brrr!
I’m going a little stir-crazy so my mom is looking for dog-friendly activities to help me stay out of trouble.
After doing a little bit of checking, she found 5 dog-friendly ideas to try out … and we thought we’d share them with you.
#1. Travel with Your Dog
Traveling is fun. I love to see new places. Meet new people. And make new friends.
Staying at any of these 3 amazing places … where they welcome dogs AND give us lots of room to play outside with our humans … would be fabulous.

#3. Read A Book — About Dogs
January is National Book Month. I love to curl up by a toasty fire next to my humans while they read about me … I mean, dogs.
Check out these 5 good books that are “dog-heavy.” If you’re in the mood for heartwarming, uplifting, or funny — hey, that’s me! — we’ve got you covered.
#4. Practice Guard Dog Skills
Dogs can’t be lazy all winter. It’s not the “dog days of winter” after all. Sometimes you have to do your job — protect your humans, that is.
Watch this video to see some strange things about dogs protecting their humans. It sure surprised me!
#5. Host a Dog Sleep Over
And, last but not least, sometimes you just want to sleep with your friends … or sleep with new friends.
That’s what one dog in Wisconsin did on New Year’s Eve.
I’m not sure who’s more embarrassed — the watchdog or his new friend!
Well, there you go. A few fun ideas for dog-friendly things to do with your humans this winter.
I hope they keep us all out of trouble!
That’s it for me. Til next time!
