Today we’re checking out Bishop’s Lodge Ranch Resort & Spa in Santa Fe, the PERFECT wintertime getaway for pets and their people. Bishop’s Lodge is a great pet-friendly place to stay in New Mexico, featuring lots of running space and fresh, tasty snow–YUM! Wow – check out the historic Lamy Chapel – great up and down action here! And plenty of room to roam at this 450 acre resort!

Jacuzzi time, or maybe I’ll just lounge poolside – talk about pet friendly! At check-in pets receive a warm welcome from the staff and even a doggie treat! Off to my suite to relax. A cracklin’ fire, gourmet doggie biscuts — pets get the whole package! I give Bishop’s Lodge my special “5 PAWS” rating.

Travelin’ Jack here – roving bull-dog reporter. My job: checking out pet friendly spots around New Mexico. Whenever I’m in Silver City, I stay at the pet-friendly Holiday Inn Express! The pet-friendly hotel features comfortable rooms, HDTV, and for the humans in your party, enjoy a complimentary full hot breakfast, have a workout in the fitness center and enjoy a relaxing soak in the Jacuzzi.

The Holiday Inn Express in Silver City is my kind of place!

Travelin’ Jack here!  Roving bull-dog reporter from the road! My job: checking out pet-friendly spots around New Mexico. This week’s destination: pet-friendly places in Carlsbad, New Mexico.

Checked out the four-footed action here, and bully if I didn’t find it at Ocotillo Nature Trail, right near Living Desert State Park and Zoo. We hit the trail on a foggy morning and blimey took me right back to the old homeland, England. But it was not so foggy that I couldn’t explore the area. Not this curious canine, nope!

The trail winds through this wonderland of cacti – but watch out – keep those feet and nose on the trail. Nope, no needle extractions for this ol’ bulldog! After a nice, long hike, I spied a great resting spot at one of the handy benches along the trail. Hey, there’s nothin’ sayin’ a bully can’t enjoy the view just as the fog is beginning to lift!

Ah yes, another great find by this roving canine reporter! Carlsbad is definitely a great place to explore. Bee-YOU-ti-FUL!  Signing off for now.

-Travelin’ Jack, bulldog reporter! And Bully to you!
