I’ve never taken a vacation, and I’m determined to take on this year in Spring. I’m in Pittsburgh area and would like to bring my dog along (he is too anxious for boarding or a dog sitter), and don’t want to put him on an airplane. Any ideas?

The best I’ve been able to come up with is renting a small island with a cottage on the Great Lakes. My pup could run totally free on the island for a week and live his best life chasing squirrels and swimming. I’m not much of a nature fan, though, so it might be a bit boring.
