"Our Fall Best Friends Day & Weekend trips offer a wide array of dog-friendly itineraries and
activities in highly desirable fall locations throughout the Northeast," stated Blue Sky Dogs
founder and owner, Tammy McCarley. "We're offering something for every dog and owner this fall
in locations covering the Northeast from the Hudson Valley to Long Island's North Fork, the
Catskills and Vermont."
Dog-friendly day trip offerings include fall foliage hikes, pet photography workshops, wine
tasting and even a dog-friendly cruise up the Hudson River. Best Friends Weekends include a
Howlin' Halloween Weekend in the Catskills, and a trip to the Two Dog Lodge in Stowe, VT with a

"We're very excited about our fall travel schedule and the opportunity to continue to offer dog
owners the opportunity to get away with their best friends to places they never dreamed of
traveling to with their dog," said McCarley. "Our trips welcome singles, couples, families and
children, as well as dogs big and small, young and old. We truly aim to put together weekends
away that everyone will enjoy - both human and canine."
Tammy McCarley and her faithful canine companion, Sienna, founded Blue Sky Dogs, The Canine
