Naples Voted As One Of The Top 10 Pet Friendly Cities in the US to Visit

More and more, people are traveling with their pets. I love traveling with my little Yorkie, Daisy. She spends most of her time in my Florida neighborhood of Estero,  so I know she enjoys getting out of town just as much as us humans. But when you travel with a pet, you need to do your research. So it's critical to know where you can, and where you can't bring them along. According to Trips To Discover, Naples, Florida is one of the best pet friendly cities. Actually, according to their study, 6 of the Top 10 most pet friendly destinations in the US are right here in Florida.

Number one on their list is Asheville, North Carolina. Asheville is loaded with pet friendly hotels and AIR BNB's. There's plenty of accommodating restaurants and ample parks for walks.

Orlando, Florida is number 2 on that list. I've taken Daisy to Universal Orlando several times and stayed at the Loews Portofino Bay. Outside of Universal, Orlando are plenty of other choices. Orlando has the second-highest number of pet-friendly hotels per capita.

Miami is number 3 in the country. We stayed at Fontainebleau last winter and it was amazing. Usually when you bring a pet you'll need to stay on the ground level. At the FB we stayed on the 11th floor. A bit of a walk to get to the pet area but the view was worth it.

That's number 7 in the country. Naples places high on the list thanks to it's large percentage of pet-friendly Airbnb listings. For instance, for $300 a night you can rent a 4 bedroom house in the Vanderbilt Beach area complete with a pool table, ski ball, and pool. And you can bring your dog. Venturing out? Naples has dog parks, but you can't, however, bring your dog to the beach in Naples. But you can at the dog beach just up the road in Bonita Springs. If you have a boat, you can bring your dog on a leash to Keewaydin Island.

Real pets, fictional pets, we love them all.   Most humans tend to love animals.  There's a reason dogs are called man's best friend.

You can talk to your pet and they won't talk back.  They love you unconditionally and they show you.  They make the cutest little faces that melt your heart.

When we lose a pet, it's like losing a member of the family, well it is losing a member of the family.  They become your children, siblings to your kids, they're one of us.

When we came across this list of fictional pets, we had to share.  Ranker recently put a list together of some of the cutest fictional pets on the big screen and television over the last several decades, that you wish were your own.

There are far too many to share here, so you can see all of the adorably famous pups and pets here.  I went ahead and chose the top 15 based off of my discussion with my co worker Joe.

We were both surprisingly passionate about these on screen animals.  I got especially pulled in seeing Shadow from Homeward Bound:  The Incredible Journey.  My kids refuse to watch movies that aren't in HD, so I forget about some of my own childhood favorites.

Clearly from my list, you'll see I prefer dogs.  I did rank these in order of my personal favorites.  Tell us yours in the comments.

By the end of this list, you'll see this movie is a favorite of mine.  Chance was so loveable and playful and always getting into trouble.

Garfield's attitude was my favorite.  Not a care in the world.  Just give him some lasagna.

Sweet and innocent just like little Timmy.  One of my all time favorites growing up.

Seriously?  What's not to love about Tigger!  So much energy.  All. The. Time.  Maybe we should change the term to "Big Tigger Energy"

St. Bernard's are enormous and I'm not sure how I would do with a dog this size in real life.  But, his cuddly face and antics are adorable.

My mom dressed up as Clifford for a book fair when I was in 4th grade.  I always remember that and think that's why he stands out.

Another family reference here.  My brother's all time fave.  Abu is loyal and a true sidekick.

His love for Elroy and George is unmatched.  The way he said "I ruv roo, Reorge."  Aww so cute!

The excitement Dino has greeting Fred is very similar to my dog after going 30 minutes without seeing me.

It's like he's so ugly he's cute, if that makes sense.  But, it would be fun to have a little Gizmo running around.  Not so sure the dog would enjoy it.

Pascal always keeps us laughing.  Good to have around.

I mean what is better than a pet that flies and breathes fire?

Lovable old Comet.  One of my favorite shows growing up.  He was always there to listen, even though he couldn't talk back.  More people should take a page out of Comet's book.

Oh my gosh, Gus Gus!  His little face.  I love him more than Cinderella.

Old and wise.  Man's best friend.  I absolutely love Shadow.
