Well, we know for us, it was love at first sight when we ‘discovered’ Carmel-by-the-Sea and the Cypress Inn, the most dog-friendly city and hotel we have yet to find in the US. We love it so much, in fact, we wrote a children’s book about it.

High Paws to the Desert Botanical Garden

Happy (in Emily’s arms), Lucy (red head) & Lady enjoying the DBG’s Dogs’ Day as they sign their latest book, ‘It’s a King’s Life: Holiday Edition.“

What a great day out with the dogs! We give high paws and high praise to the Desert Botanical Garden’s Dogs’ Day, which raised money and awareness for the Arizona Humane Society this past Sunday. We were invited by the gift shop to join the fun with several other vendors and to sign our new book, It’s a King’s Life: Holiday Edition, a Christmas romp that takes Happy, Lady and Lucy to the Garden, as well as the neighboring and very fun Phoenician resort. The dogs worked their little hearts out putting pawtographs in each book. Lady, ever the publicist, took to jumping on the table to attract a crowd. She was quite successful, as it’s a stony heart, indeed, that can resist her charms. We were also delighted to see several of our biggest fans. Thank you for coming out – you know who you are, and we love you.

The best part of the day was seeing many hundreds of dogs with their owners, enjoying a beautiful day in what might be our dearest treasure in the Valley. To meander the trails of the Desert Botanical Garden (DBG), taking in the thousands of plants and the wildlife they attract, is a slice of heaven. To do it with your dog, well, that’s the hot fudge, cherry, whipped cream and sprinkles on your Sunday.

Not surprisingly, this is a very well attended event, so much so, the Garden has increased the event to twice a year. The next date is in January (TBD), and you can bet your dog bones, we’ll be on paw to sign books and enjoy another indulgent day at the DBG. Until then, we just want to say thank you to the Garden for sharing its beautiful property with us and for giving us this incredible opportunity to share it with our canine BFFs.

It’s a King’s Life: Holiday Edition is available at the DBG’s gift shop, their online store, Amazon and our own bookstore.

The book introduces a cast of furry characters that live year-round at the resort and the many incredible things to do for children and their families at this world-famous resort. Every year, there is more to do, including this year’s ‘Surge,’ a splash pad like no other! Hop over to take a look at it while you’re here!

Vote: San Diego Best City for Pet Travelers: 10 things to do with your dog

Double Trouble: Surfing dogs in San Diego. Dog in pink is the one and only Surf Dog Ricochet! Photo by Dan Merchant

By Emily Randolph, owner of Happy Lady Books and an award-winning author of children’s books for luxury hotels and resorts, as well as the author of the ‘It’s a King’s Life‘ kids’ book series about very special, dog-friendly places.

The furry truth (disclosure): We’ve nominated San Diego in GoPetFriendly‘s 2014 competition for best city for pet travelers. If we win the top prize, we will be able to go to San Diego and write our next book in our King’s Life children’s book series about this terrific pet-friendly city. Philanthropy is in our bones®, and so we donate a great deal of our revenue to animal rescue and pet therapy charities. Last year, we donated approximately 40%. We hope we are doing some good and hope we’ll be able to do even more. So, there you have it. We hope you don’t mind our dogged determination nor our ulterior motives and that you will raise your paw and cast a vote for San Diego! Here are the top 10 reasons why we love San Diego:

Sitting pretty at Kimpton’s Hotel Solamar

1. Pet-friendly hotels. You can’t have a pet-friendly city without lots of pet-friendly accommodation choices. San Diego has them all, from budget to ultra luxury, like the US Grant, Hotel Solamar, Loews Coronado Bay, and The Grand Del Mar. Check out these links for all the dozens of choices: GoPetFriendly and San Diego.

2. Beaches galore. San Diego just doesn’t have one beach, it has eight great ones for dogs to socialize and get wet. The Loews Coronado even holds an annual dog surfing competition!

Here are just a few:

• Dog Beach – On Ocean Beach, this popular spot is off-leash all the time!
• Fiesta Island – Located in Mission Bay, this beach has still waters and sandy dunes for dogs more interested in a calm stroll than catching big waves.
• North Beach Dog Run – In Coronado, this dog-friendly beach is also 24/7 off leash and is great for dogs who love strong surf.
• Del Mar Dog Beach – This beach, located in Del Mar, is off-leash post-Labor Day through June 14.

3. Exercise! Beyond beach running there are tons of things to do with your dog in San Diego to meet other furry-minded friends. Check out Leash Your Fitness to find out about runs, kayaking, events, and exercises classes like yoga and doga!

4. Dining. Oh yes, dogs love to eat just as much – OK, more! – than we do. So, what’s an ‘epicurious’ dog to do? San Diego Pets Magazine has a complete listing for you to munch your way through town. One of our favorites? Sally and Henry’s Dog House. You won’t go hungry in this town!

5. Treats just for Trigger. Naturally, in such a dog-luvin’ town there are places catering just to pets’ pallots. Drop by Paw Pleasers, My Best Friends and Bow Wow Beauty Shoppe for tasty treats for a snack on the go or a special birthday celebration.

Happy, Lady & Lucy really dig The Honest Kitchen’s pet food!

6. Pet Stores. Does your dog go ah naturelle? Find your inner growl at Howlistic for natural pet food supplies. Nor, will you want to miss Dexter’s Deli, just up the road in Del Mar (and in Carlsbad), billed as the ‘original health food store for your pet.’ At City Dog, you can pick up your dinner and use the self service dog wash, too. If you’re cantering down Orange Avenue in  Coronado, stop by WagN’ Tails.  San Diego is also home to our favorite pet food, The Honest Kitchen. Notably, it’s the HQ for Petco, too, which might explain the name of the San Diego Padres’ baseball park…Silly me, I thought it was a dog park when I first visited San Diego!

7. Shopping. Shopping with your best friend is no problem in San Diego. Many stores encourage your dog to come on in for a belly rub. Seaport Village is a notable and fun spot to take your dog, though you might not have any time to get into the stores with all the people wanting to pet your pooch! Maybe art is more your thing? Peruse the beautiful works in the Spanish Village Arts Center.

Off-Leash Dog Parks in San Diego

8. Parks. You name it, they have one near you. The City of San Diego has an official page for you to find both on and off-leash parks. Their map off off-leash areas, including beaches, is very handy.

9. Boating. Ahoy, Fido! Perhaps your dog loves to power boat or sail? By all means, rent a boat and let Fifi play skipper for the day. Head on over to Downtown Boat Rentals at 385 W Harbor Drive.

10. Yappy Hour. And when the day is done, there is nothing more fun than attending a Yappy Hour. While there are several around town, the newest addition is from the Hotel Del Coronado “for guests and locals with pets on its Sun Deck, from 4 to 5 p.m., Sundays starting May 4. Pets can snack and schmooze to their heart’s content while lapping up Evian and kibble, while their owners take in the spectacular ocean setting partaking in pet-inspired libations such as a Greyhound or a Salty Dog.” 

It’s a King’s Life in San Diego® is our next planned children’s book. My husband, Dan Merchant, will be taking photos of our Cavaliers, Happy, Lady and Lucy, all over this great city to produce his famous photo illustrations for our book. We can’t wait to create it for you. Please help us make it a reality and vote for San Diego!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Great Fun for Furry Fans of the Mandarin Oriental, Atlanta

Luxury at its best for pooches at The Mandarin Oriental, Atlanta. Photo courtesy of the hotel.

By Emily Randolph, owner of Happy Lady Books and an award-winning author of children’s books for luxury hotels and resorts, as well as the author of the ‘It’s a King’s Life‘ kids’ book series about very special, dog-friendly places.

Famous celebrities may be fans of the Mandarin Oriental, but now the hotel group’s furrier clientele have something to bark about! The Mandarin Oriental in Atlanta has announced a luxurious new pet ‘MOpup’ dog program – and it’s truly something to bark about!

Organic dog bones for the furry VIPs of the Mandarin Oriental, Atlanta

For a sweet start to their stay, pets are welcomed upon arrival with organic bone-shaped cookies prepared by the hotel’s pastry team. In the guestroom, pets are treated to a cozy bed, water bowl, doggie dental kit (hurrah for sweet-smelling breath!) and a variety of play toys. The in-room ‘MOpup’ dining program offers a selection of special pet-friendly dishes, such as Grilled Steelhead Salmon with Roasted Asparagus and Glazed Carrots, and Dry Aged Beef Tenderloin with Blue Cheese Mashed Potatoes and Peanut Butter Biscuits. Yum! Maybe Fido will allow you to have a nibble, too.

We might like this the best of all given our love of travel: for guests looking to spend some quality time with their pets, the hotel’s English Garden has a dedicated pet-friendly seating area, perfect for relaxing and enjoying cocktails. Pets can explore all of the hidden nooks in the English Garden and also try a non-alcoholic peach flavored ‘MOcktail’ or a coconut water-infused ‘Melon Puptail.’ Pet owners will also receive an ‘Explore FANtastic Atlanta’ map to discover the best pet-friendly places in the city, including the popular walking trails in nearby Chastain Park. The hotel’s concierge team can provide recommendations on Atlanta’s top dog-sitters, grooming services, 24-hour veterinary services, pet hot spots and pet retailers.

Available for purchase are ‘MOpup’ Hoodies designed with the slogan, ‘Keep Calm and Carry Treats.’ Pet turndown service is also available. What more could a pup ask for? He or she will certainly become a fan, too, after sampling this great new MOpup program.

The Kids Eat Free at Kahala Hotel & Resort, Spring Break and Beyond

A ‘Keiki Club’ kid learns how to fish

By Emily Randolph, owner of Happy Lady Books and an award-winning author of children’s books for luxury hotels and resorts, as well as the author of the ‘It’s a King’s Life‘ kids’ book series about very special, dog-friendly places.

Is Hawaii kid friendly? Absolutely! And at the Kahala Hotel & Resort near Waikiki, kids are especially welcome. From spring break and beyond, children – or Keikis, as they’re called in Hawaiian – can enjoy this great resort’s expanded ‘The Kids East Free’ program.

The Kids Eat Free

The Kids East Free is for up to two children, 12 years of age or under, per room or suite, and includes:

• One daily breakfast buffet at The Plumeria Beach House
• One daily lunch item from the children’s lunch menu
• One daily dinner item from the children’s menu
• A Daily gift from The Kahala Boutique
• One daily smoothie for each child

The program is available to guests booking the resort’s popular 4 for 3 room package which already includes 4^th night free, breakfast for 2 adults and free internet plus many other hotel amenities. A minimum stay of 4 nights is required for the package and The Kids Eat Free Program.

The Kids Eat Free Program can also be combined with The Kahala’s Suite Amenity Program for all suite bookings. The Suite Amenity Program itself features generous offers including airport transfer in a sedan car, daily breakfast for adults in the suite, welcome amenity and lei greeting and other complimentary suite services depending on the suite category. A minimum 2-night stay is required for the Suite Kids Eat Free program.

Kahala’s Keiki Club

The Kahala also has a great kids club, aptly named the Keiki Club, for 5-12 year olds, where kids can “make friends and learn about our beautiful islands and rich Hawaiian culture in a safe and fun environment.” Activities for Keikis include:

• Reef walking
• Snorkeling
• Hawaiian Legend storytelling
• Bamboo pole fishing
• Lei making
• Hula Dancing
• Crabbing
• Observing Hawaiian marine life
• Hawaiian Art

Dolphin Dips

Other adventures, called Dolphin Quest, at Kahala include several programs for swimming with the dolphins for families and children, ages 4 and up. Take a dip with the dolphins, have a photo op and even discover what it takes to be a dolphin trainer.

Need an immediate Hawaiian fix? Check out their webcam and you’ll get right in the mood. You can almost feel the warm breezes and warm water against your skin. Better yet, fly there, instead, and have a memorable vacation for both you and the Keikis this spring break.

Kids Soar at Camp Pelican

By Emily Randolph, owner of Happy Lady Books and an award-winning author of children’s books for luxury hotels and resorts, as well as the author of the ‘It’s a King’s Life‘ series about very special, dog-friendly places. 

If you are looking for a flapping good time for your kids in Southern California, look no further than Newport Beach’s Camp Pelican at The Resort at Pelican Hill ®, where kids are just as much VIP guests as the rest of the family. A unique, exciting adventure designed for guests ages 4 – 12, Camp Pelican is a children’s retreat offering both indoor and outdoor activities that entertain while nurturing inquisitive, imaginative and creative minds.

Arrival amenities

Arrival for youngsters is a special experience. Pelican Hill’s youngest guests receive a resort map and instructions for the first piece of a puzzle that is the Resort’s signature Scavenger Hunt for kids. Additionally, children and young adults receive special welcome gifts in their Bungalow or Villa upon check-in. During the summer season, young adults ages 13 – 17 receive a disposable underwater camera.

Activities

Camp Pelican’s Children’s Pool

Camp Pelican is a separate facility away from the adults, just for kids. Indoor amenities include two big-screen HD TVs, popular video games, karaoke, iPod accessories, board games, complete computer stations, arts and crafts, and age-appropriate books and magazines. The outdoor patio area features a spouting bubble jet fountain, a swimming pool, ping-pong and more.

All year round, Camp Pelican offers a weekly schedule of themed days, special guests like the “Lizard Wizard” with his reptile zoo, summer sand castle building and the ever-popular Kids’ Night Out dinner and movie nights. The Teen Adventure Program, for young adults ages 13 – 17, features off-property activities like kayaking, surfing lessons, paddle boarding and shopping excursions.

Storytelling and yoga

If you’re lucky enough to be staying at Pelican Hill over the weekend, children can also participate in a unique, Saturday program called Mindful Octopus. Developed by a mom, the program “introduces the practice of yoga and meditation through the ancient art of storytelling”:

Inspired by the traditional art of storytelling and the ancient science of yoga, Mindful Octopus is a philosophically based program committed to bringing peace, love, and happiness to kids, through a modern practice of story, yoga, and art.

Every Mindful Octopus class is creatively designed to teach “The 8 Tentacles.” A collection of valuable lessons and exercises for kids to learn and practice, in a fun and safe environment.

The eight tentacles include: story, mindfulness, yoga, breath, meditation, self-realization, karma and art. So, not only will children have a tremendous amount of fun at Camp Pelican, they will also learn critical skills that will guide them their entire lives. Makes me wish I was a kid, again.

‘Succeed Through Service’ by The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company

By Emily Randolph, owner of Happy Lady Books and an award-winning author of children’s books for luxury hotels and resorts, as well as the author of the ‘It’s a King’s Life‘ series about very special, dog-friendly places.

As storytellers, my husband, photographer/photo illustrator Dan Merchant, and I are always looking to be inspired in our work with hotels and resorts. The origin of Happy Lady Books is in philanthropy, so we are particularly inspired by civic-minded organizations. Recently, we came across an open-source program, called Succeed Through Service, created by the Ritz-Carlton Company for at-risk children. It’s extremely impressive and an award-winning blueprint for young people across the United States and around the world.

Through Succeed Through Service, Ritz-Carlton employees mentor students in low income communities to follow their passions, imagine futures not previously envisioned, understand the value of giving back to their community, and learn valuable life skills that will help them forge a path of success. Developed in partnership with America’s Promise Alliance, The Ritz-Carlton formulated a core curriculum which leveraged the company’s embedded focus on training excellence and created Succeed Through Service which, since launching in 2009, has benefited over 15,000 students. To expand the program’s reach and impact, The Ritz-Carlton is making the curriculum available to the private sector, non-profits and educators on an open source, non-proprietary basis.

The Succeed Through Service Open Source Toolkit is a practical resource for establishing a comprehensive youth engagement program. It provides a road map on how to successfully partner with a school; engage and prepare employee trainers and mentors; set the stage and inspire the students; implement the curriculum and evaluate its impact. The curriculum includes modules on the value of social skills (eye-contact, a great smile and a firm handshake); healthy eating habits and how to safely handle food; group presentation skills; and the importance of teamwork and collaboration. The Toolkit also provides lesson plans and supporting PowerPoint presentations enabling volunteers to easily deliver the content in an informed, compelling manner, leveraging their own skills and competencies.

On January 30th, MENTOR: The National Mentoring Partnership and the Corporation for National and Community Service, recognized The Ritz-Carlton for outstanding contributions to advancing quality mentoring opportunities for the nation’s youth through the Succeed Through Service program. Honored during an awards ceremony at the 2014 National Mentoring Summit for the “Most Robust and Comprehensive National Youth Mentoring Program,” The Ritz-Carlton was also recognized for participation in the Corporate Mentoring Challenge.

“We are committed to enhancing the lives, well-being and career prospects for young people in communities in which we operate hotels, and our Succeed Through Service program provides a platform for us to deliver on that promise,” said Hervé Humler, president and chief operations officer. “It is our hope that by sharing the Succeed Through Service toolkit on an open source basis, others will be inspired to help young students flourish, complete their education and have a successful and productive life.”

Please share this program with any group you feel might benefit from it.
