Breaking Out of the Doghouse

You work all week and want to relax on the weekends — get away perhaps? The only thing keeping you on the leash at home is you can’t bear to leave your furry friend behind.
    Your problem is solved by Visit Maryland’s new directory of Fido-friendly destinations. The list includes places throughout Maryland where both you and your pet are welcome to visit, stay or play.
    Anne Arundel County is a pet-friendly kind of place, with a dedicated website of places you and your dog can visit and things you can do, from dog parks to boating expeditions to historic sights to shops. Bringing anything but a pocket pooch to Annapolis Pottery, however, might be equivalent to a bull to a china shop. Browse at www.visitannapolis.org/

    In Calvert County, stroll with your dog in Annmarie Garden or along the North Beach Boardwalk.
