Summer time is here and you\u2019re more than ready to introduce your toes to a ribbon of sand. You\u2019ve earned it, partner, and so has your furry companion. Sure, your dog is going to try to snag a burger or two from that picnic table (I\u2019ve been guilty of the same!). But does that really mean he deserves to be nixed from the guest list? I think not. Smell rules everything for pups like us, so you can hardly ask him to kick his addiction to grilled delicacies.<\/p>\n

Headed to Hawaii? Grab a glue gun and some silk flowers. Boom: Your puppy\u2019s collar is now a stylish lei. You\u2019re welcome. Off to New England? I hear cats in sunhats are all the rage on the eastern seaboard. Your forearm may resemble a scratching post in the short term, but think of all the great pics of fluffy in her fun bonnet. Those, my friend, will last a lifetime.<\/p>\n

Nothing turns up the heat on your vacation like going home with some funny summer animal pictures (ok, tequila shots and beach volleyball don\u2019t hurt, either). Keep your shutter finger in shape and your eyes peeled for some pet shenanigans, and you\u2019re bound to have some frame-worthy shots in no time this summer.<\/p>\n

Think your fur baby has what it takes to make it onto my \u201cPets in Travel\u201d blog? Next month I\u2019ll be featuring photos of patriotic pooches and cats with devotion to the red, white, and blue (in honor of Independence Day, of course). Submit your photos on Facebook and Twitter using the hashtag #petsintravel.<\/p>\n

Without further ado, here are my favorite summer pet pictures. Some of these furry creatures are ready to get outdoors and feel a summer breeze through their whiskers\u2026and others have already reached their sweet nirvana.<\/p>\n

Choosing vacation wear that is perfectly on fleek is. So. Exhausting.<\/p>\n

You gonna finish those pretzels? The selection of canine treats on this flight is abhorrent.<\/p>\n
