This week we set up shop at the Omni Hotel in West Houston. The room came with a nice bed for Eko to lounge on, and the grounds around the hotel have a path for short walks. The biggest perk of the hotel is that it is just down the road from Houston’s best dog …
On our adventure Eko and I have run on trails together, marched in a parade together, rode the Polar Express together, and even attended Mardi Gras together. But it wasn’t until this past Friday that Eko and I had the opportunity to jump into a pool and swim together. Rummy’s Beach Club is an amazing facility (one of …
I took a risk and brought my phone in the pool for this shot, but luckily it paid off! Mr. Eko may be an African plains dog, but today he looked more like a sea lion at Rummy’s beach in Spring, Texas. We had one of our best adventures yet today, and I’ll post the …

We needed some adventure fuel to power our week in Houston, so yesterday we visited Barnaby’s Cafe, a local restaurant named after the owner’s dog. And there are just a few clues at the cafe which might lead you to believe it’s dog friendly. As we waited for the table, Eko thanked me profusely for my …
