A Jaunt With Joy

This, an iced latte, and protecting our parks
This, a burrito, and bodily autonomy
This, a sushi roll, and lgbtq+ rights
This, a seafood boil, and no one’s illegal on stolen land

Just in case you wanted to know more about me 💅🏻

The look your dog gives you when they know they’re going to the dog park bar!

Every city needs a dog park bar like this one in Knoxville! Tonight was their Rescue Dog Night where all rescues get in for $2 off. Lady has a blast!

Lady decided that out of a whole entire hill of grass, that the best place to poop was RIGHT up against the one street sign pole in that grass. 😅 Hey, she needed some stability I guess.

On my last Sacramento work trip, I coordinated & got to help take 3 daycare dogs w/ our Director to the Hyatt Centric Downtown for a marketing photoshoot! These are a few of the BTS shots culled out of the finals. Just me trying to wrangle, make weird noises, and entice the dogs with treats 😅.

One of our favorite dog friendly hiking trails last year was Emory Gap Falls in Frozen Head State Park, #Tennessee. 🐾🥾

The whole park is dog friendly and there are so many trails to choose from (quite a few include hiking to different waterfalls)!

What was your favorite dog friendly hike of 2024?

Joy’s boyfriend gives her a piggyback ride while he also holds their dog Lady. Joy has her hand up in the air with a big smile, her boyfriend smiles, and Lady looks unamused with this pose. The infamous Mormon row historic barn in grand Teton national park at sunset is in the background.

No, having a dog hasn’t stopped our travels. We’ve had Lady for just over a year now and she’s already gone on multiple cross country road trips, and has visited over 15 states and 6 national parks. 🐾 And we wanna show you how you can travel with your dog too! #dogfriendlytravel

Joy sitting on the floor of the doggie daycare she worked at with her now-dog (then-client) Lady in her lap licking her face as Joy smiles, with a few other daycare dogs around them in the background.

I started A Jaunt With Joy as an ex wildlife biologist & cruise crew, now sharing dog friendly travel & outdoor adventures! We’re based outside of the Smoky Mountains in Tennessee, w/ our bully breed Lady, who was rehomed with us a year ago. She was a daycare client of mine for ~2 years before that!
