Women and Travel: When the sexual predator is in your travel group

I saw an inquiry from a fellow female travel blogger in a closed, private group asking about a press trip she had been considering but had heard rumors about.

24 hours of Josie 🐾 have been such a joy as she 24 hours of Josie 🐾 have been such a joy as she has already proven to be every bit of the cuddly, playful, curious, gentle doggie we knew she would be. Will she be put outside to guard livestock? No. She is far more likely to be on the couch getting belly rubs and watching TV with us, or going for long walks in the park or around our country cottage, or falling asleep in her cushy bed.
I’d like to introduce you to the newest member o I’d like to introduce you to the newest member of our family: Josie 🐾  She is a 2 year old Great Pyrenees mix - yes, I know, completely opposite from our previous fur babies. She loves cuddles and scratches, walks, and kisses. She also seemingly loves #Survivalofthethickest and her new bed. 

We are teaching her to do more than just sit on command, and have yet to hear her bark, though based on her in-take form at the shelter, she will at the mailman. 

Thank you to everyone at @schuylercountyhumane for connecting us with this sweet angel. We are going to shower her with all the love. 💕 Support your local humane society.
