Let’s face it. We all love our dogs and miss them big time when vacation time rolls around. Long plane rides are prohibitive and most hotels don’t entertain the canine crowd. But there’s good news. Some hotels in Paris are realizing pet lovers are big business and  opening their properties to pampered poodles, discriminating daschunds and reluctantly . . . goofy golden retrievers.  Be sure to heed the weight limits in these listings:
