Where Has Your Pup Been?

A friend and I were shooting the breeze the other night, luxuriating in the fact that summer has finally hit the Pacific Northwest. It's been too long since we've had one—two years as a matter of fact—and we were making the most of it! It was one of those fantastic evenings where the air is the perfect temperature and so is the wine.

Our conversation covered the map: cooking, politics, kids, politics, dogs, politics, and then, since we were covering the conversational map, maps. I hauled out an old road atlas and we gazed at different states we'd visited and reminisced about our travels together. From there we wandered on to which dogs we had on which trips. Well, Bella had about enough of our talking about those dogs. She wanted to participate! So here are the states Bella has mountain biked, hiked and walked through in her short 27 months of life.

Bella's (orange) journey through the West.

Not bad for a whipper-snapper, eh? Where has your pup been?

My two are boring. They have been to FL and GA.

Bela can't travel. Her car sickness just makes her miserable. And I'd like to travel with Daisy, but she won't poop on a leash so I'd have to really plan ahead since she is also not trustworthy off leash.

Our first dog used to get horribly car sick until she realized at the end of the ride was FUN (usually mountain biking). Somehow she out grew it. Another friend gives their pup Blue Buffalo Tranquility Jerky (http://www.bluebuffalo.com/dog-treats/blue-jerky-tranquility) and for their dog, it does the trick. She just curls up and sleeps.
