Jane: It's coming . . . our first long-distance road trip with Boomer and Daisy. We've decided to load up the politically incorrect (but dog friendly) SUV, drive to Michigan, and celebrate the 4th at a BBQ hosted by my extended family. The entire WoofGang is drooling with excitement--but we're not so sure about the other family members we'll be visiting. You see, while my mom and dad adore Boomer and Daisy, they do their adoring on our turf, not theirs. And then there's the whole matter of puppy-proofing an unfamiliar (to two of the youngest members of the WoofGang) house, and the clash of generations. For my brother's family owns a dear, elderly Schnauzer, WoofGang cousin Gus (pictured upper left). How will the impetuous Daisy and the powerful Boomer take to a new yard, a senior dog, and barbecued food that most likely will be within easy reach of snarfing? I can almost envision it right now . . . and it ain't necessarily pretty.We'll keep you posted and provide a blow-by-blow come Monday. In the meantime, safe travels and a happy July 4 to you all!

WoW!! Road trips are fun. We have been there like you. So many questions etc when being on someone else's turf. Mom says it keeps things very interesting.
ReplyDeleteHave a fun trip-

Hope you have a great time! Think pawsitive.
ReplyDeleteHave a lot of fun - we bet the pups will do very well, certainly better than staying home without you.

Oh boy. This brings back all the anticipation and worry about our arrival in Florida - to a host of challenges. It has gone well. We hope it goes well for you, too. We'll be crossing our paws. (Nobody gets close when there's good smelling food.)
