Holiday Travel wih the Dogs

Posted by Joy Butler Dec 27, 2007

I suppose, if you're reading this, that you made it through Christmas. It's a wonderful time of year but can also be a bit stressful. We had nice, sunny weather here for the shelter dogs and my grandson to spend time playing in the yard and I made sure they all got extra treats. Jake actually dug a tunnel underneath the steps but that's a story for another time. Now it's time for MY Christmas. We're packed and loaded to spend a week outside Dallas. My dogs will travel in crates in the back seat among all our suitcases and duffel bags. The trip will take around 6 hours. We'll stop once for a potty and drink break. The dogs always love it when we get there because of the huge yard with oak trees. Lots of new dirt to dig in and new scents for them to explore. The weather is always a little colder in north Texas than where I live near the Gulf Coast so I'm packing jackets for us and sweaters for the dogs. When we get back, I'll let you know what all fun things we did. Best wishes for a Happy New Year!
