ROAD TRIP!
Phod and Brooke |
The first 250 km Phod was pretty anxious. He never threw up, but was drooling - a lot. Given the challenges I had getting him into the car, I was worried about our first rest stop, but my worries were for naught. While Phod was happy to get out of the car, he was equally happy to get back in the car. It was after the first rest stop he started to relax. At the second rest stop I gave him his bed (as I knew he wasn't going to be sick) and he was happy. By the time we were done our trip - 750 km, 8 hours and 15 minutes, my boy seemed happy in the car. YAY!
Kaydee with Phod |
Given the nature of our lives and Phod's car sickness, he has never been to anyone's house before. Phod settled in with no issues. He was happy to see my parents and their dogs Tendra and Barley and my cousins Kaydee and Brooke. The only "issue" we had was a meeting of the neighbour . . . at first he was terrified, he jumped out of the way, but quickly realized the neighbour was a friend and was asking for pets.
I think Phod's favourite moment of the day was the discovery of the beach. My parents place is on Lake Huron, so they have a great beach!
The pictures I have at the beach were taken by Kaydee, a budding photographer, while Brooke, the expert stick thrower, amused Hod.
alls well that ends well.....looks like phod will become a much happier traveling dog :)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad Lee is better and I hope her leg is 100% ok soon. Great that you managed the long distance without incident. Have you rescued that stick from the lake, Phod?
ReplyDeleteWell done to Phod re the car and we can see he is really enjoying the beach. Maybe he will start to associate the car with good things? Hope so. Have a serene Sunday and get in some big easy today.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes Molly

Hi hi hi! Ojo here! Cousin Lee, I am very glad to hear that your paw is starting to feel better. I have never been stung, but my Old Dog Friend Brody tells me that it hurts very much. Many licks to you and your paw!
ReplyDeletePhod, I do not like long rides in the Car either. I am glad you made it, and that you found a fun little person and such a pawesome Beach!!!!
That is tremendous new. Hopefully, Phod will become a seasoned traveller once he realises how much fun he can have at the end of a car ride.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you both survived the trip. Can't wait to hear more about your adventures.
ReplyDeleteYay for a successful road trip!!!!!
