I have to take a break and pause a few days.

Sorry for your loss bro

They look very content; the way our pets should feel.

They have the life, Finn even has a Serta dog bed! So spoiled

You're a good pet owner. That's what our babies need. Lots of loving.

Yep, arrived about a couple of hours ago. 10-15 degrees cooler than South Florida and way less humidity.

Here's my good boy after dipping into the ocean after a very long trip to South Padre Island. He was making everyone at the beach smile and laugh with his love for water

I think his ears might be longer than his legs, lol. He's a cutie. Is he a he, or a she? Either way, a real cutie.

It's a "she". That's Bella. Running on the beach is her favorite thing in the world. She doesn't have a lot of time left (she's 15 1/2) so we made a pledge to get her to the beach as many times as we can this summer and for as many summers as she has left.

Oh yeah, I remember now. Bella! Those ears like that must've threw me off, lol.

PS - love that little doggie for as long as you can.

More than you know. Winston has a history. He shit in the car once when it was just he and I driving to Asheville. In the passenger seat on a seat cover sitting next to me. We were in rural SC. (Fortunately in my wife’s SUV not my car, which was the only good news for me.). It was a very bad day for both of us. I think he ate some acorns or something else bad before we left. We made about 6 more stops the rest of the way and I was driving that Q5 about 100 mph most of the way from that point forward.

We now travel with a dog emergency kit that includes a backup seat cover, towels, a portable bath thing I hope we never use, water for the bath and dog shampoo. I think we have some vinyl gloves and baby wipes in there too. Knock on wood haven’t needed it but I can’t travel without it if they are coming along. Anyone in the back seat stands up and it’s time to stop!

I laughed so hard reading this. Mostly because I can relate. When Bella was a puppy we took her into Boston on the T. She got nervous and shit all over the seat next to me. We had nothing to clean it up with. For about 2 years after that we always traveled with a "shit kit" that was poo bags, a rag, and wet wipes in a ziplock quart bag that I could throw in my pocket or the wife's purse.

Sophie turned out to be even worse. My wife brought her along to the airport to pick me and a coworker up from the airport after a business trip back from China. 13 hour flight and we were both exhausted. Sophie was just a puppy and unknown to us she had been sneaking poo snacks when we weren't looking. She was in my co workers lap in the back seat and vomited up some shit she had eaten. All over him and the back seat. The smell was horrendous. He started gagging, rolled the window down, and puked down the side of our car. Ahh memories.

They sure can be disgusting little animals sometimes.
