We can’t be sure how Gracie and Abby feel about all this travel, but like to think they’re just content to be with us rather than left behind at a kennel or with a dog sitter. We know we’d miss having them with us and can’t count the number of people who have come up to us saying something like “may I pet your dogs? I had to leave mine at home”.
Still, travel with two large dogs has its challenges. Although we faithfully take them for extended walks every day, they are used to restraint-free romping in Vermont; being leashed every day when there are so many deer, bunnies, people, cats, and other dogs to play with or at least sniff apparently doesn’t seem fair to them. They manage to get their revenge, however: at best, their walker gets a vigorous upper body workout. At worst, they apply the “force = mass x acceleration” law of physics to their collective 150 lbs to drag their walker down hills and through flowerbeds, shrubbery and campsites, earning a helpless "NO!!!!" and disapproving looks from passersby.
Look at these faces - do they look innocent to you?
