Over the years I've posted photographs on this blog of a traveling dachshund, corgi, collie, cockatoo and cat in nineteen states and a province. There are photos of our pet friendly travels to First Beach, Long Beach, Lake Tahoe, Lake Erie, Arches National Park and Grand Canyon National Park, to name just a few. Every week we usually take a local trip to a new Seattle neighborhood or somewhere beautiful in Cascadia. Obviously a photo with a travel theme isn't exactly a challenge for the Cascadian Nomads adventurous dogs, cat and parrot. However, pet friendly wanderlust isn't all about waking up in one of the most gorgeous state parks in Wyoming or hiking the Niagara River gorge. It takes planning to make sure the dogs, cat, bird and humans all have a safe and memorable trip. Before a weekend road trip or a three week excursion with the pets, I spend countless hours at the computer checking pet friendly destinations, making camping reservations, printing maps, ordering travel essentials, etc. Admittedly, I thrive on the thrill of getting ready for traveling but I am not sure the pets would agree. I think an appropriate travel themed photo is of how I spend most of my time planning any upcoming journeys. So as not to disappoint, I have also posted a photo from our most recent adventure. Hopefully it is obvious by my smile that as long as I am surrounded by pets and fulfilling my wanderlust, I couldn't be happier. Travel is all about happy, excitingly glamorous or not.

A Corgi Explains Why Not To Blame The Dog {52 Snapshots of Life Week 10}3/6/2015 Typist: Brychwyn There is no denying that we dogs get into a lot of mischief. Sometimes, though, mischievous things go on around the house that aren't the fault of a dachshund, a collie or a corgi. One excellent example of mischief mistakenly blamed on innocent dogs occurred this week with a toy that Bethany got for us on a recent road trip. That toy has spent the whole week making mischief everywhere! I kept finding that toy in all kind of places that toys are not allowed. Was I rewarded or praised for pointing our the wrong doings of the toy? Of course not! Wilhelm, Huxley and I had decided that we had enough of that mischievous toy breaking all the rules so we worked tirelessly to put an end to it's trouble making tyranny. For some reason, Bethany and Jason were not proud of us for disemboweling and dismembering that disobedient toy. I just wished they would understand about all the mischief that toy had been up to! I think the humans finally saw the misbehaving toy for the bother it really was when it turned up outside yesterday afternoon. Wilhelm, Huxley and I all know furry toys are not allowed outside but that mischievous toy would just not obey the rules. If Bethany ever buys us another toy, I certainly hope she will make sure it is one that won't make so much mischief. Toys are not allowed outside. Do you know any dogs who get blamed for mischief that isn't their fault? Share this post: |
