I live with a glass half full attitude but when things go wrong on a road trip... Wait. When a lot of things go wrong on a road trip, I admit that is hard to stay positive. That is where the pets come in. They don't know that seemingly everything had gone wrong on our last road trip from the moment I set up the tent at the campsite to the second I finished loading the car to go home. Wilhelm, Brychwyn, Huxley, Amelia and Leo are three dogs, a cat and a cockatoo who live in the moment. They savor their travels. And even when I spend an entire trip constantly in crisis mode, dealing with one travel disaster after another, they have each other. Okay. The trip wasn't that bad. I did have time snap a few photos of my snuggly traveling pets. When putting as many miles in as we do, things are bound to go wrong at some point. With my usual positive attitude, I am grateful we all stayed safe and snug the entire trip. And no matter what, we all had each other for encouraging perspective, comfort and, of course, snuggles.

I'm always so impressed by your travel stories! I know that dogs (usually) don't mind travelling, but cats do. Don't really know about the cockatoo, I admit.

I think all pets, actually all living things- people too!- are the same about traveling, some like it, some don't. It may be easier to condition a dog to accept traveling but not everyone has wanderlust gene! I get asked all the time if Leo, the cockatoo, will be joining me on an upcoming adventure and my answer is always that I don't know because it is so dependent on his mood. I would never make him, or any of the pets, go if he didn't want to!

I am not sure they were oblivious. They definitely sensed something was wrong. But they sunggled me, forced me to buck up and make a solution happen!

That is exactly why pets are the best travel buddies!
