Best Scenic Roads in Canada
We have driven around Canada; a lot. One thing that never ceases to amaze me during every road trip across Canada is how vast this land is and how diverse the terrain when you actually get out on the road and see it from ground level. Everyone knows about the big road trips like the … Continue reading "Best Scenic Roads in Canada"
Read MoreWho Knows Where We’d Go
What do you do when you have a few days of good weather and nothing planned? Well if you’re anything like me, you hit the road; the AdventureDawgs way. So, with a car full of dogs and a trunk full of gear, we headed out on the road with no plan in mind and no … Continue reading "Who Knows Where We’d Go"
Read MoreTravelling with a Senior Dog
It is an unfortunate and inevitable truth: we all get old. Just because they pass into their senior years before we do (and don’t even get discounts in appreciation), that doesn’t mean their Road Trip Warrior days end with a greying muzzle. While travelling with a senior dog does come with some additional considerations, there’s … Continue reading "Travelling with a Senior Dog"
Read MoreKing’s First Road Trip
With a recent transfer at work and the fun task of learning a new job, life has been a bit hectic for me. Never mind adjusting to the recent addition of the 75 lb toddler that is King, Chase’s passing, and Leo’s recent surgery. Then one day it hit me: we haven’t been anywhere since … Continue reading "King’s First Road Trip"
Read MoreChasing Tail
It finally happened: a day with no plans and blue skies with nary a hint of rain. Needless to say, I wasn’t going to let this opportunity pass us by! In short order, the dogs were in the car and we were on the road to Killaloe. Don’t feel bad if you’ve never heard … Continue reading "Chasing Tail"
Read MoreBaby Steps and a Short Trip
It feels as though there hasn’t been much adventuring for these dogs lately. Between a new dog joining the pack with all the issues that brings, Leo’s unexpected surgery, and absolutely horrible weather, we’ve been staying close to home. King continues to adapt well to his new life and we are making great progress … Continue reading "Baby Steps and a Short Trip"
Read MoreFinally Back to Normal
Leo is a tough little guy and there were no complications as he continued to heal. In fact, I think he was in better shape after his surgery. Because I wanted to keep King exhausted to try and keep him from rough-housing with Leo, I took him for lots of walks and even a few … Continue reading "Finally Back to Normal"
Read MoreI Wish We Could Say We’ve Been Travelling
We’ve been uncharacteristically quiet lately. I wish that I could say that we were travelling or hibernating the winter away but unfortunately, that is not the case. After we came back from our trip to Chicago, the priority was to work off King’s energy to a more manageable level. We hiked and played in the … Continue reading "I Wish We Could Say We’ve Been Travelling"
Read MoreDealing a Full House
I have a full house: a pair of cats, a King, a Jack, and Leo is definitely a Joker. I guess I could be the Queen of the pack if need be. The point is that life got tossed upside down when King joined the crew but now things are settling down and I’ve been … Continue reading "Dealing a Full House"
Read MoreThe Newest Member of the Pack (and Introducing a New Dog)
After losing Piper, I was asked several times if I would get another dog. I always said that I wasn’t going to look for one but if a dog happened to need a home, I’d consider it. Then one day towards the end of January, my boss walked into the office, looked at me, and … Continue reading "The Newest Member of the Pack (and Introducing a New Dog)"
