Back into Canada
August 24, 2015 When I woke up I was actually a little sore from my pseudo gym session. A quick walk with the dogs and to the lobby for my breakfast. No waffle machines here. Oh no. Only the finest in toaster waffles. And not a piece of fruit to be seen. Seriously no apples … Continue reading "Back into Canada"

August 23, 2015 Where were we? When last we saw our intrepid…quad-uo? Double duo? The pack? They were in a nameless rest stop in Montana. And now the story continues…. After a few hours I headed back out into the darkness. And with the sky lightening behind us and the car warming up, another rest … Continue reading "Montana"

August 22, 2015 The dogs handled sleeping in the tent surprisingly well. Jack was happily reunited with his blankie girlfriend even though he had figured out how to squeeze himself into the gap between the front and back seats in the car where I kept the blankets. Leo kept trying to climb onto my inflatable … Continue reading "South Dakota"

August 21, 2015 I had a bit of a dilemma this morning when I woke up. I have an uncle and his family in Nebraska that I haven’t seen in forever and I had planned to head down that way. I had called them when I had an idea of when I’d be passing through … Continue reading "Minnesota"

Last year … Continue reading "An Adventure…without Dawgs"

I had heard of a “barkery” just over an hour away in Hamilton. A place where one … Continue reading "An Unintended Trip to Niagara Falls"
Read MoreThen Along Came Leo
No doubt, dear reader, you will have noticed that my previous road trip in April 2015 featured a boxer named Piper and a Boston Terrier-Pug cross named Jack. But what of Leo, the Boston Terrier in the profile picture? Well Leo came into my life in a rather unexpected way. July 1, 2015 – Canada Day … Continue reading "Then Along Came Leo"
Read MoreThe Trip That Started it All
Up until recently, travel had always been about a destination. You go somewhere, spend time there, and go home. A flight or a drive are just a means to an end. I would have every teeny tiny detail planned from the roads I would take to the places I would stay, even places to eat. … Continue reading "The Trip That Started it All"
