Traveling Solo with Two Big Dogs
I’ve gotten so used to smart phone apps I forget the thrill of a tangible map. You know, the kind you …
… dreaming and scheming of all the places to go.
Good, old fashioned paper maps rock!
“We are here. Where else is there?”
It’s hard work for a Newbie-RVer-Wanna-Be with Commitment Issues to choose from a myriad of RV types, floor plans and features.
I want an Ultimate Guide to Choosing a Dog RV. Some kind of interactive app or decision tree. I couldn’t find one, so I muddled together my own.
“RV hunting is complicated … Let’s Duck Hunt instead!”
I’ve wrestled for a while now with what kind of vehicle to drive Zack & Zoe around the Perimeter of the lower 48 states.
“This one has window seats and dog treats. What else is there to know? Let’s Go!”
I just started planning a dog road trip around the perimeter of the lower 48 states (gulp!)
In the 15 years I’ve been pondering the idea of a perimeter trip, I never actually listed all the boundary states. Maybe I doubted I’d ever take the trip. That, and 15 years ago it was just me and my cat, Alex, and I knew she would be in a really really bad mood if I took her on something like this. It’s a lot easier to consider going when travel mates are eager, don’t you think?
April 2015 marked my 1-year anniversary as a blogger (wow time flies.) With this milestone, I decided to take the time to review the year and the purpose of Let’s Go Dog.
It was while pondering why the heck I continue to blog, sitting under patio cover on a rainy day with stinky dogs at my feet, when … BAM! … the clouds parted and I made a big decision. And I’m excited to tell you about it!
“Sometimes you just need a new bone to gnaw.”
But first …
I was in Charleston, South Carolina for 2 weeks without my dogs and had a great time.
Zack and Zoe stayed at a local pet boarding facility and they had a great time, too, playing and napping all day with their fellow boarding dog-camp buddies.
It is possible for the dogs and I to have a fun-filled vacation together?
“Wake up! At the dog-camp we’d be playing by now!”
Claws, drool, dirt and mystery scum. Dogs take a toll on car seats.
My (dog) van needs seat covers.
“This seat’s a little slippery.”
Have you ever wondered where the phrase ‘sick as a dog’ comes from?
What do you do with the dogs when you’re as sick as one?
“I’m not sick. Just Resting.”
Tired, hungry and … lodgeless.
I was far from home, road tripping the Oregon coastal highway with my two dogs. It was 4 o’clock on a gorgeous Saturday afternoon of a 3-day holiday weekend.
And it was Valentine’s Day. Were we going to find a hotel room for the night?

The Let’s Go Dog NW Coastal Road Trip 2015 is now over. And we can’t wait to do it again!
“Let’s Go! This way, that way … doesn’t matter.”
