Road trippin' with The Beast

Total distance from Seattle to Valparaiso: 2232 miles
Total time: four days

The Beast did great on the trip- between roadside stops (with some stretching, Chuckit-ing, and treats), she slept or sat looking out the window quietly from her nest in the back. For a little while, though, she stayed in the back seat with me. After some mutual pushing and shoving, this was the end arrangement:



Until Iowa there was varying amounts of snow at the stops. I forgot how much she loves playing in it. The last break had a pile from the parking lot plowing. After chasing the ball in relatively warm weather, she ran towards the mound, splayed out on top, and started eating it (yum- antifreeze and winter grime!). Funny beast, this dog o' mine...


Overall no complaints, though. She's a good traveler.
