Kiki’s Big Adventure: On the Perils of Senior Pet Travel
You’ll be pleased to hear Squirty McShitsalot—as Rosie is now known—is doing much better. As I type, she’s lying beside me deep in slumber.
UPDATE: In the time since I wrote this post and when I could find an Internet connection that would allow me to actually post it, little black dog has taken a turn for the squirty. We’ve called it a day early, in beautiful Pocatello, Idaho … in the western foothills of the Rockies. Not to worry, Rose seems fine other than being affected more, uh, dramatically than I anticipated by the long days in the car. I’m thinking a longer break from driving might help her get back to normal. Fingers crossed.

First: gross! Second: I think my friends give their dog a small amount of Dramamine (Dimenhydrinate) when they travel in the car. Ask first if this is ok for dogs….

@rob that’s good info! i’d thought about giving her a little benedryl to help her sleep, but dramamine would make more sense. i’m a little worried, though, that one of the possible side effects is diarrhea. :-)
@em em nice pun-age. the best is when they fart in their sleep … or the sneeze-fart.
Name's Kirsten. I'm a splitter of hairs, a hillbilly, a rock horns devotee, an ellipses-lovin' fool, and queen of the conceptual jinx. I'm also a geek and the grateful human of littleblackdog. I do this and that and some of the other … up to and including writing this here blog.
