Comments on: 6 Ways Living With a Dog Is Like Traveling to a Foreign Country https://www.somethingwagging.com/6-ways-living-with-a-dog-is-like-traveling-to-a-foreign-country/ Helping Your Dog Love The Boat As Much As You Do Fri, 23 Aug 2019 16:35:10 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Kolchak, Felix & Jodi https://www.somethingwagging.com/6-ways-living-with-a-dog-is-like-traveling-to-a-foreign-country/#comment-90502 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 03:55:06 +0000 https://www.somethingwagging.com/?p=10708#comment-90502 I used to be filled with such Wanderlust, but these days, even a 5 day trip to Vegas is too long and too far. I ache to travel to Italy before all my favourite landmarks crumble and I’ll just have to work up the courage to tear myself away from my favourite foreigners: Koly & Fe.

PS – Speaking of strange customs, can you tell me why Kolchak likes to pee on Felix’s head and why Felix LETS HIM? You’d think after 6 years, he’d learn to move the woof out of the way, which leads me to believe that he either LIKES it or it’s some weird custom I will never understand.

I had time for two today, and they were both good ones. 🙂

The longest I traveled was ten days, and while I was homesick and missed the four-leggers, I did have an awesome time – and was home before I knew it.

May your vacation be fun, fast, and unforgettable!

P.S. This little tidbit I did not know, and it really made me crack up: “Honey likes to hump her stuffed lamb before bed.”

Perhaps in the future I’ll get my pet passport sorted out so we can head to France. But for now, like you, being at home with humans is often like being abroad BOL

What a nice plug, um, endorsement of the book! As for who had the idea first, you know what they say: there’s nothing new under the sun. When I decided to write a dog book, I would get paralyzed by the idea that I couldn’t possibly compete with all those other dog book authors, who actually knew what they were talking about. And then I just slapped myself upside my head plugged ahead, trying to live up to the dictum of Alexander Pope (yes, reading authors like Pope is a whole other phase in my life) to write “what oft was thought but ne’er so well expressed.”

The sleeping situations can be similar too – I often don’t sleep well in a new, strange place, and I often don’t sleep well if the dog’s in the bed! Off to check out the book trailer.

I could list a bunch, but yes, it is like visiting a foreign country and trying hard to learn the language…That video for the book is priceless so thanks for sharing that

Four shots huh? Maybe I need to re-think Ireland. I’m quite content in dog land.

We have travelled a lot but not anymore with Pip being so old. We don’t mind. LOL another good roll Honey. We will have to start up the Rock and Rolling Club. LOL. Have a fabulous Friday.
Best wishes Molly

Great post. My Human laughed out loud.

She used to travel to Europe on business. Later she and my Human Papa lived in Canada for several years.

She’s spent her life with dogs and horses and the occasional cat. She never looked at life at home in the southeast U.S. quite this way. I’m sure she’s move appreciative of me now.

Y’all come by now,
Hawk aka BrownDog
