Torrey is a very discriminating pup. Honey won’t look out a car window unless it’s open. And then, only until the speed isn’t high enough to mess up her fur. π
If my puppy sees water, then she definitely notices the view. She loves swimming and wants to go in! Occasionally she watches the tv, too, and loves staring out the back sliding glass door.
Over the summer we took a road trip to South Dakota. I kept wondering if Ruby noticed the landscape, which is so different from where we live in the flat midwest. She didn’t seem terribly impressed though she certainly enjoyed the smell of wildlife.
I find that Honey responds to smells more in cool weather with a strong breeze. I wonder if the different atmosphere of South Dakota made the smells different for Ruby?
Getting my dog Soldier’s attention requires food of some sort or the promise of a belly rub. Otherwise, he’s snoozin.’ The one exception is when he spots our ‘pet’ squirrel on the front porch. Drives him crazy to see that little guy eating the peanuts we put out! It looks like Honey was day dreaming while you sailed along!
Love that sweet face! She reminds me somewhat of my angel Callie when she would sit next to the bed, resting her chin on the blanket, and waiting for me to wake up. I wish I’d had a camera handy for those loving looks.
I’m guessing that Honey loved all the scents! Even if we climb the biggest mountain around, it seems like our dogs are focused on the smells wafting to them instead of in the views. I bet that the smells on the Chesapeake were wonderful!
Well, some things – like views – may not get their attention, but cookies almost always do!!
It does look like a beautiful view, but maybe Honey was hoping for some ducks or geese swimming along?

I think they notice some. Torrey likes to look out the window while we drive.

I’m sure Honey appreciated the different smells along the way.
Pamela
It must not have been too smelly because she didn’t seem too interested. Now once we start seeing dolphins again…
Emma
I bet the view was nothing special for her, but she may have enjoyed the new smells as you sailed along.
Pamela
Her favorite smell is usually dolphin. But we’re not expecting to see them again until we get to Beaufort, NC.
Jan
They are creatures of the nose not the eyes.
Pamela
True. But she didn’t even seem too interested in the smells. Maybe once we get closer to the ocean…

Pamela
We feel lucky Honey doesn’t enjoy swimming. The last thing we need is her jumping off the boat. π

Food always gets our dogs attention! Looks like Honey is enjoying the ride.
Pamela
Yep, Honey too. Her favorite part of the trip is lunch. π

Tenacious Little Terrier
Mr. N loves peering down at water. We have suspicions that he just likes looking at his reflection.
Pamela
Ha ha! Well, Mr N is a handsome fella.
Honey looks down at water too. I wonder if dogs can see motion under the surface better than we can.
Meagan & Merlin
To be Food, tv, 2-legged, 4-legged & an inanimate object.
Pamela
Merlin certainly has his priorities straight. π
Dachshund Nola
That view is beautiful!
Pamela
Yep, we see many beautiful things on the water. The hard part is being ready with the camera when they happen. π
Barbara Murray
Dylan loves new smells. When he’s somewhere new, that nose stays BUSY.
Pamela
Guess I’m glad that Honey doesn’t have as good a nose as Dylan. We’re in new places most days and she wouldn’t pay any attention to us. π

I bet the view was nothing special for her, but she may have enjoyed the new smells as you sailed along.
Pamela
The smells are much better when we’re actually motoring. In a tight canal where we have to motor, the strongest smell is diesel. π

Maybe Soldier is just upset that the squirrel is getting peanuts when he isn’t? π
Monika & Sam?
Sam thinks she’s got the right priorities going on!
Pamela
Well, dozing is one of the most fun things ever!

Pamela
Someday we’ll go to bed wearing cameras and we’ll never miss those lovely moments. π

Honey especially likes the smell of dolphins.
