Interesting post. I found out recently that an old friend is living on a boat and I’ve been wondering what that would be like. Thanks for the insight into the lifestyle and how pets may react to it.

In reply to Jan K. Easier still: change the locks on the existing home without telling your husband. New keys!

In reply to Mike Webster. LOL. When we decided to buy a new home, I said to my hubby: I've been working the same job for over 20 years, living in the same home for almost 23, and married to the same man for over 25. Something had to change. Luckily for him I chose the new home (it seemed easiest).

For the most part we like our routines, but we do like change sometimes. That was part of my motivation to move to a new home. Luke craves new toys….every single day!

I certainly crave change. I think Gretel does too. Now that Chester is an old doggie, he likes routine a lot. He still likes to travel but at home he expects same-ness 🙂

I like routine, to some degree – it helps me get through my mornings – but I need change now and then too. And I definitely need different things to eat from one day to the next. I hate leftovers – my brother and I used to accuse Mom of buying leftovers – and I just refuse to eat them.

We’re not big on routine at all. The dogs get fed at different times (sometimes it may be 6:30am, sometimes 2pm), play at different times, get walked at different times, and Nola goes to a variety of places. We’re too easily bored!

Great post, I’m so with you. I get restless after 2 weeks I wonder if the dogs pick up on our senses? All I know is that the dogs get tired of the same walk after a couple of weeks also. So I guess we are all seekers, seeking new!

That’s so awesome that Honey gets to experience different things and that she enjoys it so much! I try to take my dogs to new places and do different things a few times a month. With dogs who are nervous or fearful it’s best to have a routine so that they are able to predict what happens next. So we go to new places but not as frequently as I would like and they do enjoy it when we go.
