This is a big switch form previous subjects. But its just as important to me. Skittles is a very special dog. So smart....So sweet....So caring...and So "all knowing". And at the same time very dependent on us for his well being... physical and mental. Everyone who has a dog feels the same way, I'm sure.
When we go for short trips to town we always leave Skittles behind. He stays in the utility room with his water dish and sleeping pillow. We leave the utility door open to the rest of the house and put the iron fireplace screen in front of the door to keep him in and still let light in. He's fine with that as long as all these things are in place.
A few times, in our haste to leave, we have forgotten to put his sleeping pillow in the room with him. Well, when we came home we have found the screen gone from the door with a sleepy (what did you expect me to do) look on his face. One time he somehow pulled a hallway carpet runner under the screen and was laying comfortably on it when we came home.
When we travel with him his place is the backseat of the car. We have a seat belt for him, specially designed for dogs. He is not happy unless he is safely within his seat belt. If you don't have a safety belt for your dog you should look into it. A quick stop could result in major injury or worse for your dog.
I don't need to ramble on and on so I will stop now. Our dog gives us so much it boggles my mind when I stop to think about it. But we all should stop and think about it every now and then, and then go love on our dog. That's what I'm doing as soon as I post this note.
