Over the past few years Tom and I love to go on road trips often just day road trips but we do this I think to escape having to deal with our struggles some times mostly it is to just get through the stuff that married people need to talk out and get through especailly when dealing with infertility. But lately we have been taking our 2 year old Golden retriever with us on our trips.
At the local Tim Hortons in Park Hill Ontario they know us now that we go us to the drive through and they hand us a Timbit just for "buddy", they don't ask anymore they just give it to us, and he knows its coming he will stick his head out the window and take it right out of their hands...spoiled...I think so!
Yesterday we were driving near Exeter Ontario and we went for some icecream, and we were at Dairy queen, and the drive through people saw buddy and asked if we wanted a dog Bone...or at least that I what I thought they said...but no, they said doggy CONE...huh?
Well sure enough an icecream cone comes through the window for the dog....Needless to say....I know now that he loves icecream! and the cone for that matter.
Our dog has become our baby, he goes camping with us, out for drives with us, he went to Calgary with me when I was there for nearly 2 months. He loves to go in our boat, hates water... He sleeps in our room...ok some may say that gross, he sleeps in his own bed on the floor.
We have also discovered that he thinks he is a cat! When we got him we have a cat and him and the cat get along just great, but buddy has taken to sitting in the window sill, and standing on the arm rests of the chairs in the living room. It is really entertaining!
He is truly spoiled!! But Hey better to spoil a dog than a baby right?
AT least he does not have to be dressed...only in Alberta where it gets to -40. Then he was wearing booties!!
I Love my Buddy!
