Travel Hiatus

Hi all, We lent out our trailer so Cassie isn't camping right now. She will be helping us build a new camper and we hope to have pictures soon.

Traveling Rte. 66 in Cuba

While traveling Route 66 through Cuba, Missouri, I had a couple of times to stretch my legs. One was this little park in the middle of the downtown area of Cuba. Mom & Dad got all excited by the many pictures, murals they call 'em, on the walls of various buildings in Cuba. They found most of them but know they didn't find them all. It was fun watching Mom & Dad jump out of the car like rabbits. I was thankful to stay in the car with the ac, did I mention I like my creature comforts?

We had a great time on this trip. Tomorrow I'll share a picture of the place I snuck out of the car but Mom caught me and told me to get back inside.

My Puppy thoughts about Camping

Personally, I love it! Here are some of the reasons why:
I get to spend time with Mom & Dad almost all day.
What I mean by "almost" is there are rules that prevent me from going into grocery stores.
I suppose I get it because I'm a pretty good size and I might knock someone over.
Still, I'd like to go in there. I've heard there are rows of meat and all you have to do is take it.
I know I could do that. Mom and Dad don't let me take the food out of the grocery bags. I have to wait until they give me treats. Of course, they love to give me all kinds of treats.
For example, on our Route 66 trip I got to eat lots of doggie treats and some of mom and dad's leftovers that they didn't want to put in the fridge.
One night my human sister Sarah, who I call Aunty Sarah, and her family joined us while we were traveling Route 66. That night we had brats...yum, yum. I love brats. Aunty Sarah calls them Brauts, Mom calls them Brats just to tease her. I personally don't care what you call them, I just love them. I can eat one brat in thirty seconds. Mom chops it up and makes me eat it slower, sigh. But I still get to eat it.
That brings me to the topic of food on the road. I just learned about this new dish. "Ray Allen 64 oz Buddy Bowl. I've put this on my Christmas list. I'm hoping Santa remembers.
Mom likes these collapsible ones because they take up less room in the RV. And space in an RV is very important.
Mogoko Food-Grade Silicone Collapsible Dog Bowls
She also likes these:
Comsun 2 pack Collapsible Dog Bowl
They're pretty cheap and can get you started in your RV life in no time.
Back to camping.
There really is only one good reason for my loving camping and that is to be with Mom & Dad. I realize I can't go into every building with them but they make sure I'm comfortable when they're away from me. My best advice about bringing your dog camping is to do it. We can walk most trails even though we have to be on a leash, but it's worth it.

P.S. I am an Amazon Associate

Here I am getting ready to travel

Our trailer is a Viking 15RB. That means it is only 15 feet and Mom and Dad have a bed that pulls down off the back after we arrive. I sleep on my own bed in the front of the trailer. I have a double bed all to myself, unless it starts to thunder and lightening, then I jump up and join Mom & Dad. Personally, I don't like thunder and lightening. Here's a picture of me inside the trailer while were getting it ready to leave. Note Mom & Dad's mattress is to my left. I am sitting on my bed. During the day Mom and Dad set it up as a table. I often sit on Mom's side while they play cards.

Cassie's Route 66 Travels

Cassie went on her first big adventure this past month and she thought there were other pets out there who might like to learn from her experience. First, let me tell you a little about who I am. My full name is Cassandra Coleman. I was adopted for the second time in November 2016. My first adopted parents didn't understand me and sent me to a center where my new parents found and rescued me. I am a mixed breed and my primary heritage is whippet. For those of you who don't know what a whippet is, here is a link that will give you some additional information. Whippet Dog Breed Information As I said I'm not pure and have a little lab in me as well. We (my owners and I) decided we didn't need to do an ancestry search of my DNA. They love me for who I am. Here's a recent pic of me.

As you can see, we were at the IL. side of the "Old Chain of Rocks Bridge" that crossed the Mississippi to Missouri. I was happy to get out and stretch my legs. We live in Florida and, let me tell you, that back seat gets old after a while. Granted, I slept through a lot of the travel while Mom and Dad drove the car. I'm only two, and Mom says I can't drive…something to do with thumbs. I don't know, I don't get it, but that's okay. Mom and Dad know how to drive. We slept in our travel trailer at various places along old Route 66. I'll share more tomorrow. Thanks for stopping by and I hope to see you on the road. Mom and Dad are planning more trips in the future.
