Road Trip Plus 3 Dogs!!!!

Got up early yesterday morning to get ready for trip to Kentucky, you know I have to have my hair done and makeup on before I go anywhere so I started early to be ready to leave at 8:00 am as hubby wanted to hit the road. I made it dogs and all. Here is a picture of them road ready Doesn't Benji look like he is smiling? Sorry about the reflection.

So we hit the road and this is Hub and Sadie's first road trip , Benji is an old hand at it. It gets better guys as I will tell you later on in this blog.

We headed to a little town in South Eastern Kentucky called Cumberland, with a population of around 600 so it was a small town and it was about 200 miles away from where we live. We stopped and fueled up the diesel, got a breakfast to eat in the car and hit the road.

Before we had gone 40 miles Hub the male Schnauzer was car sick!!! Note to self do not feed Schnauzers before getting into the car!! Have you heard the saying sick as a dog? Well here is a picture of what it looks like to be sick as a dog!!! I felt so sorry for him and it continued most of the day until his little stomach was empty, so we had to make another stop for paper towels, freebreeze and baby wipes. Note to self: Don't forget to pack paper towels, freebreeze and baby wipes!!

When Hub was having his episodes Sadie and Benji would jump up front with me not wanting any part of Hub at that moment!!! LOL

Meanwhile when he would settle down we enjoyed all the scenery on the trip as Kentucky is a beautiful state and their mountains are just as pretty as the ones here in West Virginia. We traveled a road and it was called Country Music Highway and just so pretty and we went over this one large mountain and the view was awsome as I will share some of those pictures with you too. After 4 hours of pit stops and taking care of Hub we arrived at our destination where hubby picked up his prize possession he had bought off ebay. It was some kinda antique piece of electronic equipment to add to his ever growing collection of radio equipment!! He was happy and I'm glad he found it as this will make his collection complete???? Yeah right!

Then we headed back home and by now Hub is getting use to the car and I only gave him water to drink, I know they were hungry as I had packed food for them but I would not feel Sadie and Benji as I did not want to hurt Hub's feelings and not to mention the fact I didn't want to clean up any more throw up!!! LOL Ok one more note to self: When traveling with dogs do not wear pastel colors it shows all the dirt and spills!!! I looked so good when I left and when I got home my pink outfit looked grey!!!! yikes what was I thinking pink?? Next time jeans and a t shirt.

We arrived home around 6:30PM and was so dog tired from riding all day but I must say I needed this trip even with the car sickness, I have not been anywhere this summer and I've been sick for two weeks I just needed to see something else besides my place!!LOL. Hubby just pampered me and he was so understanding with the dogs as he knows I hate to leave them all day and he agreed to let me take them and not once did he complain about Hub and in fact he was the one who stopped and went into the store and got the stuff I needed to keep Hub clean. Thanks John for a wonderful day.

Ok, here are some of the sights I saw in WV & KY yesterday. God Bless all and have a good Day.

	Sheilawrote: Hi Pat glad to hear you had a lovely trip, poor little Hub he looks so fed up. He was indeed in very good hands though, maybe next time he will be ok if this is his first trip in the car. As a kid I suffered with car sick so i know how Hub must have felt. glad to hear you are feeling much better now. Take care Patsy hugs Sheila xx Sept. 22
	Bevwrote: Pat - I sent you a Facebook invite!! I found Kat on FB and sent her one too! Hugs to you, sweet friend! Sept. 19
	Theresawrote: Thanks for taking us along. I feel so sorry for poor Hub. I was once on a car trip with a sick dog. I was one of the kids in the backseat with the dog and needless to say, I didn't have a blanket to snuggle with for the rest of the overnight trip. : ( Sept. 15
	Ramblingwrote: I still think that poor thing looks just as sick as he was in that picture. Is there anything they can take to help with the travel sickness, Patsy? Sept. 15
	Bevwrote: Hey Pat!! I have been by but hadn't left a comment as I have been on the run. The end is in sight on the kitchen!! We are really making good progress. I would love to be able to meet you camping one of these days!! It would be a shame if two people like us who love camping so much couldn't meet. I am not going to be going on with my blog for a while. I do have a facebook page. If you will send me a message with an e-addy I will tell you how to find me. I will be coming by and visiting. There's just nothing much going on right now to write about. I love you to pieces and always love coming by and seeing your pictures and what's up with you. I may have to do a different blog site as I have just had it with MSN. Hugs to you dear friend!! Sept. 14

	JENNALACEY TYLERwrote: HI PATSY, GOOD BLOG SADIE SURE LOOKS SICK TO HER TUMMY POOR BABY.

	Toodiewrote: Your hubby is ah keeper! Such happy pups in the first picture then...who knew Hub would git car sick eh? That picture is worth ah thousand words! He looked ah bit green. Good to jot down reminders. You think Hub will git over car sickness? Hope so. Nice pictures. I thought the mountains were bigger for some reason. I spose the east side has older mountains and after ah period of time they loose their humps eh? Did that make sense? Beautiful scenery and glad you did get out. Hope your feeling better and better. Sept. 10
	Stephen Craig Rowewrote: Dear Patsy, Day trips are a good quick get away and refreshing change of view. Glad you are feeling better. As ever be well Sept. 10
	Suewrote: I know how it is to deal with a carsick dog---just be sure to NOT feed them when they have to travel---a little water won't hurt. If you give Hub half of a motion-sick pill (Dramamine) and he will sleep rather than get sick. Our Nikki used to get sick every time we took her in the car---she has finally gotten over it, but I still don't feed her anything if she is going to travel and make sure there is plenty of ventilation in the back of the car for her. The pics are great and the countryside looks wonderful. My Mom is in Louisville and seems to like it, except for all the rain which makes her allergies worst Sept. 10
	Annwrote: Wonderful photos of this great country of hours - and of course of your precious furry friends. Thanks for sharing. Sept. 10
	Ramblingwrote: Poor Hub looked so sad and unhappy. His little mouth even looked turned down. I had no idea animals could get car suck but it makes perfect sense. Your blog, though I felt terrible for Hub (and you with all you had to keep up with due to him being sick) made me smile all the way through, you wrote it so well. Very enjoyable trip I can see and loved those notes to self!!! :-) HUGS Sept. 10
	Bethwrote: Good Morning Pat. That was quite a trip you had. Sorry poor little Hub got sick. He looks so sad in the picture. I love Kentucky. I have always thought it was the most beautiful state in the US. The scenery is just gorgeous. But then you know, when we get home we always think there is no place like home. Love, Beth Sept. 10
