Besides drive-thu's, the Snap-On tool guy in my old neighborhood used to keep treats in the tool truck. Then a couple of the UPS drivers started carrying biscuits. Lucy got the idea that all step-vans had dog treats as standard equiptment. We were doing an off leash lap 'round the 'hood one day, she was about 20 feet in front and there was a delivery truck with the door open and the driver sorting packages in the back. Lucy hopped up and was right behind the guy when he turned around, scared the beejeezus out of him. I explained very quickly, he had a sense of humor, but no treats........ ..

Such lucky dogs!

Back when we had a fullsized van, Blizzard could go anywhere with us and she did! She loved it. We even had room to place another Pyr in there, along with the six kids. Her favorit was a sunday afternoons. We'd all pile in after mass, go back home and pick her up, then head out across the river, drive the riveroad and end up in a small town. They had this great homemade icecream shop! I'd sit out on the porch with her while the kids and my husband went in to order..they'd always bring back two schoops of vanilla for her.

Saddly, we downgraded to a mini-van (stupid oil prices.) and poor Blizzard can only go on walks, trips to the vet...and sometimes to Petsmart if I only take two kids with me,max. Otherwise, there's just no room for her. The kids all get squished in the back seat.

It's actually  making her more depressed,poor baby.

The other day my youngest child asked if we could move to "Birdwell Island"...lol..home of Cliffard the Big Red Dog.

When Dad and I hiked up to Kennecott, we took Sherwen. Dad didn't want to hike all the way down, so we decided to take the bus back to McCarthy. I didn't know if they'd let dogs on, but they said that Sher would be allowed if we bought him a ticket (which was only $1 because he was under 10, lol).

I'll have to try the local Home Depot, and Barnes and Noble, don't know what their policy is, guess I'll find out. Don't want anyone coming off negative to Tulsa, she can get negative too. As long as I can save her she'll do alright.

For what it is worth, Scott recently took Gwen to our local Home Depot without anyone saying anything about it....

I manage a movie theater and will sometimes bring the kids (two akitas) with me during the day to watch a movie by ourselves. They get to run around the auditorium when the mood strikes them, but mostly they just watch the movie with me.
