Bentley and Pierre are glad to be home after spending the past nine days at the Bed & Biscuit Pet Resort. It is a great place where they share a private room. They never mind going but this was the longest we have been separated. We were all happy to be together again.

| This was Skipper's view for 2,700 miles and 7 states. He followed the U-Haul and my daughter-in-law's car where I was riding. |
You are probably wondering where in the world we went and why the boys couldn’t go with us. (At least, that is what they are wondering!) Our son and his family including Paisley the BFTB NETWoof Weather Lab relocated from Washington State to Texas. You might remember the guest post, “The Long Winding Road or How to Move across the Country with Your Dog” that he wrote last year. His work brought him back down south so we went to help them with their move. He drove the U-Haul, my daughter-in-law drove her car (I had the BEST assignment since I got to sit in the back seat to take care of my precious grandbaby) and my husband drove their other car.
The trip took five days of driving to reach our destination. It was fun and tiring. I will share more about our adventure with more photos next week.
The 4th of July can be a stressful time for dogs. Keep tabs on your best friend and save on the Whistle 3.
Wordless Wednesday.
wow that looked like a furst class howltel ;o) all the best for your sons furmily in Texas ;O)
ReplyDeleteThank you! They have a lovely home with plenty of room to roam.
DeleteThey were living the life while you did the hard work of moving. I don't know if I could make 9 days without my dog. Bet you all were happy to see each other.
ReplyDeleteWe were so happy to see each other! They have stuck to us like glue since returning home.
DeleteThat is a LOT of driving!! Especially if you are doing it in one straight shot. Glad everyone is back home safe and sound!
ReplyDeleteThey drove 10-12 hours each day with stops for breaks thrown in. I was glad to be a passenger.
DeleteRest up, boys. Your parents owe you big time, so there will be lots of treats and cuddles coming your way. That said, the adventure sounds like a LOT of fun and. a LOT of excitement. 2 doggies along would have been just too much. Best of luck to the young family in their new home.
ReplyDeleteLove and licks,
Cupcake
Thank you! Paisley the Weather Lab rode in the U-Haul with her Daddy. I think she slept most of the ride. Bentley and Pierre would not have enjoyed themselves at all.
DeleteWe've moved cross-country before, but didn't have the added fun of a baby (plus 2 cars) to move with us. What an adventure! (We sold our junkie car at one end, then drove the UHaul to our new home... and boy, didn't the car salesmen know they had a live one when we drove into the lot in that thing?!)
ReplyDeleteLooks like the boys are beat! We soon will be leaving Rita behind for a trip and I still haven't figured out what we're going to do with her. (Have back up plans but hoping for something better...) Stressful to be away from the furkids!
I am sure the car salesman was ecstatic to see you! It is hard to leave them behind but they would have been miserable. Plus, we flew up there and they can't fly. LOL!
DeleteWow, I guess they are moving people now. I'm sure you are happy they are now closer!
ReplyDeleteI think they are settled down now in their beautiful new home. It is great to have them closer. ♥
DeleteA good time was had by all. *wink*
ReplyDeleteIt was fun but very tiring. Especially for those driving and moving the heavy furniture!
DeleteWow! What a big trip! When my Jessy moved from NY to Florida, she had all her stuff shipped in a big box on a truck. Then her Dan flew up, and they both took turns driving her car to Florida. It's tough to move across the country!
ReplyDeleteIt is a massive undertaking!
Delete5 days! That's a long time! You guys must have done sone sightseeing?
ReplyDeleteWe had to pull over to enjoy some of the overlooks but mostly stayed on the road. America is BEAUTIFUL!
DeleteYou guys were busy! We say it's relax time
ReplyDeleteLily & Edward
We have all been snoozing today!
DeleteIt's always nice to go on an adventure but the best part is coming home♥
ReplyDeleteThere is no place like home with our boys ♥
DeleteWhoa.........Pierre and Bentley thank goodness you had such wonderful accommodations during the time the peeps were on a very long road trip.
ReplyDeleteI know your peeps will be glad to have the wee baby closer to them now.
Hugs madi your bfff
I am so happy to have our sweet grandbaby close! She is a true joy ♥
DeleteBet you're glad that trip is completed!
ReplyDeleteYour Pals,
Murphy & Stanley
We are so thankful the trip is over and we all arrived safely. There were some scary roads to watch our son drive that humongous U-Haul!
DeleteLooks like it might take Bentley and Pierre nine days to sleep off all that fun they had at the resort!
ReplyDeleteThey are sooooo tired from barking with their new friends! LOL!
Deleteit looks like Bentley and Pierre did awfully well though, so happy they could be together. Grandbaby photos please!!
ReplyDeleteThey love each other! I will post some grandbaby pics next week when I tell more about the trip. ♥
DeleteMom left Taffy and the cat for 8 days and had a house/pet sitter, or at least she thought she did. Not good so hopefully she won't have to do it again. Mom wants to know if this is the same son that is actually Pierre's dad? Love Dolly
ReplyDeletePierre is my daughter's dog but she agreed to let us keep him since he and Bentley are best buds. My son is Paisley, our BFTB NETWoof Weather Lab's dad. LOL!
DeleteYou DID get the best job! We think Bentley and Pierre had a good holiday....much better than riding in a car for so long, though they probably don't think so. Glad everyone is home again...together.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much!
DeleteWow a lot of miles - but you did get the best job!
ReplyDeletehugs
Hazel & Mabel
I really did. I can also sing most of the Bubble Guppies's favorite songs! LOL!
DeleteWow, you all are becoming experts in cross country moving! Glad all went well.
ReplyDeleteIt was great to see the country but once is enough for me and I know twice is more than enough for everyone else! LOL!
DeleteWe're so glad you had a safe trip, and imagine everyone is very happy to be back home and together again! ♥
ReplyDeleteJan & the crew at Wag n Woof Pets
Thanks! We missed our boys terribly ☺
DeleteGlad you and your pups are reunited. And even more glad the gandbaby is that much closer to you.❤︎
ReplyDeleteWe are so happy to have them close enough to see whenever we want to visit. ♥
DeleteHahah! That is them sacked out on our couch but the pet resort is very nice for them.
ReplyDeleteThat is a long time to be apart. Glad you got to spend time with your grandbaby.
ReplyDeleteIt was a long separation but we have been giving lots of love and kisses since we returned. It was wonderful being with the grandbaby ♥
DeleteFive days! I could not have handled that, even if I wasn't the driver. I also couldn't handle going from mild Washington to hot Texas! But, at least they are nearer to you now. :)
ReplyDeleteI was a long trip but beautiful country. It has actually been breaking heat records where they lived and without air conditioning, the city was opening cooling centers for people! LOL!
DeleteSo glad everyone is home safe and sound! Although it must have been tiring, I can attest that seeing America from the road is an awesome experience!
ReplyDeleteGlad your adventure was a blast. Get plenty of rest and have a super happy Doodle holiday next week,
ReplyDeleteThey moved to Texax!? OMG, you must be over the moon! That is so much closer than Washington, I'm so happy for you & Skipper!!! I'll be the boys were happy to be home, 9 days is a long time to be separated from our fur kids.
ReplyDeleteLove & Biscuits,
Dogs Luv Us and We Luv Them
Holy MEOW, that's a long road trip!!!!
