Did you know dogs get car sick, the way people get car sick?<\/p>\n

A member of my family has a large dog that gets sick while riding any distance in a motor vehicle. So my family member and his wife cannot travel far in their car with their pooch.<\/p>\n

I am happy to report that Toby the Dog should be renamed Toby the Road Warrior.<\/p>\n

We’ve just returned from a weeklong motor vehicle trip to Arizona, where we spent several fun- and\u00a0 laugh-filled days with my sister, brother-in-law and my aunt and uncle.<\/p>\n

And yes, Toby the Road Warrior was a\u00a0big part of our fun-filled week on the road.<\/p>\n

He’s not quite a year old. He’s been on the road with us on trips to the Dallas-Fort Worth area and to Oklahoma City. This trip to Phoenix-Mesa was a test of Toby’s stamina. He passed with an A-plus grade.<\/p>\n

How did he do it? Well, he slept most of the way.<\/p>\n

Toby also managed to, shall we say, hold it<\/em> while we were traveling in our pickup. We’d go a few hours between stops. Then we’d get out, stretch our legs and then Toby the Road Warrior would, um, take care of his\u00a0business.<\/p>\n

He’d finish and he’d ready for the next non-stop segment of our cross-country adventure.<\/p>\n

Toby the Road Warrior made us proud.<\/p>\n\n
