For a good portion of our road trip, S and I spent our time narrating the thought bubbles that we wish we could see above our respective dogs heads. My dog, Goose, is six years old and has always been a bit of an old soul sort of dog. He enjoys laying around but defending us fiercely from threats [not limited to clearly threatening helium mylar balloons].
So, when S and I paired him up with her puppy counterpart [Avi is S's dog] and they begrudgingly got along, we knew this trip could happen the way we wanted it to! I say begrudgingly because like I said before, Goose wants to chill. Avi wants to play. They both have to deal with their frustrations with each other. When we departed on our trek, this was the scene in the car.
Avi: "Moooooooooommmmmm. Tell the big black dog back there to get off my seat. I can't sleeeeeeeep." [Insert very audible sigh from both Goose and Avi here]
Goose: [SIGH] I'm just going to lay here. In the most uncomfortable position possible. Please take this annoying white dog away or leave him on the side of the road. Pleeeeasseeee? [SIGH]
Avi [snuggling up to Goose]: Seeeee? We can totally be BFFs! For EVER!
Goose: [SIGH]
Goose: "Mom. There are no words." [Please note the Avi fur on Goose, hahah]
Avi: [sigh]
DAY 2
Avi and Goose: "yaaaaaay! Hiking!!!"
Avi and Goose: "oooh, let's check out what is over here!!"
Goose: "mom, you're embarassing meee"
Goose: "omg! Water. Water. W-A-T-E-R. I don't know if I should drink it or lay in it! Mmm. Lay in it."
[This was all running water. I did my best to not let him drink any of the standing water.]
Goose: "omg.. no. No, no no... not lay in it... drink it. Drink it! D-R-I-N-K--I-T!!!"
Goose: "I am water wasted."
Goose and Avi, about 30 mins into our car ride post-hike on our way to Maine: "zzzzzzzzzzzz"
Last but not least, on our way home yesterday..
Goose: "ok, Avi. We can be BFFs. Just scooch a little closer this way. Mmm yes. BFFs and my pillow."

When did you get Avi? I completely missed that!
I'm glad they are getting along so well!
That last picture is so cute! It was kinda the same situation when we got the puppy. Our older dog likes to chill, the puppy is nuts, but now they are BFFs.
that's hilarious and adorable all at the same time. :)

What gorgeous pups! I love it when our boxers sleep on each other like that. It's just so sweet and melts my heart!
