Hounds on the Highway

                              ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SPECIAL POSTING FROM MARK: This season, I’m especially grateful for one incredible girl: Lindy! She’s truly something special, and I can’t help but gush about her.   When her foster parents go out of town, Lindy and I get to share some quality time during transports. She hasn’t had much interest from potential adopters yet, but I’m hoping this story inspires one of our readers to fall in love with her—and maybe even bring her home. If her story warms your heart, perhaps it’s time to consider Lindy (or another furry friend) as your newest family member!   Let me share what makes her so wonderful.   --- The Road Trip Begins When I arrive for a pick-up, I send a quick, “I’m here” text and head to the passenger side door. Lindy greets me with excitement, wagging and bouncing, and after a happy h...

  So, today's post is going to be all about me! My hoomans took me and Dobby (my surrogate brother from another mother) out on a road trip these last few days. Now, I used to hate the car and when I say hate I mean DESPISE the vehicle. It always felt like I was being taken somewhere to be dropped off and gotten rid of again (trauma from my past resurfacing) but my hoomans have made the car a fun place to be. I do not mind going in the car now. I used to be so anxious that I would throw up within about 1 minute into any car ride, no matter where we were headed.   Now, I told them that I didn't like the car maybe not in so many words, but I told them in actions. I would struggle with them to get in the car, I would try and get out of the car once I was in it, and I would throw up every time I was in it. Well, I have trained them well to be good hoomans after all because they listened. They would take me into the car for small trips around the block with Dobby to get me used to i...
