much a dog about nothing

        During the thanks giving/fall/autumn vacation break, my family (my mother, father and Christian) and jack went on a trip to Wyoming to see our extended family (aunts, uncles, cousins and all the weird people that we love). We stayed there for two days, then we went to Idaho to see our more immediate family (Rachel and husband) we stayed there for the remaining vacation time then we went home. You may have said to yourself "that sounds like a lot of driving". You would not be wrong, it was roughly 1730 miles total, this would have been fine, but we were with Jack
     Usually Jack rides in a car every one to two weeks, the trip is almost always to the dog park. In this trip jacks whining gets louder as we get closer to the park, when we are at the park jacks’ whining evolves to him running around and jumping in the car. The Davis family has many stories of Jack at the park, and half of the stories are from the car ride over. Stories like the time Jack jumped out of the window, the time Christian forgot the way to the park, the mailman incident, and countable more instances. So my point being, Jack does not travel well.
     At the start of the drive, the dog was sitting next to me (he was in the rear left spot) he on a very short leash tied to the rear of the car (I took pictures of this but lost my phone). His whining went as usual, until he realized we were not going to the dog park. In short let’s just say that his whining was almost unbearable. Jacks leash was just long enough for him to reach the driver’s seat (my dad’s seat). Although his leash only went to the chair, the giraffe neck and dog tongue was able to reach the father. So, one thing lead to another and leash's length was shortened to half its original length. We were able to travel about thirty miles until further renovations were needed. By the end of the trip Jack was in the back of the car, he and the luggage traded places. He stayed in the back for the rest of the trips. He was relatively calm from then on.
      Whilst we were in Wyoming, the area that we were in had about two to three feet of snow. It was quite entertaining to watch jack run through the snow that matched him in height. He earned the name Kangaroo Jack. 
      Within the families that were living at the residence of witch we were staying, there were four dogs. The dogs earned secret names in my mind; there was Gluttony, Envy, Sloth, and Pride. The dogs actions reflected the predominately features of their owners. Let’s start with Gluttony, this little beast wished to only sit around and eat everything. Envy, this thing was supper annoying; all it wanted was for your attention. Sloth, I liked sloth, he was super chill and really didn't nothing. Pride, this little one was the leader of this party. I am glad that Lust and Wrath were unable to come to this reunion.
