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.
