Life In the Back Seat

The furry kids were very good during the cross country trip while taking up the back seat. B.J. spent most of his time looking out the side window just as a small child would do. Occasionally I would lower the window, weather permitting, and he would hang out sniffing the air. He took several "cat" naps when he wasn't being run over by Blaze.

Blaze hung out most of the trip with her head stuck between Joe and I. Her eyes would be glued forward as though she was a backseat driver, but when she spotted an 18 wheeler coming down the road, she would lunge into the backseat and snarl at the truck. (Hence the interruptions in B.J.'s naps). Blaze NEVER took a nap for the first two days of travel! She was so pumped up about the trip the first day that we had to stop and buy some Benedryl and give it to her. It only lasted 5 hours per pill though.

They both loved getting out at the rest areas and trying their best to "water" every shrub, tree and bush they could reach.
