So, I abandoned the board this summer because we took a major road trip. We packed up (or mostly threw everything out) and drove from Alameda, CA to Massachusetts. We took about 2 months to sightsee, etc.
Its difficult to sightsee in the summer with a dog. Not to mention that I have a snake as well. It was a lot of weird hotel coordinating. But we made it. And Ellie had a blast, for the most part.
Here's her blog from the trip:

Oh, her nickname is Dwina, in case that is confusing.

- Tell us about yourself: I am in New York State. Got my first DS about 14 years ago (more or less as a rescue- lost her in Nov.). After years of GSD's, and a few dogs of other breeds (Rotti/Beauceron/Ger. Shorthaired Pointer/ Yorkie and my current Jack Russell) I now have another DS, 4mo female, no name yet, tho I have a few in mind.
Also have a horse-old quarter horse mare-32.

Re: Ellie's summer blog
You were very close to some of us here in the East! And YES Mystic Pizza is awsome! I get it when I go to visit my daughter in RI.
We should have gotten a group from the forum together for just a day---Mass is only about 3 hrs from me.
Looks like you had an interesting trip!

- Tell us about yourself: I adopted a Dutch Shepherd mix (without knowing what she was) from the SPCA here in Victoria BC and am now trying to learn everything I can about this breed. My husband and I work from home most of the time so I thought it was time to get a puppy! We have his 2 boys here half the time and we wanted a nice family dog.
Sugar looks like a miniature Dutch Shepherd with floppy ears, and has every ounce of DS traits in her little body!
I hope to learn from other DS owners and share doggy experiences. - Location: Victoria BC
