Traveling with Gracie

This year's family vacation in Kiawah went very well. Gracie travelled better than ever. Of course, that would be "better" on her terms. She still freaked out at the first rest area stop. She was particularly upset when we stopped at a rest area that was too close to the busy highway.

She stopped trembling after a few minutes, though, and even raised her head and boldly looked around as we were travelling. These things may not seem monumental to you. If you are a follower of this blog, you realize how significant these seemingly tiny events are.

Did I find a new miracle pill for her? No, this trip was unmedicated, either with traditional or homeopathic medicine. For the last several months, I have focused more on desensitizing Gracie by taking her on car rides around the neighborhood or to the Biltmore Estate.

If you have a fearful pooch, be patient. Gracie has been a member of our family for almost three years. It has taken that long to get to this point. We calculate that, by the time she is 15, she should love riding in the car!
