Toby and Daisy are in obedience school. Today was the second class. The first class, Daisy did really well and was a star, with the teacher using her to demonstrate an exercise she did well. Toby, on the other hand, was a total goofball.

Today was reversed. Toby sat! He stayed! (ok, maybe not so much), he laid down when told, and did well accepting direction through obstacles. Daisy was very difficult, and consistent with what we believe to be Chihuahua/ Min Pin heritage. That is not a highly trainable combination.

We love them, and are having fun working with them. The one problem is that Daisy gets carsick. Any of you doggo Oppos have carsick dog remedies?

We have really enjoyed taking Toby on Sunchaser trips, but worry very much about his temperature with his coloring. The Touge was a challenge, but he got annoyed that my wife kept pouring water in him to keep him cool. Have any of you ever used something like this? How well do they work?

You scared me! I read “was a good boy” and thought he’d passed away.

Hey...we have a dog named Toby as well!

Once we had a white guy at an airport go on a ranting tirade at my wife about how she was incredibly racist because our dog was named Toby. Never quite figured that one out nor why it was any of his business. (Though Toby came with the name when we adopted him.)

The dispensaries in Detroit have edibles for dogs. I’m guessing Cali would too. I’m not sure if that helps with car sickness or not.
