Chihuahua chatauqua

    You wouldn't think it would be fun. It isn't a very exciting place. An unpaved road running from nowhere to nowhere, flanked by not very scenic farms. But it's the best place ever for excitable chihuahuas to run, since there aren't other dogs (or people) there. We've gone three times now, and twice with both chihuahuas, and it's been crazy fun every time. We are hoping that Lucy (the older, more nervous traveler of the two) will eventually start to associate car trips with fun instead of vets and plane flights. But it's possible that she has motion sickness. Anyway, once we get there she has fun and absolutely refuses to admit that she's tired when she's obviously flagging. It was supposed to be crazy hot today, but a tropical depression coming this way depressed temperatures. (It also raised humidity, but you can't have everything.) So we got an extra fairly temperate day in what is normally already summer around here. So yay!
