We just returned from our 16 day roundtrip drive and visit to our little slice of woodsy heaven in Missouri. We drove the 3,600 miles in three days each way, but the last day from Albuquerque to LA was 800 miles and 12 hours. The dogs enjoyed resting on the console to help navigate road hazards. Travelling with 3 females has its own set of challenges.

Nice going master You just missed your turn We agree with mommy When will you ever learn? Take a brief moment Before you pull away To read the map and memorize The route we’ll take today Oh my, Master You’re tailgating a trucker My little ears start burning Each time you shout out Mother F*****r They really can’t help it And you are on vacation You must slow down to appreciate The landmarks of our nation By the way master We’ve been on the road since three If you don’t stop somewhere soon On this console we will pee Yes it’s better than the kennel To leave the woods just made us cry But should the circumstance allow Please next time let us fly Copyright 2011 Patrick Granfors

I always appreciate and enjoy your humor, Patrick. I took a road trip (not nearly as long as yours)recently with my best friend. It was me and her two other boys (canines) so she was the only girl in the vehicle. Lots of fun. ☻ Love and peace,

A wonderful capture of the esprit of this most INCREDIBLE journey, Patrick! How is it that dogs always lean the wrong way when you go round the bend? I have never been able to figure that one out... xx

Very funny. And to those of us that refuse to leave their four legged "kids", how true, Bonnie and I are thinking of selling my little sports car and buying Honda CUV so we can take our two kids in comfort.

As per usual, cuz, the dogs are smarter & more humorous than you,
They keep writing me emails and telling me you belong in a zoo,
Thank them by the way for with this poem, making forget I am blue,
If they are upset with regards your language,
The next time they ride along with you, on your lips they should use super glue...Jurseeeeeeeeeeeeeeey
