How many states has your dog been in?

[fivedogdad]

Our recent vacation to Texas got me to thinking about the old game of how many states can you claim to have visited, only modified to fit the pooch. To claim as visiting a state, pooch must have put paw pad to terra firma (actual dirt and grass). Just traveling through or flying over a state doesn't count. Example, on the way to Texas we drove straight through Indiana never stopping. Didn't count. On the way back, I made certain to stop in Indiana for gas allowing the mutts to disembark and stroll around the gas station's grass lot to take care of business. Counts. Here is the score on our dogs:

Oreo 1 state dog Never been out of Ohio

Jack 2 state dog We got him from Kentucky

Pippi 6 state dog Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas (Recent vacation to Texas)

Taggert 6 state dog same six states as Pippi

Snoopy 7 state dog same six states as Pippi and Taggert plus Arkansas (Trip to Texas 2 years ago we took the southern root).

Dazzi 7 state dog Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Arkansas, Texas, Kentucky (made trip to Texas 2 years ago but not the last one. Went with us to checkout and get Jack.)

So how many states can your dog claim to have visited?

[Samantha Puppy]

I think just three for Samantha. We live in Maryland. En route to visit her daddy when he was at college, we drove through West Virginia to get to Virginia.

However, this summer my husband and I are taking her with us on vacation to the Outer Banks so in three more months, it'll be four!

[PJ's Mom]

As far as I know, Bailey has never been out of Texas. Peej has been to Texas, Arkansas, Tennessee and Kentucky. :)

[Christiansmommy]

Dale was born in North Carolina, and so, bringing him back to Jersey, he has officially been in North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, Delaware and New Jersey.

His registered AKC name is Sudnly Zemplar Rhode Island. The theme for the litter was to pick out a state to be put into their AKC name, and we picked Rhode Island, though he has never been there, it is the smallest state and he was the smallest from the litter, they called him "peanut", we thought it fit him :)

(They do the theme name, i guess so if the breeder ever sees a Sudnly Swissie with a state in their AKC name at an event, even Westminster :)), he will know what litter it came from...kinda neat...)

I know I answered more than the original question...oops :rolleyes:

[Cincy'sMom]

Sadie and Cincy have only been in two states...Ohio and Michigan...but they were in spitting distance of West Virginia when we adopted Spot.

Spot is a three state dog...Ohio,Michigan and West Virginia. We were not with him when he was in WV, but since his vet papers came from there. I can assume he set foot on the soil.

[sabies]

8 for Sadie - New Jersey, New York, Vermont, PA, Virginia, NC, CA, and Nevada.

This April we are driving x-country to Utah so it will be a lot more! At least it's almost definite we're going :).

[Buddy Blaze Lover]

Blaze was born in California, then at 1, we flew him to Kentucky...there was an indirect flight through Ohio, so I don't know if that counts...so basically just California and Kentucky...what a big expanse, huh?:D;) He hasn't gone anywhere since!
