Dummy the Kid *yurked* twice last weekend - inna car, no less
Hey, Cinder Girl, it's me, Hannah! Mom said to tell you about how I used to hurl every time I rode in the car. It started when I was a puppy and Mom thought I'd get over it after a little bit, but I didn't. They were real careful not to feed me for hours before we went someplace, but that didn't help I would find something to upchuck anyways. Sometimes they'd almost make it home and I hadn't gurked yet and they thought they would be home free and then I'd let it rip right as we drove in the driveway. Some doggies just get nauseated while riding in the car. But the good news is that one day I just stopped doing it. I can't remember how old I was, maybe two. Now I'm okay in the car, but we still don't eat before we ride anyplace, just a good idea, Mom says. So better watch the Smokey kid when he rides and keep them towels in the car. Mom used to carry a big bottle of water too for emergency clean-ups. Some peoples say a dog should be in a crate in the car so they can't see out the window which is what makes them motion sick, but I say they are just trying to take the joy out of a dog's life. If Smokes takes enough rides, he'll eventually get used to it like I did.
