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?
