Do You Take Your Dog Everywhere?

Hi, Mariana, I think it's great you can take the dog along. We had a dog who did get to go everywhere. She was so well behaved that we could count on her to not cause any problems or scare the wits out of us. Since then we've had dogs who come frightened of being in a car, and who are not trustworthy. They get out of the back yard and go wild. The favorite game is "catch me if you can". Oh, no, can't handle that.

Nice bar. Looks like a good place to just sit and relax for a while.

Sis!! You look adorable!

Love Roadie too!

Sure wish I was sitting there drinking that cold one with you! :)

Have a great weekend!

Paz, dinero y amor. ~E

Those are some great pictures. We don't have a dog, rather a cat. He stays at home. My mother sometimes brings her big dog (wolf-husky) into town. She did one day during the summer when we were to meet at an ourdoor table of a cafe for lunch). My sister takes her little wiener everywhere (wait that didn't sound right....oh, you know what I mean!) Ttreats him just like one of her children. It's different for everyone.

Gees, my dog that I had growing up never got that much attention or exercise! I would think, unless something is going on with her, she must be a very happy, lucky pooch! I really enjoyed these pictures of you with her, Mariana!!! Nice to see where you like to hang out!

P.S. I didn't know Esther is your sister!!! What a surprise!!!

I don't have a dog.

Really? You two are really sisters?

I don't have a dog. Never have - so I don't know if I would. I probably would sometimes. Downtown Santa Barbara looks lovely! (and cold?)

Oh no, she's only my little sister on Gather - I have bunches of new relatives since I joined Gather! Thank yall. Salud

You and your dog both look cute!

I don't have pets owing to allergies. I got dog ehen in junior high and loved to take him everywhere. He'd even share my hoagies and pizzas. For most of his first year he was small enough that I could carry him in my jacket pocket with his head sticking out!

What a fun photo essay. Sadly I rarely take my dog anywhere. She's not very good on a leash and with the disk problems, I don't need her putting that kind of pressure on her neck all the time.

we adopted a dog who had no where to go, she now goes most places with us, but she growls at any dog who goes by, so we have to be careful where we go with her,

You live in the best places! Wonderful photo essay!

Nope, I don't take my dog out and about. Oh yeah, we go for long hikes in the woods and the cranberry bogs....but Tuck is really too big and has terrible manners. At one point, I took him to the Nursing Home but he spent all his time trying to kiss and get up in the laps of all the old people. He really thinks he's a lap dog! A hundred pound lap dog.

Katie thinks she can go everywhere, as soon as I open the door she is waiting at the car. just so many places around here don't allow animals.

I can't believe you have to wear that big winter coat in Santa Barbara. You look like you are in Massachusetts!

I absolutely LOVE the middle picture where you;re raising a toast at the bar. You are such a beautiful young lady! Kisses to that pretty face. Cheers back at you, sweetie.

That's neat, and nice pictures. My little Maggie loves car rides, so I often take her for a rides in my truck. She wants to sniff the air out the window soo bad.. LOL. I'll drive real slow around the neighborhood and let her hang out and sniff to her hearts content, ha ha.

that is so much fun! :) hey how is your neighbor?

Cute pictures and a really cute dog!

I wish I could take Zorro out for longer stints right now but it is way too cold for him. When it is warm though I do take him everywhere with me and make sure I visit those places that are doggie frienly.

No, I don't take my dog anywhere with me. Oh, wait, I don't have a dog.

I love the photos. You and your cute little doggie are matching. You are a doll Mariana!

What a lovely photo essay, Mariana!
When I had a dog he generally stayed home.
I'm pretty picky about keeping the windows
on my vehicles clean and I found that dogs
made a mess of them with their wet noses.

Curt - all of my windows are covered with dog licks! lol...thanks!!! thank you Monica - you are too - I love the name Zorro - Sophie, here in SB, we're pretty doggie friendly! Thank you Courtney
Miz Jessie - Grandmother is fine - she's 99 and still has a dry wit - very funny!
John my two big dogs were like that - one just died and I'll miss his head out the window but the other one may still do it on a long trip!
Bless your heart, Rob! Thanks.

Bob, that's not a winter coat - it's a light-weight cashmere blend sweater type thing...put on your glasses...lol...
Phaedra, she sounds like fun!

Bob, I know what you mean - my two black labs were like that - overly friendly to people but hated other dogs or anyone who looked vaquely threatening.
more later. Salud

Very cute. I took my dog "Thor" everywhere with me; even my office, until his death last year. I found him when he was between 1 and 2 the vet said (abused, nearly dead) and he lived another 19 years. I had him on the b.a.r.f. diet (why he lived so long). I've had dogs all my life, but he was the first I ever had where I mostly worked at home, so he was always by my side, slept on my bed, the store owners all knew him, my banker (at the pristine BOA building demanded he comen inside) etc. He was a very special dog. He died a year ago next week. Am just now thinking of getting another one.

OMG Rick - tell me about that diet - your dog is absolutely gorgeous - awwwww sorry he died but what a long life for a big dog! Mine just died at 13 and a half - I miss him so much. I had a cat that was 28 when she died...Your precious dog is totally one in a million - thanks for the pictures - I hope you adopt another one - you sound like a great parent! Salud

My pooch goes everywhere with me. He thinks every drive-up window might be DairyQueen where he gets the "pup cup". Of course it means taking into consideration the temp in the car whether he gets to come along. I also have switched to the b.a.r.f. diet with the new pup. (To tell the truth he did barf the first time he tasted it as he was used to solid kibble. Now he loves it) I get the frozen patties and give him a third patty...he's small, a sheltie.

Mariana, I thoroughly enjoyed this! My dogs love to go for a walk, but they don't like all the chauffeuring I do for my teenager and would rather stay home. So if I say "Want to go for a walk?" they come running. But if I say "I'm going to go get Lizzy -- want to come?" they look at me, keep their feet planted and almost shake their heads. If I say "Want to go to Nonnie's house (my mother who lives up the street)?" they come running with enthusiasm (they ADORE her!) DISCERNING DOGS, they are!

My dog is a portable size but just not that user-friendly. (He likes to lift his leg on "new" people that he likes. He is lucky to have survived to almost nine years.)

My previous dogs, though bigger, (65 lbs or thereabouts) were a joy to take with me, and everyone loved them. And the worst thing they ever did was lay a slightly drool-y head in someone's lap and look at them in such a way that the lap-owner couldn't resist.

Roadie is precious... I think I've been to that mall...

we take are little guy every where in the summer but in the winter i cant he would be to cold but he is the best and he would think he was in love with your little girl

Wow! I can't believe how much she looks like out Missy. Does she pull like a locomotive?

Chaka weighs about 80 pounds and thinks it's fun to run up behind people and plant her front paws in their butts..

nooooo...... we go anyplace at all it's on a leash.

Sassy goes with us everywhere,that's why we got the RV.I will not leave her home anymore.She will pout if she thinks we are going for a ride.

Marianna - You are beautiful! I see you plainly in the picture but not your dog. I have the same trouble with my dog Smokey because he is so black. All you see are his shiny eyes and his teeth when he smiles for the camera.
I would take him with me in the car all the time, but he grew so big he accidently shifts the gears. It just isn't safe to have him up front, and he doesn't want to ride in the back of our shell-covered pickup bed where he slides when I go around corners. My old Sherpa fits up front but I would have to lift her in and out and she is too heavy now that she eats regularly.

Oh that is so very delightful--you two just out doing the town.

what I wouldn't give to hang out with my dog in a pub and drink beer...like how cool is that??lol Green with envy girlfriend!! great photos, enjoyed it!!

What a dynamic duo you two are! Adorable! (And if I had a dog I would do the same...cats won't cooperate- I miss my dogs!)

too cute! and like mom said, cats don't cooperate on walks!
