Sorry for your loss...
Bella and I go on road trips every few months to my dads (only a 4 1/2 hour trip). And once a year to NY (a 15-16 hour trip) she is an awesome rider.
We bring a few toys, Nylabone and treats for the ride. And we make a stop every 3-4 hours not that she even needs to go potty, probably more for me[emoji1787][emoji23]! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sheā€™s an awesome rider? Geez thatā€™s putting it mildly!! She sleeps all the way from your photos! Hahaha. Too cute!!

We got back a week ago, everything went smoothly. Bruschi did very well , he got scared at the motel , we went to my late dadā€™s apt he made himself a home. He even nested in a sleeping bag my dad had in his room. Human Bean (coffee drive -thru) gave Bruschi a snack , itā€™s my favorite now!

We come back home to another situation , my 91 year old maternal grandmother is in the hospital. Just so much going on , keep me in your prayers, thank you!

Sounds like Bruschi was sent to you for a reason! Thoughts and prayers for your hard times.

What a good little traveler. Glad everything went well and at least you now know you can bring him everywhere:). How was he in the vehicle?

My thoughts are with you n your grandmother.

He did very well in the car. Thank you very much . My grandma loved Bruschi, she called him ā€œ El NiƱo bonitoā€ beautiful boy in Spanish.

My grandma is at home off hospice . Sheā€™s got dementia will be moved to a family members home.

I visited her Sunday evening, in Spanish I said , to her the beautiful boy loves you . She had this big smile across her face.

She called Bruschi ā€œ El NiƱo bonitoā€ means beautiful boy.

Is your grandma moving closer to you? And yes he is a beautiful boy. Her seeing Bruschi might actually be good for her. :)

Update:

I took Bruschi to visit his G- nana . Her face lit up with joy. She said, he was good boy in Spanish. She enjoyed touching him , I carried him in my arms so she can see him from her bedside.

Thank you the suggestion! My aunt was happy to see we made grandma happy.

She will be moving tomorrow to my uncles home for the remainder of her life . Sheā€™s on her road to recovery and is improving daily. Sheā€™s 91.
