Some of you guys may know that me and Watson are on the move from Charleston, SC to California. We started out first leg on Thursday and arrived in Biloxi, MS then the second day we went from Biloxi to Houston. Watson held up really well. He slept 80% of the time. We are in Houston now for the weekend and Watson was happy to meet so many new people.

This was 5a.m. when we took off. He was still sleepy



He alternated between these few positions in the car.

We stopped every 3 hours but what I realized was the rest stops are not very pet friendly and there were alot of bugs so these were quick stops for him to stretch out and get some fresh water.



Once we got to Houston he got to play with my relatives and had lots of fun.

Pooor Watson.. lol Thanx for bringing us up to date on the migration. Big family you have in Houston. ;)
 
Glad the trip has gone so well so far. How long are you staying in Houston before the next leg of the journey?
 
you didn't get anyone in the eye w/that champagne cork, did ya?!:laugh:

looking forward to hearing and seeing more of your travel journal til you get home to So Cal!!
 
Be safe on your journey, Watson looks very comfortable in the navigator's seat!
 
Everyone looks great! You guys must be really really bonding. He's such a good boy. give him a hug from us
 
Watson is such a photogenic bully boy!!! And I love that you are keeping us up to date on where your travels are taking you. I'm following your progress too on facebook ............ enjoy your big adventure together!! :up:
 
How great is it to have family to visit on your journey? That's so cool. I'm in the process of trying to get a transfer to Washington D.C. so most likely we'll have a cross country trip coming up too. Hope all goes well.

Tell Watson...Waaaazzzzzzzuuuuuuuuuuppppp
 
Great co-pilot......

Lari, we are staying until Monday morning. We are going to leave at 5am and try to get to New Mexico.

We are waiting for you! It's great to keep up on your travels! Watson looks and sounds like a great traveling companion! Be safe!
He has been great. Of course he doesn't get the same freedom as when he is at home but we will get there soon

Well, the whole time the waiter is like don't shake it or make the floor wet. My dad is like shake it. So I opened one with shaking which wasn't dramatic enough so they made me open a second which fizzled everywhere
 
Be safe on your journey, Watson looks very comfortable in the navigator's seat!
He has lots of space, thanks.

Everyone looks great! You guys must be really really bonding. He's such a good boy. give him a hug from us
