As someone with a dog that (still) refuses to pee at rest stops along the highway, that last sentence is everything.

Everybody assumes (and has told me) she will figure it out. She is almost 5. She never has.

Yeah I mostly don’t even bother with rest stops anymore. I have a bunch of little city parks marked on routes. Sometimes, often, the best grass in town is the courthouse or a church lawn. And he’s calmer without the traffic.

Woody might not give a fuck about Thanksgiving but you know he’s a lot happier with you than without, holiday or not. And *I think* the reverse is true. You know, not based on anything except you built him a bed in the back of your new truck. Drive safely. Maybe get an orange vest for yourself, too?

Woody owns that van. And yeah - the orange vest. Dumbass hunters will shoot at anything that moves. Or doesn’t. Get one for yourself, too. And an orange hat.

You two are fortunate to have found each other. Now, get him an orange vest.

Carhart makes a nice orange vest for pups.

Everything runs better on Dunkin. On my tour, I dressed as a Puritan woman for the Rhode Island Witch Parade. (ISTG I'm not kidding.) We went to Dunkin with me dressed like that. I told the kids there that I was their Pilgrim story come to life. I'll text you a photo. #dorkalert
