A dog's life ......2013 roadtrip to Colorado

Saturday NaKoda and I left out for our vacation to Durango Colorado. We drove from Brownwood TX to Clovis New Mexico the first day. In Clovis after being in the truck all day we went to the dog park in town. It was nice and even separated the small dogs from the large dogs.  NaKoda met her first Great Danes in person. While she was curious about these large creatures she was not very keen on them when they approached her (2) and then proceeded to hover over her. She quickly let them know she was not in the mood to be hovered over after all didn’t they know who she was? We spent a relaxing evening in the hotel as we had a long day ahead of us going the rest of the way to Durango.

Sunday we got an early start on the road. We were going along enjoying the scenery until we hit Albuquerque NM. Let me tell you for someone with an anxiety disorder that is not a fun place to drive, then we hit our first mountain pass and let me tell you if I had any questions about whether or not NaKoda understood her momma’s anxiety disorder I have no questions when we get into situations like that.  She quickly moved over to middle of the front seat and put her head on my lap to help relax me.  She stayed in that position until we were once again out of Albuquerque and on the hwy again. We looked out the windows and enjoyed the drive until we entered Colorado and once again were on the mountain passes. NaKoda once again moved over to me and put her head in my lap. This is not an easy activity for a 119lb Rottweiler in the front seat of a Dodge Quad Cab but she does it with grace and I don’t care what anyone says she takes care of me and if someone doesn’t like me taking her everywhere I go then they can just not be a part of our lives! I spoil her because she takes care of me.
