I’ve used a couple of these snaps on other posts
and the poem is a repost from earlier on this blog
but they all epitomize this week’s theme for me
🙂
Travelling Dog
Travelling Dogs
On the 600km journey –
she looks at flowers and clouds,
he computes mileage per litre,
she ponders the secrets of cows,
he remarks that it might storm later…
She sees the wire-pig mailbox,
he spies a snake on the road,
he surveys flood-plain paddocks,
she wonders if cows talk in code…
He thinks perhaps ‘Box of Frogs’,
she’d prefer peace for a while,
both laugh at the travelling dogs,
their windblown ears and their smiles

This is brilliant! The words and pics are so synchronized – fantastic and made my day (night!)
I’m so glad it had that effect, Julie 😀 Thanks
Now this brought a smile to my morning…thanks!
Always happy to bring a smile, Charles 😀 Thanks
That’s great 🙂
Thanks, Northern Narratives 😀 I’m always on the lookout for traveling dogs 🙂
Hehe! Love this.
Until the last stanza, I thought the ‘she’ was a travelling dog 🙂
My dogs love the car.
Haha, thanks, Tilly 😀 I love your interpretation – when I first posted it last year, another blogger interpreted it that way too
I remember that poem – really good and the ending is perfect!
Thanks, Gabe 🙂
Nice post, bb. It would be nice to know what the dogs are thinking 🙂
They always seem to be enjoying themselves, Jan 🙂
Loved it. Thanks, BB. I’m picking up “A Dog’s Purpose” at the library this afternoon . . . here’s to K9 travels.
I haven’t heard if it, Nancy – will have to check it out. Thanks 🙂
happy dogs – happy trip – he and she communicate in a rhythm all their own
They do always look so happy, Monica 🙂
that first image really made me smile
He looks cheeky 🙂
Great entries on the Journey theme 🙂
Thanks, Madman 🙂
Lovely 🙂 I wonder if this is what Macaulay does on a long journey?
I’d suggest he’s too busy listening to the philosophical debates and banter going on in the car 🙂
Love this BB! Am such a dog person. My old boy is 16 and a half and he still likes travelling!
Thanks, Graham – hope he gets to go on lots of trips with you 🙂
BB I love dogs. I love your poem
. Spice is not quite your travelling dog, but she gets by. My last dog, Daisy, used to bananas when she spotted cows or cats out of the back window of my car.
What an entertainment this poem is! Thanks., John
June goes home today. Rejoice, and thanks be to God
That is really great news, John – much better to be at home surrounded by family and familiarity. Wishing June a speedy recovery and best wishes to you both, John.

Thanks, John – I’m glad it provided some light relief 🙂
These are really interesting shots. 😉
Thanks, Elizabeth – they’re usually taken on the run and through dirty car windows 🙂

How cute is that last dog with his little lifejacket? Awwww. Love your photos and your poem, especially ‘windblown ears and smiles…’
Thanks, Selma 🙂
