Road Tripping with Mom & Dad

By Comments:

Mom & Dad recently went on vacation but this time I got to go along! In three years this was my very first official Delameter road trip and I was so excited.

Back in the spring Mom and Dad bought me a vacation house on wheels that they call a pop-up truck camper and named her Taquito. I LOVE going camping in Taquito. It’s very small so I can be right next to them all of the time and the bed is so fun. It’s up above so Mom & Dad lift me up each night so I get to sleep with them all night. It’s perfect. We get to go to so many fun places that we can’t go to in my main house. That’s right, I am a very spoiled dog having two houses to call my own.

One Dog’s Review – Critter Nanny Doggie Daycare

By Comments:

As you probably know, my parents recently headed off to Costa Rica and left me behind! Lucky for me I got to go visit my friends at Critter Nanny where I stay when they’re traveling. Although I haven’t been there since the fall of 2021, I was excited to see my friends Nancy and Jim still there to greet me.

I can Swim!

By Comments:

After a VERY busy summer here at the resort, life is beginning to move at a slightly slower pace. To celebrate mom & dad took me TENT CAMPING. Now, you probably know we live in a lovely travel trailer, which I like to think of as my own personal safe place. Generally, when we go on our weekend trips we either stay with grandma & grandpa or friends in Portland. When we go camping in other spots we simply hook up and take our trailer with us.

A Late Introduction ~ My Name is Ryder

By Comments:

My name is Ryder and I can’t believe I’m lucky enough to be the new voice of The Black Dog Chronicles! I’ve been a Delameter for nearly two years already, you know that’s nearly 14 years in dog years, but have delayed in beginning my writing career for a long time because I just wasn’t feeling so well. More about that soon.

The Black Dog Chronicles Return with a New Face

By Comments:

Welcome back! It’s unbelievable to think it’s been six years since the last BDC post. Back then, Aspen was still living the dream traveling Mexico and Guatemala with mom & dad. After they all returned to the United States and mom & dad went back to work she led a more leisurely life as campground ambassador while still enjoying winters in Baja.

My Friend Hedgy

By Comments:

When Porter died, mom got me a stuffed hedgehog toy. She knew how sad I was and thought I might want a new cuddle buddy. I had nothing to do with it. I missed Porter and his silly dance. I missed licking his ears, even when I knew he didn’t want to admit he liked it. I missed him. Its now been almost two months since he has been gone and, although I still miss him very much, I now have my new friend Hedgy.

Keeping Cool

By Comments:1 Comment

I have to say, that while I am enjoying Puerto Vallarta, it is HOT. And more than hot there is something mom & dad call humidity. I don’t think I know exactly what that is but I do know it makes me pant a lot and can even make it hard to breath!

Dogs on the Road Interview ~ Rasta & Rose of BurlyDirtyHippy

By Comments:

I am thrilled, today, to present my Dogs on the Road interview with Rasta and Rose of @burlydirtyhippy and The Ecclectic Dirtbags. Porter and I first met Rasta and Rose, and their parents Bruce and Jodi, in Baja at the Pescadero Surf Camp. We thought they were SO much like us. Rasta is a bit of a delicate flower, bothered by the heat and bugs, etc while Rose is like myself, TOTALLY fetch obsessed.

I was lucky enough to camp with them for a full week in Sayulita, so got to know them a little bit better. Here are their thoughts of the life of Dogs on the Road.

Tell me a little about yourselves~

Hello, I am Rasta, a 9 year old Harlequin Great Dane.  I have been with my parents 
since I was a pup.  I grew up helping momma around the farm, hunting down all the pesky 
groundhogs and watching over the chickens. I really loved farm life.  Rose the Red 
Lab-ish showed up a little over three years ago.  I must say she was a little too 
energetic for me at first, but her sweetness quickly won me over.
