This is Fruitycake The Raccoon. Just a reminder that I’m not a real raccoon. I just play one on the internet. View this post on Instagram A post shared by 2 Traveling Dogs (@2travelingdogs) What a few days. We have done more driving than anyone I know. And yet, tomorrow, we drive again. To where? Don’t know. But I know we are done in this Miami place. Once again, the persons were hit with more disappointment about papers. And then Brickle started feeling real bad again. I don’t do well in this heat either. It’s as hot as you can imagine it to be. And since we are in limbo in life, m ..read more

This is Peanut Butter Brickle. I don’t know how many roads that I have traveled on. Just the last few days, it’s been a lot. Can you imagine the roads I’ve traveled on my whole life? None of these roads have been easy. In fact, I remember when persons told us not to travel at all. I remember when persons told me I was too old. Even ten years ago. I also know that the road we are on now…the road we have chosen now…is not an easy one. In fact, many would have given up by now. Many would have quit when it came to that Italy place. And my senior dog road? Many. Many would have given up on me b ..read more

This is Peanut Butter Brickle. You know what? I like snacks. Lots of snacks. I think I may actually like snacks more than I like dinner. Or lunch. Or breakfast. Snacks are life. Digby definitely knew this. I miss him eating all of my snacks. So yesterday, when the persons said we had to head back to that Miami, Florida place, I didn’t ask many questions. I’m used to plans changing. I mean, weren’t we supposed to be heading up north? Seems like we are just turning back around. Because we are turning back around. Our life is like the Hokey Pokey. The only thing I was really concerned about w ..read more

This is Peanut Butter Brickle. Persons say that time flies. And they want time to slow down. But then, they go to sleep. That’s wasting time in my opinion. So when I have my all nighters, I have to wonder what the big deal is. I mean, shouldn’t we want to be with the ones we love as much as possible? I know that I am so handsome though that sometimes you can’t look at me directly for too long. It’s like the eclipse. Yes, its true I get confused on what time it may be. Or when I should be awake. Or asleep. Or eating. Or if I need to eat again. But you know what? The long nights we can nev ..read more

This is Peanut Butter Brickle. If there’s one thing I’ve learned about persons, it’s that they love to talk. They will talk about themselves. They will talk about other persons. Now. I understand the value of talking about yourself. We all need to love ourselves. I love myself a lot. Always have. Always will. But talking about other persons? If you’re saying nice things about them, keep talking. But if you’re saying unkind things or negative things, ask yourself why you feel the need to do that. After all, there is always a reason and a motive behind all we do. Every decision we make affect ..read more

This is Peanut Butter Brickle. Well, it’s seems as if I have worried my persons again. On the days when I feel less than perfect, they feel terrible. It’s like they take all my weight…a whole 69 pounds of it…and carry it around on their shoulders. But you know what I’ve learned in my almost 15 years this time around? That some days you will feel like you can handle the world. Like you can do anything. And some days, you won’t be ok. And that’s ok. Sometimes we try to get out of the not ok times by ignoring it. By pretending it’s not happening. Or by trying not to feel the feelings we need t ..read more

This is Fruitycake The Raccoon. Just a reminder that I’m not a real raccoon. I just play one in real life. You know I’m all about interrupting. Interruptions are my specialty. Bark. Talk. Bark louder. Talk louder. I get the job done. But yesterday, we had a few rude interruptions. The kind that isn’t made better by me being cute. Life is funny. You can be going about your day headed in one direction. And then get sidetracked. And when that happens, you can either get lost. Or you can pull yourself together. There we were. Fast asleep after a very long day of travel. When all of a sudden ..read more

This is Peanut Butter Brickle. We left the farm yesterday and said our last goodbyes to all our cousins. Family is family. You don’t have to be related to feel related. View this post on Instagram A post shared by 2 Traveling Dogs (@2travelingdogs) Before we started our long drive to Panama City, Florida place, we stopped to tell my aunt Veronica bye. Another family member in my heart. She used to have me and Digby for sleepovers. She would make us good food. And we loved her very much. It was hard to say goodbye. But as we got back in the car, I knew we were headed to a new place. A ..read more

This is Peanut Butter Brickle. And I am just so grateful. Grateful that I’ve had this time at the farm. I’m grateful that Fruitycake made such good friends with the horses. View this post on Instagram A post shared by 2 Traveling Dogs (@2travelingdogs) I am grateful for so many things that I have experienced the last few weeks. Just like all of the places I have been to. Some more than others, yes. Most of all, I’ll miss the me that I was here. Because none of us stay the same when we leave somewhere. Anywhere. But I also know that I’ll go to another place I’ll love. And I’ll be a new m ..read more

This is Fruitycake. I’m still learning. You’re still learning. Every day, if we are alive, we have that opportunity. Isn’t it great? What I do learn though is sometimes not expected. Playing to some dogs is just natural. For me, it feels strange. Kinda of like fighting. But playing. But it’s supposed to be fun. I am still getting the hang of it. View this post on Instagram A post shared by 2 Traveling Dogs (@2travelingdogs) But for persons, learning may be something they don’t do naturally. Because of pride. They have a lot of that. And so when we were supposed to leave over a week ago ..read more
