Yes, in 3 years not once have we set sail or trail without him -though to be perfectly clear he doesn’t like boats at all. It may be a challenge to comprehend why we would opt to travel with a dog who isn’t exactly mild or even well-mannered in a vehicle, it’s not that he doesn’t like the ride, although were not exactly sure what it is, perhaps excitement. However, when we rescued him he was quite the handful and we couldn’t expect anyone…

We have been living the dream!  Styx, our traveling rescue dog, has really taken to this adventure quite well. There is so much goodness to be shared with you all in the coming weeks but for now I’ve included couple of captures of the Santa Cruz coastline.
