And I have to bribe him to pull over so I can pee. He's learned his lesson after I came down with a kidney infection because he wouldn't stop for a potty break! As for snacks; the best part of the trip!

I complain the whole time, then get sad when the trips are over. Dog farts rival the men and they're burritos. How do we keep letting them back into our houses? After the long car rides, I'm always amazed at the amount of Pringles' cans and empty bags of licorice we inhale.<br />I cringe Michele Marriotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16658350918252530545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-518068641407666837.post-3184665006305521092013-07-24T22:06:32.754-04:002013-07-24T22:06:32.754-04:00You'd have to sit in the back seat of the car ...You'd have to sit in the back seat of the car with the pug if you went on a road trip with me....menopausal mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09058933838070665032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-518068641407666837.post-27380410708332979642013-07-24T22:04:03.413-04:002013-07-24T22:04:03.413-04:00The worst but the funniest!The worst but the funniest!menopausal mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09058933838070665032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-518068641407666837.post-1182457348270651592013-07-24T16:34:25.547-04:002013-07-24T16:34:25.547-04:00I loved your point about fast food.

I normally wouldn't go within a hundred yards of a McDonalds, which makes running errands around town rather inconvenient and time consuming, but when I'm on a road trip, it's just assumed I'm going to get a value meal #2 from Ronald, Grimace, and the crew, smelling up the car for weeks on end.
