Morning Cuddle – TravellerDog Wakes up in a New Country

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Are you a morning- or an evening person? My mama is a morning person and I’m definitely an evening dog![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”1672″ img_size=”full”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”1676″ img_size=”full”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_column_text]In the mornings I’m very tired and mama usually wakes me up with a gentle caress. We have made it a habit to cuddle a bit each morning before getting out of bed. As mama pets me, I lick her hand and give her fingers some light chewing. I like to chew her fingers, because her body temperature and the energy in her hand tells me a lot about how she is doing. As a dog it’s my duty to keep track of how she is doing, right?

So by being caressed and by drearily chewing and licking mamas hands, I slowly wake up. It’s not a bad way to start the day and prepare for all the adventures of the new day, and mama seems to like it too.

He loves it! Every time we come to a new place, he curiously walks around, back and forth sniffing everything. He loves meeting new people and new animals.

He is fast to notice when I’m packing a travel bag and follows my every move when I’m packing. I have traveled a few times without him, and he hates being left behind, so the moment I take out his flight travel-box, he happily waves his little tail in relief and gets in a much better mood. He understands that he is going somewhere and will sniff new smells and make new friends.

Here’s how I prepared him for traveling when I first started traveling with him.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]
