"Sheryl Jean loaded her two pups, Veronica and Picadilly, into her car and took a super ambitious road trip all the way from Saskatchewan, Canada, eastward through Manitoba, and then southward through the American heartland into the Florida panhandle to the coast of the Gulf of Mexico.  Then she drove north out of Florida and turned west, crossing the south and southwest to Los Angeles.  After splashing in the Pacific Ocean, she and the pups finally turned north to drive through the Rocky Mountain corridor, recrossing the Canadian border into Alberta and returning to her home in Prince Albert.  It was the Great Kahuna of doggy car travel odysseys! 

OK, that’s pretty fabulous as it is.  What she did while traveling was visit 24 friends she had met online through the online social networking community Dogster.com.  Everyone she visited had dogs, and the account of their travels heartwarmingly shows that people do represent themselves honestly through social networking sites and friendships made online are real, not virtual.  Furthermore, it documents the breadth and effectiveness of Dogster.com to bring people from diverse areas together through their love of dogs. 

When she got home, Sheryl wrote up the story of their adventures as a children’s story cum travel tips narrative, complete with maps and real and graphed photos.  She acknowledges and highlights the personalities of all the dogs Veronica and Piccadilly met, offers some tips about canine travel do’s and don’ts, comments on building dog relationships and graciously thanks all her wonderful hosts.  According to Sheryl, Veronica and Piccadilly returned to Canada wiser and more sociable than they had left- highlighting the fact that dogs thrive when taken on trips with their owners, rather than worry and wait when left at home.  What must they think about when they muse on their great adventure!?"

Our Road Trip Travel Tips

with Veronica & Piccadilly

* Launch Day is November 13, 2009.

 

My first self-published project is a 36 page children's book based on our two month road trip.

This is the story about two dogs that travelled by car, with their humans, from their hometown in Canada through 3 provincial borders and 20 U.S. state borders.

The pages are 8 1/2 x 7 and full of pictures of the dogs Veronica and Piccadilly met, things they needed for the trip and some common doggy behaviours.

 

It can be used to learn:

• geography of Canada and the United States.
• some of the things pets need while travelling.
• to recognize some common dog behaviours by story and picture.
• respect for our pets (they met some cats and one parrot along the way too).
• to read and/or have fun being read to.
