Sidekick

It seems like a good time to introduce my copilot, Timmy. He's logged 35,000 miles with me since we set out on our fifth wheeling adventure 2 years and one day ago. Much of it was from the shotgun seat beside me, with his long ears flapping in the wind. Timmy is just a bit of a nervous traveler, especially if the weather is so bad or cold that he can't have his head out in it. He's gotten better about it as the miles have rolled by.

Every so often you see folks posting questions in the forums about taking pets on the road. My experience with Timmy has been so good, that at least for dogs, my response would be "Do it!" I've seen RVers walking their cats from time to time, so that must work out too, at least for some. I couldn't imagine it myself.

If I don't identify Timmy as a Löwchen, I'll probably get lots of questions, so there you have it. It's German for Little Lion. If you want to know more about this wonderful breed, visit their AKC page: Löwchen.
