...and here's our doggie train carriage pulling out of Santa Cruz!
Emma came to me hand shy (evidence of being hit in the past) and not too trusting of new situations and people. Solution? Get her out and about meeting nice people and experiencing all sorts of adventures. Since I take my own dog, Brogan, everywhere, bringing Emma along is a breeze. Her second week with us, I signed us all up for a train ride from Santa Cruz boardwalk up into the redwoods on an old open car train. The trip was organized by Santa Cruz dog social group Woofers and Walkers and included about sixty people and over seventy dogs! Most dogs were LARGE, but as Emma thinks she is GIANT, this posed no problem. We sat next to a handsome pitbull boy who proved quite smitten with our girl, but after an initial telling off (Emma to pit) everyone settled in for the ride. By the trip back down the hill she was (safely) hanging over the side, happily gazing down at her adoring public from the height of the train carriage. Brogan, more accustomed to such adventures, had a nice nap on the way back down. Thanks to Whitney Wilde, organizer extraordinaire of Woofers and Walkers for arranging for such a great day!
And finally after a hard day riding the rails, Brogan and Emma demonstrate the proper use of doggie seat belts as we get ready to head back over the hill to San Jose. Good dogs!
