Best Tips For Safe Pet Travel

 Sponsored by Lexus.

Meet Doe, our new Rat Terrier puppy that we just adopted from San Diego!  Doe is a 14 week old female pup that is cute as a button, but fiesty as a whip.

My husband and I owned two Rat Terriers before named Jumper and Tinker.  Tinker was the first dog to be featured as “Field Trip Dog” on SoCalFieldTrips.com.  We loved Tinker’s personality so much, that we wanted to adopt another Rat Terrier when were able.  So now, the new dog journey begins with Doe!  

Doe is a very high energy puppy who loves to soak up the outdoors and enjoys walking, jogging and playing ball for hours on end.  She doesn’t hesitate to tell us what she’s thinking either.  She makes all sorts of funny noises when she wants our attention or is chasing after one of the kids.  

We also quickly discovered that Doe doesn’t like household chores, and would rather chase after the broom, than help pick up the leaves.  Oh, my!  We definitely have our hands full, but we can’t resist her sweet looking face!
