We have been trying to keep Gus on his typical Boston daily schedule. A longish walk in the morning with a breakfast offering (which he usually doesn't touch), a serious walk around 4pm EST, dinner around 7pm EST and a quick walk before bed time.
On top of this, whenever the humans stop for a bathroom break, he gets taken out for a stretch.
Gus can't be any better in the car. For safety, we have a seat belt attachment for his harness - so he's buckled in. This prevents him from wandering around the car, or jumping in the front seat while we're driving.
During the long driving stretches, he usually just lies down in his seat. Sometimes, he'll sit up and look out the window, but for the most part he just sleeps or rests in the car. Here are some pictures of Gus lying down (yes, he has his own car pillow):
What we have noticed, is that Gus doesn't like G forces. Whenever we cut lanes while traveling at a high rate, or make 90 degree turns on regular streets, Gus kind of groans/whines.
For the most part, he seems to be loving the road trip. He is spending a lot more time with Sandra and I than normal because we usually leave him at home for 6-8 hours when we go to work.
Wherever we go, be it Cleveland, Iowa City, Chicago, we have gotten many compliments about how cute he is....because well, he IS cute!
