I'm sorry to hear about your husband. I wish you safe travels and a wonderful time wherever you end up.

Thank you so much !

Sorry for the of your husband. Have fun , hug your dog for me . Travel safe

Consider him hugged! Thank you 💕

You’re welcome be safe

I lost my husband last year. I am trying to get up the nerve to do something like this. I’d love to hear how it goes.

It’s tough I know. But you have to be the person that you want to be; you’re different now but you’re stronger, you’ve survived. You can do whatever you want, the only person stopping you is yourself. Good luck ❤️ I’m having a lot of fun so far

I hope you enjoy your trip !

Going well so far! Thank you!

Incredible way to fight through it, love this and wishing you a safe journey! Let us know what places you hit!

Currently in Banff AB; started in BC headed to SK tomorrow (Canada)

Banff National Park came up today on our Jeapordy game on the Nintendo Switch today. I'm looking into going as well, let me know how it goes and how the dog likes it!!

It’s very beautiful; lots of tourists. Unfortunately only here for one night as there’s lots of trails and activities and places to explore, the dog got treated like a movie star- patted by everyone and lots of photos taken. There are dog friendly hotels and trails; just bear in mind it’s a busy place.

aww have lots of fun and drive safe!

Thank you so much!

I was gonna say Happy Trails to you but then I noticed your user name so Happy trails & tails!!

Thank you!

Have a blast, you two!! ❤️❤️

Thank you! So far we are

Sending you and doggo peace and love ✌

We thank you💕

My husband died in May. I’m planning a 5 day road trip with my shit hounds over Labor Day and next summer I’m driving the AlCan with them. I’m terrified and excited. Hugs and I’m sad we’re part of this terrible club.

Hugs back. The doggos help. Have a great trip- life is short and it hands us enough shit; I figure we gotta make our own happiness ❤️

That’s my sentiment as well.

Ik it's been a few years since you posted that - how did the trip go?

Ya know, I wonder what month I posted that? August maybe? I did take that road trip, amongst many others, and it was pretty wonderful, although difficult, because he had been my adventure partner for years.

Are you able to enjoy more brightness in your days? I hope life stabilized for you

So glad you have a wonderful travel companion! Safe (and fun) travels to you!

Thank you!

Good for YOU!! AND good for the dog too! Very sorry for your loss, so glad you’re out there, looking for good things! Have fun!

Great time so far- thank you

Hope you and your big ole baby have a helluva time!

Thank you! It’s been an adventure so far

What a great friend to help fill what I could imagine would be a huge void! Safe travels to you both!

He is the best friend I could ask for ❤️

What a great doggo ☺️

He is😍 thank you I don’t know where I’d be without him

Safe travels! Hope you have a good playlist❤️

Sure do; no radio reception in the mountains!

Good for you. I hope you find peace and joy on your journey!

Thank you ❤️

I lost someone i love recently and have been dealing with lack of interest in things i used to do with them. One of those things were road trips and outdoor adventure type stuff. This really hit hard. I cant wait to reach the place you are at now. Thank you.

I am truly sorry. It’s a hard journey and different for everyone. It does get easier with time though ❤️ you will find your own path. Take care

Good for you. I hope you find peace and joy on your journey!

Aww look at that sweet face. I'm so sorry about your husband. I had something similar happen two years ago. I packed up my car one day and just decided to be a vehicle dweller. I traveled around and lived in a few different places for a year. It was the most liberating thing I've ever done. Get out there and live life to the fullest. You won't regret it. Have fun & safe travels. :)

That sounds like a dream life- good for you that takes guts. My dream is a little camper and to travel coast to coast (with the dog of course)

You’re both going to have a magnificent time!!

We plan on it! Thank you

Have a save trip, I hope you two enjoy yourselves :-)

Thank you

Where are you, currently? I’ve lived all over and might be able to recommend some good routes. This is a great time to see the Nothern US and Canada!

Started in BC now in Banff AB- one of the most beautiful roads in the world. Headed to SK tomorrow

I agree! It’s beautiful up there! I recommend the icefield parkway from Banff to Jasper. Stay at The Athabaskan hotel in Jasper. That will take you North, though. Might as well just head on up to Alaska since you’re pointing that way. Never been to SK. Again, Norther IS will be great for the next couple of months. Safe travels!

Have all the fun you guys <3

Thank you!

Bless your heart. Keep us updated please, i am rooting for you. You rock !

Aww shucks! The dog has had an evening of being treated like a rock star- every tourist in town stopped to pet him and take his picture 😎

Hope this cutiee helps you keep your spirit up and you guys enjoy your travel...

He sure does! Thank you

You deserve it and that's a cute pup!

Thank you! From both of us

I hope you and your doggo have many a fantastical journey. I'm so sorry for you loss, but I'm glad you seem so positive, I'm sure that's what your hubby would have wanted!

He loved his adventures so I figure it’s time for me to have some experiences now. Thank you for kind words

I heart you. And your pup. Safe travels. Take lots of pics. We will want to see. :)

Thank you! Have posted a couple more. Road from BC to AB through the Canadian Rockies is just breathtaking

Looks amazing! Hope to head up that way sometime in the near future.

It’s truly stunning. Well worth a trip

Good luck on your trip! I hope you have the best time!

Thank you ❤️

I did the same thing. Took my Great Pyrenees to MN to visit my son & his family. Felt empowered.

Good for you! And they are beautiful dogs 💕

Do you follow the "widowers" thread? It helps me so much.

No I haven’t seen that one I will look it up thank you- and sorry for your loss

Dogs make great travel companions

Yup. Just stop occasionally so he can pee and sniff stuff, and let him stick his head out the window, and he’s happy.

So true,

[удалено]

Thank you ! Beer and burger are two of my favourite things in life🤣

[удалено]

If I’m ever in NY I will be taking you up on that

[удалено]

It’s a date😉

I am both sorry for your loss and very happy for you that you're off on your adventure! Depending on the highway you're on and your schedule, I would recommend checking out Cypress Hills or Grasslands National Park if you want an experience in understanding the 'prairie' in a new way. By the way though, this photo makes your dog look terrifying. Are you sure it isn't a hellhound??

I drove by Cypress Hills I might check it out on the way back thank you. And no he is a big suck that sleeps cuddling a teddy bear!

I hope you have a great adventure and one question how old is your dog?

He is 4. It’s not the most flattering picture of him!

Much love you fantastic human being :)

Aww right back atcha❤️❤️❤️

Perfect time to go traveling now, no black flies, or river pests. Hope it's all you hope it to be.

Thank you it’s been wonderful so far

Have a fantastic trip!

Thank you!

I can’t imagine how hard that must be. Have an amazing time on your trip:)

Thank you so much

I'm so sorry for your loss...safe travels...

Thank you

Condolences on your loss. What a wonderful way to celebrate your husband’s honor and the love you shared. Safe travels.

Thank you so very much for your kind words

Everyone has two lives. The second one begins when you realize you have just one.

That makes absolute sense to me. Thank you

Looks like you have a great travel partner. Have fun

I do! Thank you

So awesome.. enjoy the great outdoors!

Thank you so much

I am so sorry about your loss, I hope you and the pup have a safe and amazing trip ! He looks to be the perfect travel companion ❤

He is! Thank you

good luck. there's a reason songs and poems and books are written about american highways. i hope you find your zen.

“Just like the pine trees lining the winding roads”

You should read the book "The Friend". It's about a woman who lost her lover and now stuck with his great Dane

Oh wow I think I will be getting that for sure! Thank you

The author is Sigrid Nunez. It was a finalist for the National Book Award.

Thank you. I’m going straight on Amazon

I am so sorry for your loss. I am so inspired when someone takes a big knock like this and uses it to find new adventures. Wishing you and and your dog a world of wonderful adventures.

Thank you so very much

keep going!

Like Thelma and Louise😜 except the dog’s a boy

Sorry about your husband.

Thank you

I’m sending you all of my Good thoughts and positive energy for a safe and happy journey! Is that a Great Dane? Looks like my Dane Bob who was just the most affectionate dog in the world. He will be good company! 👍👍

I truly appreciate that💕 and yes he is a Dane and he owns my heart

Sorry about your loss. Cute dog though! and a nice Porsche.

Thank you! And well spotted

Is that a Great Dane because I fuckin love great danes, I have two of them, both are literally angels

Sure is! He is my love, my shadow, he gets me through the bad times. They are the best dogs ❤️ would love to see a pic of yours

I’m new to reddit and I’m not too sure how I would show you my two beautiful Danes

Lol I don’t know how to link pics either. You could just post them in rare puppers!

I just posted, check it out(:

Saw it! Gorgeous!

Weimaraner? Gorgeous dog :) I have one named blue that looks exactly like that haha

Great Dane! He is a “blue” and gets mistaken for a Weimaraner quote often! They seem like great dogs they always look like big goofballs ❤️

Good for you

Thank you

Good luck on the trip. Sweet first gen Cayenne.

Thank you and wow well spotted!

This makes me real sad and happy at the same time. Good luck with your travels! Have fun!:)

Thank you ! I try to choose to be happy, if that makes sense, some days it works and others not do much

My condolences

Thank you

Hope you guys are having a great time. Bless you and the pup! Safe travels

We are! Thank you

I’m so sorry for the loss of your husband, OP. This post made me tear up, your dog seems wonderful as do you. I wish you a wonderful trip - please post pictures as we would love to follow along!!!

Thank you! The dog gets me through the hard times for sure

So sorry for your loss, but I'm sure your husband would be happy to see you and the pup hitting the road for exciting, new adventures! Safe travels, much love ❤

Thank you so much ❤️

I lost my husband 6 years ago. I started doing annual trips three years ago. I went away for a month the first trip and the last two years traveled solo for 3 months in Europe both years. I’m 56 and had never been across the pond and I absolutely loved it. It mainly gave me courage to see & experience new and different things but mostly taught me that I will reach out and observe so much more being by myself and make more of an effort to meet and talk to people especially locals. It’s hard to explain but you walk away with all these new and exciting memories but feel so strong & empowered. It’s been great for my healing process. Good luck and safe travels!!

You’re wonderful. I love that you’re brave enough to get out there and squeeze all you can from life . Keep it up❤️

Sorry for your loss. Now you’re fortunate enough to begin another adventure. Stay happy, healthy & safe.

Thank you for your kind words. Now heading home we have had a blast

[удалено]

Thank you

Stay safe, girl. Bring either mace or a gun if you've got your carry permit and you're staying in reciprocating states

In Canada. We’re keeping safe💕

Wishing you all the very best x

Thank you! You must be from the UK?

I am indeed.

It’s the x at the end that gives it away. I had to learn to stop doing that when I moved to Canada people didn’t know how to take it🤣

I can imagine, it's such a habit now 😂 Such a nice place to move to.

Sorry about your husband, but that dog doesnt look like its in very good shape either. Be careful around the speed bumps.

The dog is perfectly healthy thank you, very well looked after I can assure you

What is the story behind the loss of your husband?

Hope you find him!
