We live in "Steinbeck country" (Salinas Valley/Monterey County), named after the famous author John Steinbeck. And just as Steinbeck documented his journeys with his beloved dog in "Travels with Charlie", I'm going to photojournal in this thread my "Travels with Melody".
A lot has changed in Salinas since the days of Steinbeck. But some things haven't changed that much. Today we visited the childhood home of Steinbeck, which has been restored to its original beauty.
Down the street from the Steinbeck House is the Steinbeck Public Library, with a bronze statue of the author at the front entrance. I don't think Melody's ever seen a statue before. At first she was puzzled that he didn't greet her - or even flinch one little bit.
Then she surprised me and became downright ornery!
So I took her back to to dog training school for some proper obedience training. Of course, she passed with flying colors.

The little white one is my usual fitbit buddy but the big boys are my back up dogs for when the other one gets tired!

We've done a lot of training with them but when you have all 3 and a camera they get excited. Training is a never ending process so my boyfriend and I are always working on it - the moment you stop they get the upper hand, and hey outnumber us so we can't afford that!
The two big ones are fairly low energy so that helps - walk them more than a mile and you risk having to carry them home 😉

I love reading this thread. Each dog is beautiful and some of them are bigger than others

This is Louie! Since we moved from the city to the country we both have gotten in the habit of not going for walks since he can roam the yard as he wants without a leash (he was an apartment dog before where we'd go for at least 2 walks a day). But...since we've got a fit bit we've been walking daily again. I think he gets more excited to be asked to go for a walk now than he does if you ask him if he wants to go for a ride in the car. 🙂

Went hiking with our favorite fitbitting buddies this weekend 🙂 we found a spare too since we had an empty seat in the puppy bus! Spotted one (their cousin, Rudy) wouldn't get in the woodsy glamor shot.

Lovely pictures @paperfox! The first thing that came up to my mind was, is this the A-Team?

Paperfox, I love your post. It's great that you could bring the whole family! I think you may be on to something with your "puppy bus". I'm sure my Melody wishes she could have gone too. Maybe you you could team up with "Greyhound" and start a business.
