Motion Sickness

I think my dog, Jake, has motion sickness problems.

On Christmas Day, I went with my really cool sister and her family to the park. I decided to bring Jake along as well, as he really likes the park. When my fun nephew wanted to go down the slide, Jake started to follow him. So I went too. Jake didn't want to go down the slide by himself. He sat on my lap and we went down several times. After, Jake threw up all over the sidewalk. I didn't think much about it, as he threw up food my dad gave him (it was not a part of the gluten free/ dairy free protocol).

Today, I decided I wanted to go walk a different park than our usual. So Jake and I climbed into my car and drove to Freestone Park. Jake loved it there, and we walked around for awhile. Driving back, he didn't move much. He would either put his front paws on my console and just stare right at me really close, or sat in his seat very still. Right when we got to our front door, before going in, Jake threw up.

So perhaps Jake still has a lot of digestive problems, and we should stay away from slides, swings, and some car rides for awhile :)

Interesting... At least he did it before you got into the house!
