For all you Dog Lovers

Road Dog on Caffeine Pills


I was tired, broke down in Ohio for six hours but still had to make that 8:00 am appointment in Woburn, Mass. I drank coffee, which makes me pee every five miles so I switch to caffeine pills without the bladder side affect.

It was two in the morning and my Jack Russell Terrier, Lug Nut quietly chewed on something on the floor. I reached for my flashlight and turned it on, the light illuminating the eaten caffeine pills. I thought oh no, if it doesn't kill him, it will amp him out for hours.

Well it didn't kill him but if you ever experienced a high energy Jack Russell Terrier on caffeine pills it is something you will never forget. I thought the cab was small before Lug Nut decided to turn it into a racing track. His laps were controlled and precise never missing a beat. The sleeper was the starting and ending point with every inch in between. My trash can become open game and everything in it became shredded and laid in a big heap on the floor. It was dark but I could see his small white body in constant motion here, there, and everywhere, never stopping.

Luckily, we stayed up together; he kept me awake with his constant movement and my constant yelling, LUGNUT! I drove all night to get there and no sleep for 26 hours. All I remember is wading through the shredded trash filled floor to the sleeper with Lug Nut close on my heels. We crashed together both of us drained from the experience.


I truly believe they are (wo)man's best friend!!!
