The ongoing travel diary of a very important French Bulldog

Winston goes to the sea

A small dog with a big itinerary, photographed wherever the snacks are.

Nine adventures and counting. Most of them ended in a nap.

A small record of the places a very loved dog has been.

Winston Goes Up a Mountain

Technically he was carried for the steep parts. He prefers the word "supervised." The summit air was thin. He breathed it like a general.

Winston Goes Skateboarding

He did not ride the board. He sat beside it and looked tough. The kids nearby had to wait. He took his time. The board respected him.

Winston Gets on the Couch

The couch was unoccupied. He moved fast. The couch is his now. It has always been his couch. He'll hear no further discussion on the matter.

Winston Picks Out a Ball

The selection process was rigorous. He evaluated nine. He chose this one. The other eight were dismissed without comment. Perfect ball. No regrets.

Winston Goes for a Drive

The window was cracked exactly right. He tracked every passing tree with his eyes. His ears were enormous in the wind. He was watching the road to make sure they stayed on it.

Winston Goes Swimming

Turns out water moves, which he did not expect. He stood in it for the photograph and then relocated immediately to the dry part with full dignity intact.

Winston Loads Up

Every great adventure begins with the car. He stood by it and surveyed the situation from outside before committing. Calculated. Strategic. Ready.

09 — Field note

Winston Goes on an Airplane

A very small carrier bag. A very large adventure. He was calm the whole time. Probably because everyone kept giving him treats. He is not above this.

About the management

Meet Winston

He is a French Bulldog of strong opinions and short legs, and he runs this operation.

Winston believes the world is best experienced from a warm lap with a clear view of the snack situation. He snores at a volume that has been described as "structural." He has never met a sunbeam he didn't immediately claim, nor a stranger he didn't try to befriend. His hobbies include sighing, being carried, and arriving.

This gallery is his travel diary — a small record of the places a very loved dog has been, kept by the people lucky enough to take him there.
