Winston Goes to the Sea

Salt water, it turns out, tastes like betrayal. The seagulls feared him. He conquered exactly one (1) wave and then requested a towel and a quiet place to think.

Winston Goes Up a Mountain

Technically he was carried for the steep parts. He prefers the word "supervised."

Winston Goes for Coffee

He does not drink coffee. He is simply moral support and a very good boy at brunch.

Winston Goes to Grandma's

There is a sunbeam on this porch that is legally his. Treats arrive unprompted. Ten out of ten.

Winston Goes to the Vineyard

Rolling hills, a gentle breeze, and absolutely no grapes for him. He asked. Twice.

Winston Goes to the Market

So many ankles to greet. A man at stall twelve gave him a carrot. He is now the king.

Winston Goes Downtown

Big buildings, bigger pigeons. Everyone said hello on the way past. As they should.

08 — Field note

Winston Goes to the First Snow

Cold. Bewildering. Faintly insulting. He bit it once to be sure, declared it "fine," and would, for the record, bite it again.

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.
