I went from influencer to endorser in one fell swoop. All in one day.
Charlotte just happens to be the manager at the Holiday Inn Expess in Deadwood South Dakota. She remembered me from our trip to Lander. She was so excited to see me, she asked whether I would star in an ad to show how pet friendly the Holiday Inn can be. Now I don’t believe in endorsing something that is not up to my standards. But Charlotte is just great and the Holiday Inns have been very accommodating during this trip m, so I didn’t mind.
We have been stopping at Loves during this trip because Richard really likes their beef jerky. (And I think it’s scrumptious). In order to make this ad work, it was necessary to approach the biker. Can you believe Indiana was too intimidated. Once I found out that the biker’s name was Ira I thought how intimidating could this possibly be. Ira was a marshmallow.
As for the Minnesota rest stops, they really are the best. they have a separate play area for us so there’s no need for a leash. I don’t leach Richard often, because I really don’t think it’s necessary. He doesn’t get out much. But he likes to keep it on for show. No need in Minnesota.
Now, we need to work on compensation. Richard wanted to start slowly, so he has us working for treats. I am more interested in $$$$
I may need your help when we get back

Duchess,
Your Uncle Steve gave us your link, and, and I have to say, you are a great travel writer! I can tell that you are doing the heavy lifting to keep this trip positive–not an easy task even given your extraordinary skills.
I’m pretty impressed that you go to the salon twice a month, and I’m wondering if you are able to get your coat groomed on the road. Don’t you find that an interruption to your beauty routine is disorienting?
Also, on the matter of car size…..come on, Richard!
Safe travels,
Ashlin
Good to hear from you Ashlin. Fortunately, grooming has not been an issue on this trip. Indiana has arranged for the groomer to meet us at Deadwood for a spa day. Expensive but I’m worth it. Besides, I have him almost talked into signing my Canine Trust agreement.
As to the mini, it could have been bigger.
Eagle…..
