Carsick dogs and frivolous spending

I'm sad because I went back to the store where I got those awesome donut peaches that I blogged about, and THEY DIDN'T HAVE ANYMORE. :-( I got some regular white peaches/nectarines but it's just not the same. I'll go to another store for more of the donut variety, but I doubt they'll be as big or beautiful. /sad I'll probably spend the rest of my days trying to find donut peaches like that again.

Does anyone else have a dog who gets carsick? Talis used to be very bad about it; threw up nearly every time he got in a car. Reading up about it, it seems that dogs rarely have motion sickness, but rather suffer from anxiety. So I'd take him out every time it was feasible, in order to get him used to it. And he got a lot better and the times he threw up decreased dramatically. In fact, he LOVES going TO the car and the idea of being in it -- he races to the garage door every time I pick up my keys, then hops around the car until I open the door and he eagerly jumps inside -- but he's not so crazy about the driving part (unless I roll his window down). But I bring a towel with me to lay on his seat every time I take him in the car, because he still pukes from time to time. Today was such a day; he seemed perfectly fine and then on our way home, threw up (thank goodness for the towel). Surely he can't be anxious anymore, so is he one of those rare dogs who actually DO get motion sick?! Sigh.
