A couple of years ago Jess made perhaps the most important decision of her life to start a lifechanging aroundtheworld journey with her German Shepherd dog Moxie
While this impulse made her blood rush like never before Jess couldnt have been happier However she didnt realize that the journey would involve many ups and downs from that moment on

Alongside her husband Greg her best furry bud Jess crossed thousands of miles on a multiyear adventure called GoRUFFLY The three explored different continents and shared many exciting road trip stories with their followers until tragedy struck
On their way through California in Baja they noticed Moxie limping on one leg After a vet checkup she was subjected to routine surgery but tragically responded negatively to antiinflammatory medication which resulted in her crossing the rainbow bridge
Jessicas world crumbled making it hard to continue her life adventure without her best friend

To say that Whimsy was a good girl from the beginning is definitely an understatement Not only did she love the idea of riding a motorcycle but she learned how to do it in record time
Jess used treats to teach her how to sit extend her tail and be still to avoid hurting herself and Whimsy embraced it as if she had ridden the bike forever
Plus her adventurous spirit makes everything easier Whimsy is naturally a happygolucky dog and loves exploring new things

So far she and her new family have ridden thousands of miles together
Whimsy enjoys being out and about and smelling and seeing new things Weve now ridden probably 40000 kilometers together Jessica told GeoBeats Animals
Before every ride Jess makes sure Whimsy is harnessed especially when shes riding in the front Additionally she wears supercute pink goggles to protect her eyes from the wind And whenever they visit any place shes the first one to be spotted
Theres just something hauntingly cute about seeing a dog on a motorbike and Jess knows it Thanks to Whimsy she and Greg have made lots of friends all over the world And Whimsy has had endless fun thats for sure

For Whimsy the best thing about traveling the world is probably all those nights camping That way she gets to preserve all her freedom while being next to her mom and dad
Shes truly happy living the life she has and her pawrents couldnt be more grateful for having her around
With Whimsy around everything is much more beautiful and full of meaning
