Roadside Encounters: Gracie and Chloe
Names: Gracie and Chloe
Age: 4 years old
Breed: Golden retrievers
Encountered: Along the Silas Creek Trail in Winston-Salem, N.C.
Backstory: Recent transplants from Florida, Gracie and Chloe are getting accustomed to Winston-Salem. They’re shown here walking with their owner, Terry. When he and his wife went to look at them and the rest of the litter, they disagreed on which one they wanted. He liked one of the lighter colored ones, while his wife preferred the darker.
And that’s why Terry walks two dogs.
(Roadside Encounters, a regular feature of Travels with Ace, is a look at some of the dogs and people we met during our year traveling across America. To see them all, click here.)

I have a rather similar story that relates to the fact that I now own two Shih Tzu boys. Or actually, they own me.
Nearly 2 ½ years ago, I decided that it’s time to adopt a new dog because my previous terrier passed away about 5 years prior to then. So, I went through a local rescue and spotted a dog which I really liked. However, when I was petting him, another dog attracted my attention.
I was desperately trying to make up my mind as to which of the two I liked best but couldn’t. So, I ended up getting the both of them.
