dogs in national park campgrounds
Dear All, I have not been active in the forums for some years, but a recent experience brings me back to the pet forum. We just finished a 2 week trip through some Arizona, Colorado and Utah nation...

Ahhh, thank you DogFolks! :)
I guess I never realized what hell dog ownership and the dogs went through. In all our years, our dogs have been quiet happy and content. Guess we have deluded ourselves, and I started something I did not expect.
Please explain. I'm puzzled that you asked for advice/comments but somehow are surprised at the results. Opinions vary. I'm a dog lover but also a realist. You have to expect not everyone is going to agree with you. My dogs don't travel with us at the moment because we don't have a camper of any sort. I can assure you that whether or not we take them is secondary to their day-to-day treatment.
I love dogs. Have had some great dogs, sweet as sugar. I loved every one of them too much to take camping, and lock up in a RV. That's just mean.
A bit harsh, but I get your drift. Ours do get locked up at home-all of us work and on weekends we have to balance our own sanity with theirs. But with differing schedules they get ample time outside. That's not always going to be the case when we travel as for us the campground is a place to sleep, not a destination.
