Traveling with a pet
This is the first year we will be traveling with our Basset Hound along. She can't stay home alone. What do you do with a pet when you go out to eat, want to see things that take a couple of hours ...

I don't take my dog camping. She is almost 9, a black lab. She's used to being at home, going out in the backyard to do her 'business' and our daily routine. She's only on a leash when I take her to the vet. Two years ago I rented a space at a resort for a month, and took her up for 4 days. Campground rules required that all dogs be tied up or on a leash at all times (except when swimming in the lake). Stormy wasn't used to being on a long chain. She wasn't used to being walked down to a field to go to the bathroom. In 4 days she refused to poop! So now I leave her at home, where she's happy and contented. My adult kids stop by the house to feed her, give her a bit of attention, and let her out (they live down the street). She's happy and I don't have to worry about her.
