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'm looking forward (not) to this fall when we go to Maine for a couple weeks and bring our very large black lab / chow mix along. He's 100 pounds and quite large, looks wicked mean but in reality is a big baby, very mannerly, obedient and housebroken and loves kids...
I guess boarding is an alternative which we may do but prefer not too and we have a truck camper so at night it would be like 3 peas in a pod..
Been down the boarding route before. One it's expensive, two, it's hard on any dog because of the absence of their owner, three it's hard on the owner(s), especially if they are as attached to the dog as we are and fourth, the dog might get sick or go off feed. Dog's especially are used to a schedule that will get disrupted with boarding and when you board, the dog must be vaccinated for kennel cough.
So no, we aren't looking forward to boarding but bringing along the big black dog will have some interesting aspects....
Will be an adventure for sure.
