SO for our 1st trip in our new PUP lsat weekend, we decided to take Chloe with us. She is our 5 1/2 year old Dogue de Bordeaux (French Mastiff) as we are always leaving her with a dog sitter when we go away anywhere and I wanted to take her with us. She did not do well. She is skittish and scared of loud noises. Sat and Sun nite the wind really howled and she was FREAKING OUT, just like she does at home. I had to take her out of the trailer and put her in the back of my van on her bed. She did not get alot of sleep. She is an inside dog, so being outside all that time was not to her liking. She was filthy when we got home and she had a lot of redness and irritation on her tummy and backside from being on the ground. She also does not do well in the heat which is funny considering the first 3 years of her life she lived in the desert of California and in Vegas. Oh well, at least we tried. Now we know she is not cut out to be a camping dog.
