I haven't had to leave Tucker yet. We've only traveled out of town once to my mom's since we've had him. I plan on taking him everywhere with us b/c there are so many pet friendly hotels. However, my husband and I go out of the country on vacation every year. We leave the skin kid with my mom and I'll be leaving the fur kid with his breeder. It would take a disaster for me to miss out on those vacations with hubby
