| Traveling???? Hi Everyone! Where all do you travel with your dogs? Has anyone ever traveled overseas or to another country with their dogs? Is it a pain? What all has to be done to take your dogs with you to places like that? Any advice at all, or just fun places that your dogs take you would be great. Thanks for reading, I look forward to hearing your replies! Shanna |

| Our dogs love riding in the car! And they love going camping with us. Our Ol' Doodle Dog, Pogo, has been my tent camping buddy for years. He makes a GREAT heater under the covers when it's cold! And now that we have our small camper, he still sleeps at the bottom of my bed. Higgins sleeps with his "dad", of course, and bops right across the camper table and into my bed to lick my face awake in the morning. If we are camping where there are no other campers, as we were for several days this week, we let them run around the campsite. Otherwise, they are on a leash, but don't seem to mind too much. We often go into Canada when we are camping, so I keep copies of all their health records in a little plastic billfold in the glove compartment. Most state parks want proof of rabies and Canada wants a health record, as well. Haven't taken dogs abroad -- I know it's a problem taking them to England where they must be quarantined. Not sure of other countries restrictions. My niece went around the world for 2 years and adopted a stray puppy in Cambodia. She brought it home with here to the US. I don't know all the ins and outs, but my brother said that it is now the world's most expensive dog! I think well traveled dogs are better socialized. That's one reason we got Higgins while we were camped in Florida this winter. He had the opportunity to be around LOTS of people and LOTS of dogs. And Yorkies are pretty easy to take with ya! |

| Yoda's gone as far as Canada with us. We'd love to take him to Hawaii, but they have a ridiculous 6 months quarantine or something for dogs to enter. For Canada, you just need proof from a doctor that he's had his shots within a certain period of time. Funny thing is, the border people didn't even care when we took him across the border and didn't ask for any of his papers. They just seemed to want to harass me! |

| Your dog must stay in their facility for a period of time, usually ranging from 2 weeks to 6 months, even more. Quarantine is NOT for MY Yorkie! |

| Yup, I can't see ANY Yorkie owner letting their Yorkies be quarantined, unless they absolutely had to move to that new place! |

| Thanks! That is ridiculous!!!!!!!! I would never do that. The reason that I was asking is because I was considering traveling abroad for a semester to finish my Italian major. My mother is willing to keep my pets, but I might have to stay here and finish it in a longer amount of time because I don't think that I can stand to be away from them for 4 whole months. |

| If "The Toto" can't go .... neither are we!! Sorry, but when we got Toto it just put a whole new light on "Love me, Love my dog"!! We have eaten out practically every single day since I have known my husband ... now, on those very rare occasions that we go out, we are absolutely miserable!! If the food doesn't come fast enough where I can gobble & go ... I'm furious!! Were we really those people who enjoyed an occasional really expensive restaurant?? Now we can take that few hundred bucks for that nice meal and all that wine and go to PetSmart, PetCo, etc. and buy neat things for the baby, Toto!!! We weren't having fun before .... we just thought we were!!!

| I agree with you. I don't have my baby girl yet, but I have one other dog and a cat, and I was talking to my mom and laughing that I was using all of the money I was making to buy cute things for my babies. Where does my holiday money go.... To my "kids" it's funny how much getting an animal that we love changes our loves (for the better I might add). Thanks for sharing!
