 How does your Yorkie travel????
Hi all,
I have to say that our first lengthy outing (6 hour roadtrip!) with Natalie yesterday was ALMOST a complete success!! I was a wee bit anxious about the whole thing and how she'd handle it (still being syringe fed every 3 hours and never having been on a car ride longer than an hour or so) - but all went well and she seemed to enjoy the day overall.
As you can see from the photo below, our "travel safety measures" are not up to par.... she switches off throughout the trip from my lap to her other mama's shoulder. Not a safe way to ride, I know.... but while she's a very good girl at home - never makes a peep when in her cradle/bassinet or playpen... she HATES her little pink travel kennel and will tolerate her purse only if we are up and walking around.
I've looked at a few car seats for pets online - but none seem to be very accomodating to Natalie's small size. And the ones where she'd have to be "hooked" in by a collar or harness just wouldn't work at this point.
Because of her size, we have to use a ferret harness for her - and I have yet to find a comfortable collar small enough. (though I find if I check the kitten sections of particular shops, we're getting very close). Either way, nothing is really small enough to safely secure her with those car seats.
So, I'm curious.... what type of safety measures do you all put in place when going on the road with your babies? |
