This year, I will have Holly so I don't think I can get away with this so easily. Have any of you traveled alone by car with two or more Yorkies in the summer? How do you handle potty stops, food, etc.? What do you do when you can't leave them in the car and they can't come with you (like to use the restroom)? Have any of you used a double pet carrier? http://www.pets-warehouse.com/Vpasp/...62&zmap=271176I was thinking of limiting my fluids the day of travel, and not getting on the road much before noon so I can take care of potty and food before I hit the road, and drive it in a straight shot. I'm so glad I got the stroller, it will be much easier to take them to crowded public places. I got a room with a kitchen, ground floor with a deck so it should be easy to take them outside to potty (even though they use pee pads). The hotel lets me leave them alone in the room as long as they are crated and quiet. Ha Ha. Quiet. Ha Ha. I figure that would be OK if I had to run out to the grocery store for a minute and it was hot outside so they could not go and stay in the car. I think I am overly paranoid about theft. I just won't leave my girls alone in the car unless they are in direct view, like when I stop in to get my mail. Any suggestions for traveling alone with multiple Yorkies would be appreciated! |
I just bought a carrier that both fit in. I would try to go potty with them. Hang the carrier on your shoulder and just walk in. No one is paying any attention to you. They see a carrier that looks like a duffle bag and they have no idea.
I have taken mine in the food store also. I needed a prescription and the vet and the food store are 1/2 hour away. I had Sadie with me after the vets and I took her in to fill it and get a few things. I put the tote in the cart and no one knew she was there. In an emergency you can do it for a few min.
