This may be a really dumb question but we are thinking of taking our puppy with us when we go to my Mom's this summer. What do you guys do when you stop to eat at a restaurant. I understand that dogs are not allowed in most restaurants unless perhaps they have a patio. Do you just eat fast food? Is there any way of keeping a carrier cool while it is in the vehicle? We can usually see the vehicle from inside most restaurants but there is still the issue of the vehicle getting too hot inside. Thanks for any advice you might have.
