Max's Mom ... that is soooo funny because I can see exactly what you are talking about!

Toto "stalks" me ... looks soooo sad until she realizes
she is going!! Then she gets her "happy paws" and zips around the whole time until I set her bag down ... open it up ... tell her "kennel up" and she amazes us every time she jumps up in the air and lands
in the bag
butt first!!

If she finds out early in the packing that she is going somewhere she keeps either getting in our suitcases or dragging underwear out!!
I was always so nervous when we finally began to take Toto out in crowds! First trip out ... PetSmart ... people absolutely
converged on us when they saw her!

Patrick [who loves the "divide & conquer" method] said "I'll grab the things we need, you get her to the car, quick!"

It took us quite a while to take her out again!
I'll bet that Lincoln pulling the little Casita
was quite a sight!!

We pull ours with Patrick's Chevy Silverado [white] ... I sometimes follow him in my Mustang convertible [white] ... if I get too claustrofobic The Toto and I just come home early!!
