My choices right now are : 1) leave her home with my adult sons (they are 21 & 24). They work all day, so she will be alone during the day. or 2) take her with me in the car. It is a long drive, but she normally loves car rides and is content as long as she is with me. I tease my husband and say she is permanently attached to my hip. My gut feeling is to take her. My husband disagrees. I would love your two cents. As far as rearranging this trip-it is not an option. (Going to go visit an elderly parent who has advanced Alzheimers...we just can't skip this trip). And for those who will ask: yes we planned this litter and yes, I'm prepared.

Thanks!
If she enjoys traveling she should do just fine. You also have to consider the environment she will be in during your visit. As long as it will be a quiet environment where she can be near you and not be undergoing a lot of stress she should be okay. It is very important the last week of her pregnancy to make sure she does not do a lot of unnecessary jumping. Just be careful that she does not jump getting in and out of the car also make sure she does not get over heated. I pray you have a safe trip.
