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.
