Putting furbaby in a bag when it is July or Aug is just tooooo hot. We do not go in restaurants while on the road. We stop and eat in the trailer or my DH will go in a fast food place and we will eat in the truck. Im not shy at all when someone with a big dog says "my dog doesn't bite". I just tell them politely "You are confident of that but I am no, please rane your dog in". Ive been attacked when holding a small dog and I have NO problem putting a big dog that is charging to the ground. Be ever on the watch for large dogs,especially ones not on a leash. Be sure to take shot records and your vets number with you.
Also NOONE pets my dog without my permission. This is another reason that she will be riding in the stroller. If you can freeze water bottles and put them in the stroller to keep baby cool or even double two ziplocks with ice. |
You are really experienced at traveling with little dogs. I would think the stroller would be a good idea for when the pavement or sidewalks are too hot for their little paws, too. I always pick up Gracie as soon as I see another dog or small children. They can both be quite dangerous to a little dog. Taking a playpen is a great idea but your mention of the stroller really made me think of how hot the ground can get for their feet. Extra water is a must as well and the stroller may be a help in carrying the water. Another item added to my list.
