The magic word for Mitzi is "bye-bye". She loves to ride in the car and look out the window. Even when we moved across the whole country (CA to MD) she never got tired of it and was the first at the truck in the morning.
We take her whenever possible and go only to hotels which allow pets. We always have her expen with us and she knows she will be alone when we tell her "you have to stay and be good". When my husband leaves for work he has to tell her that too otherwise she is looking for him all day all around the house (I'm a stay-at-home-Yorkie-mom).
