We took our Missy on a two week vacation this past summer and it went perfectly. We had never traveled with a dog before and didn't know exactly what we would encounter, but there were no problems. Hotels were very accepting and reasonable in their extra charges...usually $10. Many of the shops we were at had no problem with her accompanying us. I took along a "dog purse," but didn't need to use it. She was welcomed on leash. She was pleasantly greeted everywhere we went and was the beginning of many conversations.
I take her with me on any small trips that are feasible and she loves to ride in the car.
If I had to leave her behind, I would choose a friend before boarding her because of bad experiences with fleas and other illnesses that can be shared.
Mostly, we love having her with us! |
