We always go to my mothers house in Conroe its about a 6 1/2 hour drive. Last year we took Katy with us. She did fine, she loves to ride in the car and loves people and other dogs.
Let me start by saying I love my family. My problem is (hopefully no one from my family reads this) it opened the door for all of my family to bring their dogs to my house for Thanksgiving. Katy is small and very well behaved. She takes a bath regularly, so being on the carpet and the furniture is not a problem. That is not the case for all of the visiting dogs.
So, this year, Katy stayed at her day care, while we were away. Since, my family gets together a day or so before Christmas so that every one can make it to the family gathering. We were able to get home on Christmas eve, and pick Katy up to spend the night with her.
It was win/win. She spent time with her friends from day who were boarding for the weekend (they even spent the night together) and we made the jouney to my mothers house.
btw My Granddaugther was upset that she didn't get to go to Katys sleep over party. |
