Mostly as long as they know they are with me or someone they know well, they are happy and content.

See, Jackson is actually okay with this kind of stuff too. We travel a lot together, he's always on the go with me and is up for ANY kind of adventure and has a blast. I dogsit for other people and often bring him with me, and he's pretty adaptable and will sleep, etc. And he loves being at my dads house even when I'm not there. We can go to bed at 8pm or 1am and he's fine with it, etc.

So I think it's just certain routines he doesn't like changed.

Teddy loves adventure, going places. However, he gets very nervous when I make changes in my routine or the house. He did not like my brother visiting, staying in the house.

Max also loves new experiences, as long as the essentials stay the same.

Coco goes crazy when something is different. Especially when furniture is moved. We redecorated my whole bedroom and man was she a spaz. My bed moved across the room and she would stand where the bed used to be and looked all confused! I would sit on my bed and call her but that wasn't enough to convince her. She thought it was a fake bed or something! She's fine now but geez sometimes I think we'll have to keep our house the same forever!
