| Lily did the exact same thing! I always put her in her crate when we traveled and she would always throw up or poop (or both). One day, I "forgot" to bring the crate and just let her run around the car like Tristan does. She wasn't sure what to do at first so she just sat in my lap. After she saw Tristan running around and sticking his face out the window, she wanted to do that too! Now she never throws up or poops & she looks forward to going out.

| We are also blessed, Nana911. Our Toto is a wonderful little traveler! When we bought her at 16 weeks we brought her home, stayed a few days and left on a trip of about 2500 miles and she loved it! She doesn't care whether it's a car, truck, motorhome or plane ... she is happy! She quickly adapts to any situation and as long as she is near us, anywhere is fine with her.

| I have one that LOVES to ride. But poor Max gets sick...unless I put on his life vest then he knows it's boating time! Just wish I could do that all the time I took him out but don't think that would be a good idea. He would be heart broken if he didn't go boating.

| The minute you says lets go for a ride, Pixie is at the door jumping up and down to make sure that you take her along. The longest ride she has had is 3 hours and she did very well. Pixie is a great traveler in the car.

| Both my girls travel well in the car. we have a car seat and we buckle them in and they are great. I have only flown once with Pixie bc she can go in the cabin with me and she did alright. I won't fly with Daisy bc of the weight restrictions and she would have to go with baggage and I would NEVER do that to her.

| Zoe loves the car as long as you hold her in your lap put her in a carrier and it's vomit city. Zach doesn't like the car at all and he usually gets car sick. Oliver is just a baby and he's only been in the car twice both times he did okay. Now my two bassets are another story. When we first got them they wouldn't get into the car and we had to carry thim in 25 lbs each. Now they tolerate the car I'm not sure if they like it or not but at least we don't have to carry them anymore they are both 55 lbs each. |

| Veruca is (1 year, 4 lbs) a wonderful traveler. We are super super lucky! When you even pick up her around town bag - she jumps up and tries to hop into the top of it... She sleeps in her bag in the car if she is by herself or sticks her paws on the edge and her head out the convertible (if she's in her harness and someone is in the passenger seat holding her). On an airplane, she sleeps the entire flight without a peep (she has flown 9 times now). I give her some Nutrical on takeoff and touchdown to "pop" her ears. Plus the TSA are always nicer when we travel with Veruca. She likes to go to new places and she LOVES her carriers, they're her safe spaces when we go places. |

| Gilmore will throw up every single time we are in the car if the ride is longer than 5 minutes. It doesn't matter if he is in his crate or on my lap. Skittles doesn't puke but will shake and cry the entire time. Needless to say we never take them in the car unless we have to. |

| Jackson's a pretty good traveler. He gets nervous at first when we first get in the car now because we got into an accident where my car was totaled a few months back. Ever since, he's very cautious about getting into a car. But after a few minutes, he settles down into seat and enjoys it. He's a great traveler in a sense that he loves to explore new places and see new things... I dogsit a lot so he always goes with me when I sleep at others homes and loves it! He's gone on vacation with me a few times too and highly enjoys it.

| Levi is a wonderful traveler. He is well-behaved in the car, stays in his car seat and looks out the window or takes a nap. He gets so excited when he realizes we are going on a car ride. . He loves going new places and has never really seemed disturbed if we spend the night somewhere new. The only problem I have ever run into is hesitance eating in new places, but he seems to have outgrown that. I haven't flown with him yet, but am exploring the possibility. I am a little nervous that he would cry/whine/bark the whole plane ride in a carrier...but I guess I won't know until we give it a try! |

| Pixie has no car problems, but Bruno throws up every time, that’s why he is scared whenever we have to go somewhere. But last Saturday we discovered something amazing: my husband was holding Bruno in his arms, but he was so agitated so he left him on the floor, at his feet, on a blanket. And for the first time Bruno slept in the car and didn’t throw up. Now we know next time we will get him in the car will be at our feet on a blanket J

| Rosie is a great traveler. We never have any problems with her. She has gone on very long trips with us and does fine. Usually, she sleeps most of the way.

| Baby Bear loves riding in the car, in fact he will jump in the front seat by himself if you even open the car door in the garage. The longest we drove with him is about 250 miles, and he slept most of the time. |

| Mine do not mind traveling in the car as long as they can see me and lick my hand some. My little girl did get car sick bad everytime we were in the car for any amount of time. She seems to have outgrown it and I could not be happier. I wanted to be able to take her places but felt bad because she got so ill. Now she just sits back and relaxes.
