Check out this post for the car seat. You won't find it any cheaper anywhere.

Jill rides in her lookout carseat that secures to the back seat. They wear a harness and are attached with a strap. Your little one is very tiny and you will need to have a custom made harness perhaps. Check out chattiesmom on the YT Item for Sale Forum because she makes custom made step in harnesses. Jill is wearing one in my avitar photo.

Jill was 1.8 lbs at 12 weeks and now she is 3.7 at 6 months. They are such fun watching them grow!

I would strongly suggest an exercise pen as well. It would work great for securing your little one while you are camping. When ordering on ebay though pay attention to the shippping charges.

Hope this helps you.

Yes, X-pens are a must for camping any length of time - otherwise they never get to be off leash and just romp outdoors.

The carseats have a harness that keeps the pup from jumping out - or it has a strap that attaches to the pups harness. Yes, she will jump out if not attached - it also keeps her safe in case of an accident

I definitely wouldn't get the wicker bed for a year or so - the chewing stage can go on for a bit. I've not used one, but they are pretty.

If you had a yorkie named Katie, I would swear that we were camped next to you in Red River NM a couple of weeks ago!!! :D The "yard" you described is exactly what we saw in front of a motor home and my husband said that we need to do something like that. While we have 2 X-pens together for a larger "romp" area, Rex and Rowdy sometimes sit at the fence and look at us forlornly, wishing they were out with us or we were in with them. Your "yard" is the perfect solution. The one we saw was cut low to fit behind the steps of the motor home so you literally came out of the RV and were in the "yard". We will definitely have to get another one or two X-pens to complete the yard for next year!!!

Jill has had a pretty white wicker bed since she was 12 weeks old and we brought her home and she hasn't touched it except to snuggle up in it.

Thanks, That car seat looks neat. It says it sits on the console between the 2 front seats and I would like that. Will it also fasten onto the back seat?? OK X Pen shopping I will go!! I looked on ebay but so many just say exercise pen - Is x pen a brand name or just a shortening for exercise pen. Is there one brand that is better than the others?? I know I'm full of questions- thanks for being so patient and helpful all of you. I will get the wicker bed and try her from time to time to see if she chews on it. I am retired so I watch her pretty close and if I am gone, I will put her in the crate with the Walmart bed which She likes just fine. Its me that wants the pretty bed!! As for harnesses, collars & leashes, I've already bought 3 at the store and ordered 2 more from ebay. The dog has more changes of apparel than I do! But then again, she looks better in hers as well!:animal36 Wouldn't it be better to buy the x pens at Pet Smart or something since the shipping is so high or are they that much higher in the stores?? OK I'll let you all rest right now, I'm trying to be able to remember which one of you is which - just give me a little time, I'll get there. Thanks again,
Donna
