Howie and I take many, many car trips. I'm lucky b/c he's pretty good in the car. I have a car harness for him that's padded in the chest area and you can loop the seat belt through it so he can't run around and is restricted in case of an accident. I've tried putting Howie in the back seat but he FREAKS. So I buckle him into the passenger seat and turn the air bag off on that side. He has a toy but never plays with it. Usually he just hangs out. The one tip I would have is to bring a bottle of water and a paper cup. If we're at a traffic light or stopped I'll pour some water into the cup and he drinks right out of it if he's thirsty. Have a happy thanksgiving and a safe trip!

Lucky for me I wont be driving, Im going with my parents so my dad is driving and I can give chloe lots of attention

so I dont think she will be too bad in the car. I just hope she behaves at my grandma's house, they are not really dog people so Im hoping chloe will win them over. So far I have her crate, an enclosed dog carrier, and a front pouch dog carrier (chloe loves this and loves to ride in the car in this carrier) and her blanket, a bed, several toys, diapers (in case of any accidents at grandma's or in the car), 2 harness & leashes, clothes (several outfits, coats and nightgowns), 2 sets of boots, food, missing link, treats, bullysticks, bottled water, portable bowls, brush/comb, conditioner spray, and I think thats about it. Am I missing anything? Im leaving my house in 7 hours and Ive decided Im just going to work all night instead of going to bed. Dont really see the point in sleeping when I gotta get up at 4 am

Are you kidding, grandma won't want to let her go! I always bring some Nutrical just in case they get all nervous and stop eating. It's probably not essential for a healthy adult, but it couldn't hurt to have it. Have a blast! I hope you get some snow!

Have a safe trip, Shana! Sounds like you've got everything covered!
