We bring a pen too (a regular pen if we are driving or one of the canvas pens mentioned in the first reply). Charlie is a bit of a door dasher, so I worry that if someone from the hotel came in and propped the door open, he might dart out. I think a pen in the bathroom is the safest too.

Before I let them out in the room, I also check over the floor. I found a sewing needle once and some kind of pill on a hotel floor once. Sometimes things get dropped and the vacuum probably doesn't pick it all up -- I just always check all over the carpet for anything dangerous.

Its fun having them along! I think its worth the extra work to have the whole family there :-)

Have a fun vacation!!!

Ok my YT friends need a little help here. Next month we are off to Illinois. It is a 12 hour car ride for just me and the 2 furbabies. I have never traveled that far with my babies. How often do we stop? Do I stop every 2 hours? Do I get something to sedate them? Help. I need all the advice I can get.

I don't believe in drugs or sedation. That is awful to sedate them when they can enjoy looking out the window and enjoying the smell.....at least my Yorkshire Terrier enjoys car rides with the windows open....the smell and looking at doggies as I point them out. They would be missing a lot don't you think~?

Sorry I didn't mean to put this post here. I thought I was starting a new thread. I didn't realize I wasn't on the main page. Is there a way to get this moved so it doesn't take away from the OP??
