Ginny and I are on a ROAD TRIP this week! This is the furthest she's been from home since I've had her. We got her all set up in the backseat in her big pet gear travel kennel. Day one, we drove from south Denver to Lincoln, about 8 hours. She did great! Slept most of the way and we just made a few extra pit stops for her to take potty breaks, get water, and stretch. There were only a few instances where she grumbled, I think because she was bored, so she got a couple of chewies to work on. We spent the night with a friend of mine in Lincoln. Day two, we drove up to Brookings, SD to drop my sister off at soccer camp and drove around that town for a bit. Found an awesome FREE botanic garden to walk around for a bit and another park just a bit north of Sioux Falls. We spent the night in Sioux Falls last night, and she did great in the hotel, barely making a sound except when she needed to go out this morning! Today, we're headed back to Lincoln and we'll stay there for a few days. Ginny will get to experience life on the farm! Wondering if I should pick up some frontline for her or something, since we don't really have to worry about fleas/ticks in Denver, but I think they might be more common in Nebraska. Anyways, we're having a great time and she's been a real trooper! Corgis are great travel buddies! Peace out!

I just kept Ginny in the backseat in her medium sized, portable travel kennel. It's by petgear and is great, because it is collapsible and has mesh sides. Kept her water dish in the backseat, so when we stopped for breaks, I would fill up her bowl and give her a chance to drink a little bit. Gave her some good chewies and she zonked out most of the time. I did stop more frequently than I normally would, at some of the rest areas, just to give her a chance to get out and stretch her legs and potty. Everything went very well! Except for a few days she got finicky and refused to eat, so I had to HAND FEED her.... very spoiled, I tell you.

You have any tips for dogs on road trips? Other than the basic potty break (which I'm sure I'll be the one who will have to go all the time anyway.) What kind of restraint do you use? We'll be embarking on a huge one soon and I'll need all the help I can get. Hope Ginny is feeling better.
