camping - pet friendly style
I haven't frequented this group in a few years, but I do recall some of the
names in here. Chloe is my mountain curr (or lab mix as other's view her) rescue that is now about 5 yrs old. We have taken her on camping trips in the past - usually 5 to 7 day trips. This year we are going for 2 weeks. (in a popup). Last fall we did a week in the popup in the Fl Keys and Chloe came along for the journey. Half way thru the trip we boarded her for 2 days while we did a couple of long - non pet friendly - days of diving and doing the Dry Tortugas. When we got her out of the kennel, all she wanted to do was go home, she was not much of a happy camper for the last two days of our trip, and that caused us to have to keep extra close eyes on her when people would stop by for friendly visits. This summer we are going for 2 weeks in the mountains. I've been checking around for doggy day cares, but can't find any so I'm going to call around to some of the vets in the area and see about possible last minute boarding, should we need to. As a family vacation we are going to do alot of hiking and we also want to do some mountain biking. While Chloe can join us when hiking, she can't with mountain biking. I'm looking for any tips and tricks to making a good family and pet friendly popup camping vacation for the whole family including Chloe. -- chloe's mom www.cruzenbye.com/chloe |

www.cruzenbye.com/chloe HOLY COW! Chloe looks just like my Roxy!! Chloe is one of the most beautiful dogs I've ever seen. Roxy is 34 lbs and I say she's a Beagle/Hound mix. A breeder here in Kentucky told me she looks just like a Mountain Cur, so who knows. I just know she's a wonderful combination of everything I could ask for in a dog, including beauty (or perhaps love really is blind?). I swear they look like litter mates. Roxy just doesn't have the white on her chest. Your vacation sounds wonderful. I hope you find a good solution for Chloe during the non-dog activities. My only suggestion is to perhaps make those non-dog activities half day events if possible and spread them out so that Chloe doesn't have such long periods of separation and boredom. Of course she might have the same reaction she did last time, but I suspect half a day of boarding here and there, or even a full day (but not overnight) will be less stressful for her than consecutive days and overnight(s). I hope it goes well for you all and that Chloe has a better time this time. -- Lynne |

I'm sorry I don't have any advice for you, but I'll be interested in the other answers. Just wanted to say hi! -- Catherine & Zoe the cockerchow & Queenie the black gold retriever & Max the pomeranian & Rosalie the calico cat |
