DOG or CAT on Board?

[StreamlineAK]

Well, call me crazy, but we travel and live in our 25' Flying Cloud with 4 Cats. Sometimes one rides up front, but we find the cats ride happier and safer in the trailer. They are not in love with traveling, but it works. They do go outside, but only if we are in a very safe spot and have been there a couple of days or so for their stress levels to have lowered.

We travel with a Lab Puppy, just completed 7,000 miles which we started when she was one year old, finished the trip at 14 months. Great traveler. Sleep while we drove, stopped and like someone else said - READY. I train dogs in my retirement, mostly abused and neglected for a local rescue so to get our pup real tired very quickly she goes for a walk and then full on training. Using their mind is harder on them then physical exercise. We also try to stop where there is water - she loves the rain, loves cold windy days and now that she has learned what water is, wakes from a dead sleep and starts to cry when we drive by.

We did see a number of people with cats this year, many in tents. They walked them on a leash and never heard any of them, I say good for the owners taking their pets with them.

Safe Travels.
