Vacationing with dogs

Ahh summer vacation. This year we decided to take our new RV up to the lake. Plans made, reservations made – what do we do with our two dogs?

Our Yorkshire Terrier is a seasoned traveller at 6 years of age. She has accompanied us to Florida since she was a pup.

Our 2 year old German Shepherd went on her first trip with us last Christmas (to West Palm Beach). She weighs 90 pounds so its like having another person in the RV.

With both dogs in the RV over Christmas, things got a little dicey between them. Both were trying to claim their territory and it finally came to a battle with the German Shepherd biting the Yorkie. Nothing serious, but the Yorkie was definitely put in her place.

I was reminded of this as we made Summer plans. I chose to find a good kennel for the Shepherd and came across Glen Saxon in rural Ancaster. They are breeders of German Shepherds, so I know Miley would be taken care of.

So here we are on day 5 of our trip and Chloe is shnoozing beside me as I type this. I am quite certain Miley is enjoying her stay at the kennel.

Don’t feel afraid to give your dog new experiences. They will be much better socialized in the end.

CHEERS !!
