Hi-ya all! Hope you and your babies are doing well.
So - here's the deal. We are going a road trip - from Chicago to South Carolina tomorrow :new_Eyecrazy: The best part -- we're taking Teddy. Teddy loves the car. Usually we keep him in his carrier because he is insistent on sitting on MY lap while I'm driving, and that is dangerous. Also we're only in the car for 30 minutes to an hour at a time. Guys, this is a 13 hour trip! I'm already exhausted and we haven't even left yet. I don't know what to do with Ted. I think he'll be OK just hanging out in the back seat, but I don't know what to do about food/water. Should I refrain from giving him anything to eat/drink tonight? I don't want to deprive him of anything, and I don't want him to have accidents in the car either. Of course we'll stop, but I'm thinking he won't really be hungry bc he's not in his home or a comfortable environment?? I'm sure a lot of you have babies that love car rides. Have any of you ever taken your doggie on a long road trip?If so, how was your experience? How did you go about feeding them along the way?
Thanks a million - you guys always save me!
