I live in Florida and am driving to Pittsburgh for a few days to go to my cousin's wedding. I am thinking of taking my dog, Stitch, with me instead of leaving her with my friend. I just want to know- has anyone ever traveled with his/her dog on a long road trip? How often do you stop? Would it be better for her to stay with my friend? I worry because he is dog/house sitting for someone else that weekend and my dog is not too good with other dogs. She cries and occasionally shakes. Besides, I am going to really miss Stitch.
