Do you take your dogs on vacation?

It depends, if its a family vacation, of course. If its a trip with Scouts or something I can't, would love to, but its not possible. We rarely go on vacation anymore anyway and when we do (its not really a "vacation") we go up north to our cabin. All of the dogs do come with us then. They all Love car rides and Jack especially enjoys the cabin because his Border Collie girlfriend is up there and he gets to go swimming with her all day long.

My dogs go with me about 98% of the time. There has only been maybe 2 vacations in my whole life where I didn't take the dogs. I plan my trips around my dogs. lol
I am taking a weekend trip to Canada this coming Spring/Summer & may not bring the dogs. I haven't decided for sure or not yet.

depends on where we go, most of our "vacations" are FOR the dogs, we almost never take all 5, but all 5 came to the herding weekend with us.. that was the first time we had ever taken all 5 anywhere though. Happy is usually a given that she comes, same with Ripley. but it we are visting family the pets stay home due to allergies.

Anita always goes to my grandparent's house. That's like her second home, and she loves so much her grandpa and grandma (and their cat, of course...), so, I think she has a good time there...

I never take them if it's a long vacation. When we went to Wyoming in October my Mom watched all 3. Out in Wyoming though I wish I had them since they were so many other dogs, but we flew there and 3 dogs on a plane might be a bit much. Maybe one day we will take them on vacation with us.

It really depends on where we're going.

I would want to but my parents either board him at the kennel or have family stay over (My aunt home from college usually on my grandparents) to watch him. He loves it when they come over because they let him on the couch and walk him like 4 times a day! He becomes the sole senter of attention.
He doesn't really like cry rides so we only take him camping once and a while because he was to be tied up.

Sometimes. I've gone on 6 trips since I got Daphne (yes, I just counted

), and she came for one - when we went up to New Hampshire a few years ago. We had a blast. I'd love to take her on more. (Of course not the overseas trips though.)
