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.
