Do you take your dogs on vacation?

No, never took Nicki on a vacation.... but I never go anywhere anymore either! LOL

Hubby is surprising me with tickets to a play and night stay in Baltimore for Christmas (he told me about it... some surprise!

) and first thing out of my mouth was "which cat(s) can I bring to the hotel with us?"

Miss Nicki would NEVER be able to travel with us - she is terrified of the car.

No, we usually don't take the dogs with us. We usually keep them in a kennel or family comes to take care of them.

I'd take Nova and Luka whenever possible. I try to plan my trips around what I will do with the dogs, although, I rarely go out of town. Mandy's anxiety would come into play and she'd go absolutely bonkers so it's best for her to stay home unless if we're going somewhere where we won't be leaving the room often.

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.
