Bring them with you! I couldn't bear to leave mine for any extended period of time :-(. Last winter I drove from Chicago to Fla with my two dogs, plus my friends in the back seat of a Tribeca. I have a Jack Russell and a ShihTzu, my friend a small rescue. They travel in "doggy seats" which get seat belted in, and then a harness for the dog. Plenty of room to lay down, and they were all just fine. We stopped about every 3-4 hrs for a potty break and tried not to have more than an 8 or 9 hr day. LaQuinta hotels do not charge a fee for your
pets and were most accommodating! Can't wait for my Lifestyle visit in 2 weeks, and hopefully I will have some idea of where I would like to settle!
