Never ever thought to leave our dogs behind in kennels .We placed the cat in one for a couple of weeks ten years ago and I am sure if we had not come back when we did she would have being dead ,never again .We have travelled all over Europe and Uk with the dogs and the cat(female and as clean as a whistle) ,never had a problem and we enjoy the animals with us anyway .Pets are part of the family and our trips away would never had being the same without them .lol

Our dogs have been great "ice breakers" when we're away on holiday. Most people are happy to come over to give them a stroke which leads on to a chat, especially from folks who have left there's at home in kennels !

Dogs are part of the family, would you leave your wife behind?

Not all our holidays are in the motorhome. For instance we were in Egypt last month so Charlie needs to be somewhere while we are away.

Off to Germany next week and my little terrier will be with me. I use the tunnel which is great and he has a cool vest if the weather necessitates. He has just had a hair cut (or rather a stripping comb) and looks far slimmer and better for it. Can’t imagine going away without him.

having the van is the reason to take them, not leave them at home.

My feelings too. Even the annoying little woofy sh*t.

Ask your wife if she would enjoy a few weeks imprisoned in a concrete cell in solitary confinement? There will be constant stress from other inmates distress at being locked in.

No sofa or comfy bed in most kennels and no grass to exercise and toilet on, just a caged concrete run with a drain

Some holiday hey?

We had a motorhome long before we got Jamie; at the time we had no thoughts of getting a dog, it was more that she won't fly, boats are not much better and hotels etc. were too regimented for us.

It was some time later when we realised how many motorhomers had dogs that we returned to the subject of her always wanting a Westie, which we'd discarded because a/ when I was younger I was allergic to dogs and b/ we were still working and refused to leave a dog on its own all day long. After a long break in the company of other dog lovers I discovered I was no longer affected and we had both finished work, so we went for it.

Although he doesn't mind being left for a few hours at a time there is no way we would now go anywhere without him. He loves travelling and is as good as gold as long as he gets his regular walkies when we stop/carry on. Yes, it can cause a few problems but there is always a work around.

Our 2 have just been sheared and are ready for their holidays over to Greece later this week
. Lulu (smaller one) likes the warm weather and sunbathing. Otto not so much and he will always find a bit of shade or otherwise takes himself under the motorhome. Needless to say, we take them everywhere with us.
