hey everyone, i am going camping for about 5 days this august. i was just wondering if i should take bell... she's 2 years old and is about 3.5 pds. we're going to a river there are trees but it going to be about 115-120 degrees there..

what do you guys think? anyone take their babies camping?

I would if you have an RV with air conditioning so she can stay cool. Otherwise I would be uncomfortable putting my dogs in hot weather because they are not used to it at all. Then again I tend to be overly cautious about everything!! I would worry if their water gets tipped over while I am skiing, and they can't stay cool.... Interested in hearing what others have done.

We have taken Mia in an RV but we usually avoid hot areas.

We take ours camping all the time. We do have an RV with a/c. I too would worry about that heat. Those are some really hot temps you're talking about. Mine only go outside for a few minutes at a time because they get hot very quick.
