Remy's Summer Adventure - YorkieTalk.com Forums

RemydeHaviland · 06-25-2010, 06:57 AM

Remy has returned from his 10 day summer vacation

It was his first big trip. First series of plane rides (6 in total) and first time out of the country. He traveled exceptionally well, handling the trip down (three separate plane rides) and trip home (39 hours of travel due to delays and weather) like a seasoned veteran.

Once we were on the island, he adapted really well. No potty mistakes, no illness, and no behavior issues. I had packed his food in a collapsible cooler in my checked luggage so the patties arrived frozen and in perfect condition. That helped him stay on his regular diet, and I just bought some carrots and green beans there to cook and add to his NV medallions.

He had fun running around the villa and his 50-foot lead was invaluable because I did not have to worry about him. He loved having all 9 of us around all the time, there was always someone to play fetch

We all had a blast with him and really enjoyed that he came along. He will definitely travel where ever we are headed from here on out!

I took a bunch of pics, and will attach them and put them in an album

A few from his pool experience

He is not keen on water, but loved jumping from the pool onto the raft. He did actually jump in and swim a few times....

LOL Yes he is, and we did have a great time. He far exceeded everyone's expectations of how he would travel. Was very proud of the little man

PenniesMom · 06-25-2010, 10:45 AM

where did you go ive never seen such beautiful water!
im impressed your little man traveled so well Penny cant even go around the block in the car withour crying

Britster · 06-25-2010, 11:06 AM

I'm soooo totally jealous and Jackson is too. He says next time you come to Quiet Waters you need to take him w/ you, lol. Great pics, Remy looks adorable as usual.

Btw, where did you get that long rope? I have a 50 foot nylon leash for Jackson but on the beach it gets really heavy when drenched in sand and water for him to pull around. That yellow rope looks so much lighter!

So glad you had fun!

He was lucky to go, for sure! The rest of the family was really skeptical about how he would do, but I was adamant that he was not being left behind. Fortunately, he shocked everyone with how terrific he traveled.. (well not me - LOL)

We were in St Barths, French West Indies. The water is gorgeous there. Very clear. And we were far south of the gulf oil debacle...

Penny may just need some more practice

Remy does great in the car (now) and I had worked with him to get him used to his airline travel bag for quite a few months before our departure. He never fully mastered it, or appreciated it, until we actually were "traveling" . At times when we were practicing it he sounded like he was being tortured when he was in there... whining, barking, crying, biting at the bag, etc. The antics were unbelievable (and embarrassing in public!!) Once we were "under way" I think he finally understood his bag was his "safe place" and he was fine. Thankfully
