Fun times......

[LIL MIS' MAGIC]

We took a road trip this weekend to visit my brother and his wife. The girls went with us and traveled in the car great!

But the best part was watching Magic and Sailor interact with their cat and puppy.......the girls had so much fun chasing and playing with them! Their cat is about 9 months and is very playful with the puppies.....and the girls thought their new puppy was a great toy....especially when she would chase them and bark back.

Does anyone else take their pets on family trips and do their Yorkies love the company of other family animals??

We are going to the beach in Makinaw MI for 10 days in July and I bought Bella a ticket to go. Northweat air charges $80 each way for her to be a carry on and they only allow 1 animal in the cabin per flight so you have to make advanced reservations. Our cats don't travel, but we are looking forward to taking Bella, the whole family including my son, daughter and their girlfriend/boyfriend are going

My daughter and her family take her two dogs..one is a Yorkie to their trailer at a camp ground..when Blondie sees the suitcases, she jumps in and won't get out. She hates the squirrels and tries to catch them before they get up the trees. You would think would learn..and give up.OL

That must have been a great trip for you!! I am curious how my girls would react to cats!

I take Gus with me to visit family and except for a Maltese everyone has huge dogs. It scared me at first but they are really good with him and he loves them. One is a Golden Retriever and he never leaves Gus' side. It used to freak me out because when I would hold Gus on my lap to keep him safe the Retriever would sit perfectly still and stare at him. I couldn't get him to go away. I thought he was wondering how Gus would taste but it turns out he was in love. They all do this weird mouthing thing, I guess it's the way dogs play ?? They keep butting their open mouths against each others, making a ton of noise. They do that for hours.
Gus also likes cats. When he sees one he flattens himself to the floor until it's close and then pounces. He hasn't caught one yet. My Dad has five cats, I can't wait to bring Gus to meet them. He won't know which way to turn.

I need to have a shirt made for him - If you can't run with the big dogs, stay on the porch.

That's the same way I travel on United! A couple of things I have learned for Toto, just in case you have layovers or a long flight ... I always make sure I have a small bottle of water, favorite treats, puppy wipes and a couple of wee wee pads in my bag. Toto usually will never, ever tee tee in her carrier but she did on our very first flight! Fortunately she had her favorite blankie in there. After that, I always put on her little doggy diaper and found that she absolutely will not tee tee in it!! She will go for 12-14 hours and it's very upsetting to me but the vet says it shouldn't hurt her since it doesn't happen very often! I always take her to the bathroom, take the diaper off and put her on her wee wee pad but she absolutely will not go!! Airport bathrooms are so noisy & busy, it's hard to find a spot that's quiet for her. She just hates to fly and it's very upsetting to her ... she would be fine if she could just cuddle on my lap but so far I have only had one attendant willing to let me take her out of her carrier!! Good luck and I hope Bella enjoys her trip!
