The one and only time we've taken our dogs with us was last October. It got down below 30 degrees that night with no heat. My wife and I had zipped our sleeping bags together and our 65lb redbone was tucked in neatly down at our feet. Our 18lb beagle was tucked up under my arm. That is until there was a sound....a furnace from the neighboring rv, a dog bark, leaves rustling. Needless to say, I didn't get much sleep. My wife on the other hand could sleep on the tarmac of the local international airport and people in the terminal would complain about the sound of her snoring.
But after all that, I still what to take the dogs with us. Hate the thought of kennelling them!
