We are planning a camping trip for next week. We will be leaving Thursday afternoon and coming back Sunday morning. I will be leaving Dori at home with my mom coming by to check on her in the mornings and evenings we are gone. It looks like we are going to be taking Brody with us though. He can't very well stay at home alone for those days! I am excited about him going, but at the same time wonder if this is a good idea. Have any of you ever brought your dogs camping? We are camping near springs so we are planning to go swimming. Dogs aren't allowed near the swimming areas... So my question is what do you guys do with your dog at times like this? My coworked said Brody will be ok in his crate at the camp site. I don't like this idea....Is that what people do? Or when you have a dog with you, do you just take turns with others swimming and watching the dog?
