Travel with a Pet

Yes, we are a site that focuses on keeping KIDS traveling happy, but having just adopted a 4 month old shelter pup (if you are in Maine, check out The Greater Androscoggin Humane Society in Lewiston.). Oh, her name is Moxy, and all we really know about her is that she's some sort of Black Lab mix.
Tips for ROAD TRIPS with DOGs: this was something we are very interested in, as our dog threw up on her first few road trips(that is, the hour home from the shelter, and just the 7 mile trip into town daily to drop our oldest son off at 1st grade)! We think this may have something to do with her 'transport' from a shelter in Tennessee to Maine, as it seems to be resolving itself now! (poor thing)
