I am glad things went better for you during the trip. Just out of curiousity, how does Ranger do on the car trip? Do you keep him loose or in a crate while traveling? I am usually worried about having an attack when we go to our boat, that I typically leave our dog at home with a neighbor letting her out or take her to my future BIL's for the night. I would like to take her with, but always worried about Jason having to deal with both of us.
