Hello! I am going to be taking (one) of my Whippets bike touring with me. and/or my bird as well (yes, she would be riding in her travel cage in my trailer with a cover on her while in my tent.)
Does anyone else tour with the dog or other critter?
So, I am also putting this here . . . and to those who don't "think" whippets are smart.. you are very mistaken.
I would rather cook myself over a fire or propane than eat at restaurants. I like to settle down in my tent, watch a movie, train my dog or play with him, or even color while my meal cooks. ( I also kayak camp)
As my dog is an assistance dog, staying in hotels does NOT pose an issue for me nor will grocery stores.
My dogs are well trained and know many commands for dealing with all sorts of issues and also a BIG bottle of bear spray (best thing invented to deal with stray dogs and other wildlife).
the bird I have is used to being around my dogs and if quite at home with being with me (wouldn't require much at all actually) a gallon-sized bag of bird food and water in a bottle in the cage), toys, newspaper, and a fleece cover for her cage at night.. for the dog and I, I'd have to keep lots of water on board (trailer) and kibble (1 cup 2xday). My food etc also.
I can teach him to jump into the trailer in traffic if need be or switch to the other side I need him on (since I AM an aminal trainer also).
whippets are so smart he will catch of quickly. they are an awesome breed. HIGHLY intelligent, they are a tiny bit sensitive, but not my male. I take my dogs EVERYWHERE when they are pups. Fairs, festivals, fireworks, crowded places, around other species. they are bombproof. I am not at all worried nor stressed about taking my whippets on any adventure I through at them.
Why not take all of them?!?
well, I own 3.
No, they won't miss each other
One is going to go be shown by his co-owner at dog shows
one would HATE being outside . . in weather . . (she would be the "I might break a nail" type if she was human), she LOVES being clothed too
My male LOVES his alone time with me. Seeing he is also a bombproof assistance dog (I think he can handle it) I am a trainer after all.
Please do not "worry" about other peoples animals as you do not know them NOR know the animals. the owner knows them the best.
