Can't say that I would do it either. I'd be afraid to make that choice and have a bad experience on the way there knowing you have to put the dood back on for the return. It would drive me nuts thinking my guy was "down there" not knowing how it's going for him. I don't have the control or the ability to check on him for 7 hours?? I could not do it. I could be separated for that time, no problem there, but not knowing if he was doing ok or having a terrible time? And having strangers who may not neccessarily have the same amount of care and respect for my pet that I would show an animal? Too risky. I fear it would be too much, even if it is just my perhaps irrational fear of fearing the worst. I think you have to plan for that. What ever can go wrong will go wrong. And you need to be prepared to suffer those consequences. I don't live in a bubble, but I stay away from things out of my control when it comes to my dood.
Any consideration given to driving? There is a whole lot of things to see. I say follow Dinah's advice!!!!
