Camping with Dogs

Are you planning to take your pet on your camping trip? I have a dog who mind-reads. He knows much earlier before the camping bags come out. He paces and worries and gets all worried about being left behind. And the guilt that stabs me as I push my dog’s stressed body back into the house before pulling the door shut can only be matched by the pain of unlatching my wailing toddler off my legs the first day I went back to work. If you are planning to take your dog camping, prior planning and preparation can make the trip much smoother for everyone.
