So I am moving from South Carolina to California in 3 weeks. I decided the best thing is for me to drive back because I feel that it is much safer for Watson. So I have a few questions and wondering if anyone has any advice to offer me. He normally sits in the backseat when he goes for car rides but for this long trip (it will take us almost a week), do you guys think it is better to let him sit in the front with the AC blowing at him? Also I am gonna be making stops in Mobile, Houston, New Mexico then Cali. For our stop in Houston, we will be staying for a weekend for a family reunion. My family from TX are not dog people so I wouldn't be able to keep him there. I am gonna stay in a hotel that allows dogs but when I am away from the hotel, should I leave him in a crate at the hotel or should I board him at a local kenneling place for a couple of days. I just know he will be so stressed out by this move. That usually means he will shed like crazy. I am trying to make this the least stressful for him.
