I have a quandary. Bailey is 9 1/2 weeks old now and today we need to go out of town for maybe 8 or even more hours. Our grand daughter is having her 1st baby. Grandma has to be there. I cant leave Bailey in her crate for that long and can't leave her outside in our car. So I'm taking her with us. About a half hour drive, no prob, but Bailey and I will have to wait outside the hospital while grandma goes in to be with our grand daughter. I'm taking food, water, her crate, a bed and some toys, just hope we dont have to much trouble finding shade to wait in. I'll have my cell phone so Jackie can keep me posted and suspose someone can spell me and watch Bailey while I go in and see our new great grand baby. Going to be quite the adventure with Bailey and I guess I'm doing the right thing taking her with us. Wish us luck, going to be a long day.
