The Trip to Crazytown

The dogs had a great time in Tahoe for the Fourth of July weekend, and the trip up was scenic...however it was also very very NOISY!

Katie, my eldest fuzzy child, has developed a terrible behavior: She cries. The whole time she's in the car. THE WHOLE TIME? Really? Really.  It's  a ten hour trip, people!

It's time to do a serious re-train. I need to get one of those barriers that segregate the dogs from the people (I don't like it already) and black out the windows in the back of the car, effectively making a black box for katie to travel in. Then we drive around and wait for her to settle down. When she's quiet, we can try opening the front so she can see out. If she starts crying again, we close it back up. The theory is that the whole visual thing is too much to take in.

I'll let you know how it goes...in the mean time, no road trips for us!
