Bowies, sorry to hear about your old dogs passing away, I imagine having a young mad dog will be a bit of a contrast for you. Our springer is VERY bouncy as well, springer by name, springer by nature lol. We were really worried how she would be  which is why we only booked fo 2 nights- but to be honest if the weather had stopped nice we probably would of stopped an extra night- the long walks and the sea air knocked knocked her out.

Vonc- do you have the excited weeing problem as well? we took 3 jumbo rolls of kitchen roll with us, expecting to have to use it all, pnly used half a roll and also extra bedding, just incase but didnt need to use it.

Donething, we had to take 2 cars with us. When we just had the greyhound we managed to fit in but its just 2 adults, no kids. When we got the springer we knew it would be 2 cars because we only have a ford focus so didnt think they would both fit in the boot space together.

If your greyhound is anything like ours, she is such an easy camping dog. She loves nothing better than being fed and then stretching out on the sleeping bags for a couple of hours- or in the sun if it warm. Just making sure she is warm overnight is my only concern with her, cos shes a wimp and doesnt like the cold.

What does everyone do about travelling with their dogs, in particular large ones? There is no way all the gear AND the dog would fit in the car, as we have two kids in the back as well so he couldn't sit on the back seat.
