In two weeks we'll be heading over to pick up our new arrival :rah:
He's a real live wire apparently!
Anyway it's a bit of a trek. Driving from here to Belfast. 2 hours on the ferry. Just over an hour from Stranraer to our destination.
The dogs must be kept in the car during the ferry (although I also see that they have kennels on a first come first served basis... might be good for Tandie on the way over? Although I wouldn't put dougal in it as he won't have had all his shots).
Just wondering if anybody had any practical advice for this much travelling with dogs. Obviously when driving we'll be able to take breaks but on the ferry I'm not sure what the story is? Can we stay down on the car deck with the dogs? Can we walk them around on it? I haven't been on a car ferry since I was little It's a 2 hour crossing but Dougal could be confined to the car for up to 3 hours between getting on and off... what about toiletting?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions :thnku:
