From the Canine Competition universe… confirming fortune spent on doggos. I definitely did not spend 4 figures on entries fees for 3 dogs in a multitude of sports in one weekend… ~

Dude, I wish. That’s why I’m asking here - because he was -wild- and I know that isn’t what being anti-car is about… at least, I’d hope not anyhow.

If it makes it better, his name is Ben and we went to college together lol!

Trains don’t allow dogs as passengers :(

Probably. But then, my only experience with it is one dude who felt that if it required a car, you shouldn’t do it at all, and everyone should move to a city like NYC or Seattle to use public transportation like buses.

You are not but your situation is what I’d like to migrate to, I think. Hotels have gotten even worse… many that I would use before are now charging $20 to $30 per night per dog with a 2 dog cap. Not feasible for me anymore 😞 😓

His solution was to stop going if I had to use a car.

This show is the shortest distance I drive… I’ve done 2000 miles in one day and that’s not unusual. I’m thankful this one is only a few hundred. 💯

I would like to trains be more reasonable - even if not every 2 minutes. I’d be okay with 30 minutes, if I could get on one with the dogs in tow 😞 It is not pleasant driving 5-12 hours and a train would let me rest.

We have to have a set at the Airbnb and a set at the show; it’s much easier to transport extra crates than it is to break them down and haul them back and forth every morning and evening (and takes a distinct amount of time to do). Why 10 and not 8 then? I’m loaning a pair to a friend coming to the same show!

Bummer! I was afraid that might be the answer. I was struggling to come up with anything on my own because none of the public transport allow dogs 😞

While this is neat looking, I don’t think they are intended to do 300 miles in a day on highways… could be a cool solution for local though!

That’s fair, and something I can understand the switch to! A couple of my friends do rent larger vehicles for the longer shows. ❤️

I would love to see shows occur more locally 😞 I usually drive 4 or 5 hours minimum.

Definitely doing something wrong my dude. My cartridges last several reams of paper.

Ha… I use Voyager and had -no clue- that Lemmy supported either one of these features (previously wef wef). Maybe turn it off in your client, or use Voyager?
