[babyjjbaby]

want to go camping and take the dogs with me jack russel and westie got a cage for the car which they r used to going in alot the only thing that i am worried about is if we can't leave them in the car i was going to get a battery fan for there cage and leave all the windows open a bit in the car how long could i leave them in the car for if i left all 4 windows down a few inches with the fan on there cage also any good places in the south or south west where is dog friendly togo camping and any other tips please

What about getting your food before you go and taking the powdered milk that you make up with water, thats what my parents used to do when we were (5) kids in a beachhut with no electric!

The weather we're having this summer I think your dogs will be fine! Obviously if it ever does get hot and sunny you won't be able to leave them, but as the RSPCA site mentions, its warmer days when the temperature is 22 and over it gets dangerous.
My dog comes to work with me and spends some time shut in the car(although he's mostly out and about with me), always with windows open, water and me able to check on him and parked in the shade, but I do need to leave him behind on warmer days.
I'd just make sure you pick a fine but not hot weekend. I live in the Southwest and have been to many dog friendly campsites, although I've always needed to keep my dogs on leads, I use a corkscrew tethering pole outside the tent, and a crate in the tent at night. Not sure if there might be a problem if you know one of your dogs is aggressive though, they tend to state well behaved dogs only. There are many smaller beaches in Devon and Cornwall that will allow dogs, check out the County Council websites for the area you are planning to stay in, or visit the local TIC and they have leaflets about which beaches you can visit.
I hope you and your son and dogs have a lovely holiday together.

thanks little b yeh dunno bout my westie but he has a muzzle on anyway and odes not get let off the lead i'm hoping to go when it is sunny but not to hot or windy they would have water in the car anyway and also i bought a heat reflective blind for the front screen of the car also if it is very hot hope it's not but want it to be sunny to go i could park in the shade and put the roof down on the car never knew they were beaches in codevon and cornwall will have to have a look at the sites

If it's very hot parking in the shade is not going to cut it. Nothing is going to make it safe on a very hot day. End of.

yeh well i can't help the weather can i and i can't just magic someone to sit outside the shop with them

You said further up on this thread you might
leave them for an hour in the car. An hour is too long, they could die.

Even 10 minutes can be a long time.

Why do you have a Westie that bites around your baby ? or did I misunderstand?

actually you said "yeh he is vicious"

Why do you have him ? Does he have health problems?

no i would not leave them for a hour in hot weather bout 10-15 mins most in the summer if it is hot like today it is cold so they would be fine in the car yeh me westie does bite he is vicious and nasty and he bites me never bitten the baby but i love him and i am not getting rid of him cos he'll only be put down i had him so i have to look after him

...but you can help where you choose to leave your dog. You are the owner, take responsibility instead of making excuses. You need to change the plans that you have if the weather is hot. The facts are here and clear. There are other choices.

pmsl at the thread title - I had visions of you wanting to strut your stuff in high heels, short skirt, long coat and big hair. with dogs. I only clicked on the thread to find out what vamping was

blimey. that'll teahc me to post something flippant before reading the thread...

"yeh but they will not be left for long"

no but it's still dangerous for them to be left if it's warm day - try and take some of the very good advice given here, you did ask for tips.

oh so fucking what i cannot leave them outside the shop they got stole once b4 and they bite dunno what u mean betifil girls
but u can help where u choose to leave ur dogs i need to change my plans what am i sposed to do and what are other choices i can only get some of the stuff b4 i go i can't get sum1 to come with me oh can they do any harm if i put the roof down on the car park in the shade and pop into the shop for 10 mins to get what i need i wished i'd never fucking [posted i asked for tips on going camping not idiots stating the obvious that u shouldn't leave them in the car i know that but i have no other choice i can't leave them in the tent way too hot i can't leave them outside the shop cos they r likely to get stolen i will not put em into kennels if u have dogs u shouldn't put em in kennels they have never beem left b4 i can not just put my 10 year old dog in kennels all of a sudden i can't be the only one who needs to leave them in the car for 10 mins anyway i ain't intrested in what any1 else has got to say cos i can't not just suddenly change the fact i am going on m,y own loads of people leave the dogs in the car with the windows open i sees them when i go out i ain't the only fucking person who will have left the dogs in the car for 10 mins

well dogs that bite camping babies and being agressive sounds like recipe for disaster

and the thread title was funny

assumed you were off out with your mates

Me too zippi.

babyjjbaby obviously has issues

she seems to think everyone who says anything is having a pop at her.

Perhaps she has become accustomed to people having a go

Who knows

cause and effect and all that.

Babyjjbaby some advice - the last I'll give just now - can you pause, and consider for one moment that actually the other people on here might actually be nice. They might want to help, offer advice, yes have a laugh with you at your typo (why not?) and express (politely) concern at your question, because it was NOT clear that you understood how to care for your dogs?

I am willing to bet that you have difficulty making yourself understood quite a lot. Maybe due to not finding it easy to get things down on paper/computer screen (I mean you find it hard to type/spell etc - nothing to be ashamed of) and therefore get very defensive when people don't understand what you are on about.

Stop for a minute, people are not trying to have a go at you, or take the piss. Nobody thinks badly of you for not writing like a genius.

BUT as soon as you start getting shirty and swearing at people, yes, they take offence and they react very badly - as you have seen here.

I think you need to look at your reactions as they are compounding your problem with communication - ie making things worse for YOU.

Sorry if this isn't welcome but I think you need to understand that we are nice people and we want to like you - we really do. Please don't immediately start hitting out because you are misunderstood

It must be hard if this has been happening all your life.

yeh i carn'ty spell and evrything i ain't decide a 100% bout where i am going i ain't once said i am going to so N SDSO most site shops don't stock enough food to live on proper the shop on our site atm doesn't stock anything but sweets and milk i still looking for site and i want it to be dog friendly been looking on the dog site and found some days ot aswell but i dunno if i wantta bother now cos everyone makes it seem so hard to go

but even dog friednly sites are not going to welcome aggresive dogs and aggressive people

the last thing families want on holiday camping is to encounter either
