The Yorkies did fabulously on the trip to NC. They traveled well in the truck, though as always, they preferred the front seat to the back. The one night in the hotel went well too, although taking them on their leashes out back of the hotel in the middle of the night for their duty time seemed a bit odd.
At the beach we could only take them on the sand before 9 in the morning, and after 6 at night. That was perfect. Neither the sun or sand were too hot at those times.
We started by taking the three of them on their individual leashes. Well, you can imagine how that went. Getting their chance to run, so they did; this way and that, around our legs and under someone elses leash. Putting them on the triple coupler did not work very well. They didn't seem to be able to be very active. We found that it worked best to put two dogs with the coupler, and one on the single leash. Uno seemed like he did well coupled with either of the females.
Missy was the bravest with the water. It didn't take long in and along the water line and she would be soaked. Then wet little dogs and the sand! They were truly beach doggies! What fun!!
We met others with their pets, big and small. A bit of a social time.
As well as they did, I'm not sure if I would do it again. At least not at the time that all the family gets together. Not all beach houses are pet friendly, so we would have to leave them in their crate for the times we were out and about doing other activities. They did fine, but it seemed to restrict us some.
