1) Try to take as many humans with you as possible. They have
opposable thumbs, so they can open doors & refrigerators, open
cans, carry things and perform lots of services that are really
useful to us dogs. The more humans you have around, the better the
chances you have for fun and snacks. On my vacation, I had about
half a dozen of them to wait on me.
2) Travel with your sister. If you don't have one, get one. Not
only is it real fun to have somebody to run next to, she is great
to nap on in the car.
3) Have a hobby. My sister loves to chase the ball, so she loves
to travel to new places and chase the ball. I like to nap at new
places, have snacks, and meet people. Hobbies are most fun when
you go new places, then when you get back you can compare places
you've been.
4) When you are traveling, drink lots of water. That makes the
humans happy and then you get to stop at more places and smell the
smells. Pee before you get into the car.
5) Nap when you can, seize the moment!
6) In the morning, if the humans are sitting around using big
words, and have no food on the table, take a pee and go back to
bed. Also, at night if there is a campfire and there is no food
left, go to bed, they are just going to chat and not do anything
exciting.
7) When the humans are eating, don't beg for food. Take a good
position under, or near, the table and watch for spills. If you
have followed step 1, you will definitely make out from spills and
then you will get good points for not begging. Then they will give
you more food. Remember, begging is tacky.
8) If any human looks sad, kiss them -- but take it easy on the
tongue action and keep it dry.
9) Engage with the humans. Try to make little noises, and touch
the humans with your nose and paw to make contact.
10) Try not to bark. Watch the humans for clues, don't listen to
the other dogs around. If another dog is getting in trouble, be
aloof and look cute.
