The few times I want to eat at a place that has no outdoor seating, I leave him in his bag with everything but one vent closed up. He just sleeps and no one even knows he's there. If I already checked into a hotel, I will just leave him in the hotel room while I go and eat. Some hotels say not to leave the dog unattended but if it is a 6 pound dog that is quiet and well-behaved, no one will know, nor complain.

There are definitely limitations to what you can do when traveling with a dog...but having done plenty of road trips with and without him, I can say that when he's with me, I never even notice the limitations.

Photobucket is down for server maintenance at the moment but if I remember, I'll come back to post a picture of him on the bike on our last trip.
