Yes, our pooch is exactly why we're not driving down tonight and staying in a motel so we don't have to get up so early (yes, to us, 5:30 is early - you're amazing!!) Pepper (our Boston Terrier) would have to go to the kennel, and it's just not worth it when the event is only a few minutes over an hour each way. We can't leave her outside - she's just not equipped to deal with the heat - so we have to hope she can hold her bladder long enough for our drive each way and Barry's century. He's pretty fast, so I expect we'll be back home in around 8.5-9 hours at most, so she should be okay. Pets are definitely an issue when considering events!
