Hi all. Wondering if anyone has any leaves on breakfast or coffee food trucks, specifically that will travel in Southeastern CT. I'm trying to find one for a recurring event and not having much luck. We REALLY want to have at least coffee.
Can anyone help me understand why it's so difficult to fly between Islands? I see post after post where people say that it will take most of a day to travel between islands and say you shouldn't do it if you have kids or if your vacation is less than two weeks.
Are the airports very inefficient? Or is there a reason it takes so long? We regularly fly to a nearby city for the weekend it never takes us that long to get in and out of the airports. I just want to make sure we have appropriate expectations. I've noticed in the road trip forum that people tend to do the same thing about driving more than 6-7hrs a day when we are very comfortable with that also. So I'm just trying to gauge the reasons behind the opinion and see how they fit with our travel style and our plans
Thank you!
We currently have 2 dogs that are 5 years old. They are well behaved but are dog-reactive. Anxiety, not aggression.
An elderly family member is moving into assisted living and cannot keep his dog, so we have agreed to take her. There's no other option and she will be put down if we don't. I've met this dog twice, she is shy but sweet. Also around 5 years old. Unfortunately she has never really had any training and has been mostly kept in a single room or outside.
I'm comfortable with introducing them, dealing with anxiety during the day, etc.
My concerns. My dogs have kennels but we stopped closing them at night/when we're gone 3 years ago. I'm struggling a little bit at the best way to handle nighttime when we can't supervise. We will work on kennel training the new dog, but I'm not thrilled about the idea of our dogs roaming free while new dog is in a kennel. I think that could cause some anxiety for new dog. Maybe we can put her kennel in a shut room so that the other dogs can't access? We have never allowed our dogs in the bedrooms upstairs and although bringing the new kennel into our bedroom during this beginning time seems logical, I'm not sure I want to start that habit when the others aren't allowed.
New dog also has some bad habits that we are going to have to work on, including scratching up the walls and housetraining. I'm hoping a lot of it is from boredom so fingers crossed there. When our dogs were puppies we kept them leashed and with us if they weren't in their crates and they learned pretty quickly. Is this the way to handle it with an older dog as well? Will the new dog learn from our dogs or will ours pick up bad habits?
Appreciate any help or tips!!
