So, I'm gearing up to pack for Nationals week. We aren't too far away (about an 8 hour drive), but I'm sure I'll have the car packed to gills with crates, grooming stuff, food, dog beds, toys, people clothes, etc. Oh, and a few doggies.
In thinking about what to pack, I wondered what are some of the odd items you all might bring to help get you through the week.
Do you have something in your arsenal of travel goods, either for the dogs or for yourselves, that some of us may find "unusal?" Something you recommend to make hotel living easier? Something that we shouldn't forget?
Just curious....
Thanks!
Deirdre

Take your own...
cutlery...good for the canned dog food. I always take my own towels/facecloths for the dogs. Take a nice wine glass if you plan to have a sip or two in the room. This stuff can all go in the small cooler.

oh, yes, take your show clothes...or I may have to show your dog for you!

I always take along...
two king size sheets to cover the bedspreads so if your dog 'happens to' hhehehe...get on the bed it is no problem.

A small cooler is great for having ice on hand and for taking to ringside. Take a few metal bowls for the room. Crate covers are good too. there are fridges in all the rooms, apparently.
How will I meet you??? I can't wait to meet some fellow BDW people...how could we arrange a meetup in the lounge or something??? with a bunch of us? can we post something on here?
I am flying and will arrive on the 21st and would love to meet you!!!
Andrea (you can e-mail me if you like) SEE YOU SOON.
