FR17 - Dordogne

It's way back in October when we signed away our lives for a week in the Dordogne. At that time we hadn't even thought about going to the US again!  Luckily, the Dordogne trip is in May. In the last entry for this trip I mentioned that we were having second thoughts about taking Reggie. He went through a period of not wanting to go out and becoming a refusenik on walks.  Whatever was causing that seems to have ended.   He was also seemingly uncomfortable in the car.  Fidgeting all the time and not settling down.  I have since changed the seat cover in the back and bought one that is more padded under him and that is also like a hammock, so under braking he can't fall off the seat into the foot well.  We have also bought him a new bed that fits on the seat.  He was okay on the FR16 trip, although that was far less travelling for him.  I am confident that he will be okay. I have begun route planning as well. The standard Google Maps route from Calai...

FR17 - Dordogne

Dor dog ne. After a couple of successful trips away with Reggie we took the plunge and booked another trip to France. This time in the Dordogne region staying in a mobile home again, like we did in October this year, but in May! Except this time with a company called Eurocamp. Claire has some reservations about going so far with Reggie in the car as it about 500 road miles. I have built in an overnight stop on both legs. I don't think it will be a problem as there will be plenty of stops on the way. Plenty of time to decide.
