@Quercus:
Yeah, good point about being covered in vomit from the crate. I think it is quite remarkable that she has been trained to use a barf bag, though. I don't usually travel with someone that could do that (usually me and preschooler and a dog or three)…and I don't know that all dogs would be able to get the idea?!
I would rather have the vomit contained, and have to wipe off the dog....but I suppose that is just a personal choice 🙂
It IS pretty funny to watch 😃 , I will admit. It was easy to teach her – she IS a Basenji and she does prefer to keep things neat and tidy, unless it is something stuffed that can be gutted, of course!
