Motels may not have been created for hunting dogs but you’d be hard pressed to convince mine this is true. If you were to ask them whether they wanted to sleep in their crates in the back of the truck, even though the crates were cushioned with memory foam, or go inside and do what people do–brag about the shots they made that day, moan about arthritic knees and other aching body parts, watch the weather channel–there isn’t much question which option the dogs would select. Obviously the motel room is infinitely better than any crate, no matter how many comfortable amenities it might contain, and I suspect this is not just true of sporting dogs but virtually any breed except possibly the sled dog breeds that would find even the chilliest motel room unbearably hot.
