Where in NJ is this?
See, in my fantasy, when I'm kissing you... you're kissing me. It's okay. I can wait.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

He is currently in Cranford, NJ.
I confess, I have no idea where that is.
eta: Scola! If you have any reason to visit DC this weekend (Rock 'N Roll Marathon/Cherry Blossoms etc.) and can meet us near Cranford, you are welcome to ride with us.
I'm borrowing a fairly comfy old 'Benz.

bonny, all my good pooch thoughts are yours. Kato is loafing in a supportive manner as well.

Cheers. The stab, it was in the dark.
I'm sure it will be fine. I just need to scope out restrooms not connected to fast food places to I can take him in with me.
I'll be doing 'track training' with him for the first couple of weeks, which means he will be lashed to me. Plus, I'd never leave him tied up outside. Doubly because he won't technically be mine yet.

Yay dinner with NC-istas! Sad flea and smonster have migrated....though I also got to see smonster in New Orleans (and Nora and Tom!) back in September...

What is track training, Bonny?
My travel method with Mr Peabody is to stop at rest stops, run him around, snap him back in his car harness, and set records for speed bathroom use.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Best of luck, bonny! When I drove down this summer, I had an extra car key. So I'd lock the animals in with the car running, and then set a record for speed bathroom use. After letting the Frankster pee, of course.

Ginger, track training is a method of building rapport and expectation with a new dog.
I'll attach his lead to my belt, all day, for at least a week. He will be 'forced' to track my every move. During this time, I will be teaching him the 'watch me' command, which further reinforces the connection and sense of calm from knowing his 'job.'
This way, when we meet other dogs and people, he will know to look to me when he is in distress and to come back to me regularly for a 'check in.'
All other training will be much easier, once that bond is forged.
