Although we don't face quite the heat of south Texas most times, we do
take our geriatric male Mastiff with us when we travel.  We have a 12-volt
fan in the LQ, and a walk-through door--we sweep the floor as clean as
possible in the horse part of the trailer when we arrive, and in warm
weather, we leave the connecting door open and put his dog bed, food, and
water back there.  There is sufficient air circulation that way to keep
him pretty comfortable.  When we're actually on the road, he has a bed in
the back of the extended cab.  (When we went to the Helldiver ride on
Vancouver Island and had to go across on the ferry, I teased the dog about
how much the extra two feet of truck for the extended cab cost us on the
ferry trip... <g>)  It saves me a board bill on top of the usual ride
expenses, and he'd rather be where Mom is anyway...  (And oh, yeah--I
don't worry about breakins!)
