#9 TRAVELLING AUSTRALIA WITH A DOG? Why our plans turned around completely

[@MGDownUnder]

Not to shit on your parade.. but owning a dog requires complete commitment. Traveling with a dog means.. you won't be able to do everything you want to do. Yes, National Parks won't allow dogs so at the start of your trip you already knew that. Traveling with your dog also means not being able to leave your dog in your vehicle for long and for summer not at all. You also knew that. I have 2 dogs that I take camping with me. My time with them means more to me than missing out on National Parks.. than the inconveniences of having the dogs along in the trip.. than all the restrictions. Commitment is commitment.. whether with humans or with animals.. it's the same. Your dog is your baby.. like a human baby.. like your family. Your pet gives you unconditional love and loyalty.. they give us more than what we give them. So the sacrifices we have to make for them is not much in the grand scheme of things.

I have just started watching your series and I am impressed on your dedication into coming over from Switzerland and then embarking on a trip of a lifetime around Australia. Hard decision with Beani but the right one for you, and thats what this trip is about it's for you. Keep going and I hope we cross paths with you.

[@straynomads3005]

Thank you so much for your kind words! We really appreciate it and are happy you’re with us! It sure was a very hard decision, but at the end also the right one for us 👍🏼 Take care and enjoy

I want to thank you for this video.i was in two thoughts about taking my Boarder collie Panda around Australia.i have done the cape before and after seeing this have to concede that it will just be too hard.thank you and like you will do the small trips with him after doing Australia.We love these dogs and that is how all owners should feel.

[@straynomads3005]

Happy to hear we could help you out with making up your mind. It is such a hard decision and definitely different for everyone. But most important is that the dog is happy and the owner feels good with his decision 👏🏽

[@michellepelgrave3516]

You guys made the right choice for Beanie and i’m loving you videos !! Well done😁👍💯

[@straynomads3005]

Thank you so much for your kind words! So happy to hear you’re enjoying our videos! 🥰

It is very sad up can't take Benny with you. We are setting of for a 4 month trip in a few days with our dog. He is a large house dog (greyhound) and has done all of our shorter trips so far. National Parks will be a problem that we are prepared to forego (unfortunately). It all depends on your dog and what your expectations are.

[@straynomads3005]

That’s very true. Absolutely doable and enjoyable with a dog! Just depends on your expectations just as you said. I‘m sure you will have an amazing time 😍 Enjoy and have fun!

[@greghall14]

I’ve just stumbled across your video and i dont know your earlier story, as i have yet to go back to view your earlier videos. However, from what I’ve seen in just this video, you have no need to apologise to anyone for making the tough decision you have made. Everyone’s circumstances are different and you made the right choice for you. Guys, even just on this one video, you have a new subscriber. I feel your sadness re your dog, I’ve been there myself.

[@straynomads3005]

Hi Greg, Thanks so much for your message. We are starting to feel better about our decision everyday. We leave again today and we know our boy is at a good home here whilst we travel. Like you said, you know the feeling yourself. Thanks so much much for joining along our journey we really appreciate it.

[@Gemidrift]

You do you bro ! What works for 1 doesn’t work for 500 others ! We are talking about your life and your journey ! This isn’t a car build its your life the ones you need around you or following are your supporters not your haters !

[@straynomads3005]

Hey mate, Thanks heaps we really appreciate the support. And Yes, you are exactly right... We just want the best for us what we want out to get out of Australia on this big journey, nothing to say we won't pick up Beanie boy throughout our travels. Thanks heaps its the comments like these that drive us. Thanks again!

[@Gemidrift]

You got my support as long as Cahill still sells me the 80 before anyone else when you are done 🤣🤣

[@straynomads3005]

@@Gemidrift Might be waiting for a while mate but we`ll talk over a couple of beers 😂

[@Gemidrift]

O I’ll be waiting haha

[@ohhlalasarah8193]

I guess even as hard as it was to make this decision, it's the very right one. To travel Australia with all the restrictions for Beanie would have been for none of you three a lot of fun. Beanie will looking forward to see all your videos to see your adventures and so do I.

[@straynomads3005]

Thank you so much! We are very glad we took the decision even if it was hard, we think it was the right one 😊 We are so happy we can take you along on our adventures in the future 🧡

[@jackparkesdrums]

Onwards and upwards you legends!

[@straynomads3005]

Thanks man, Keep on steaming forward!

[@melaniestutz781]

It breaks my heart that you had to take such a hard decision 😔❤️ i‘m sure you guys are going to have an awesome trip anyway and who knows maybe the right moment to take beanie along is still waiting in the future ✊🏼 And no matter what, I‘m gonna do all I can to give both of you a huge cuddle in a couple of month! I‘m not giving up yet ❤️

[@straynomads3005]

That`s exactly right, we never know what the future brings, maybe we will travel with him later and take him on all the amazing adventures ❤ D hoffnig stirbt z letscht! Mal luege was chund aber ech mer blibed uf jede fall positiv ❤

[@nowhereboundtouring]

It must have been a very hard decision. We have/had two dogs with us and you are restricted for sure and having a larger dog seems to make it even harder. Some caravan parks won't even let dogs in if they are over 20kg. U unfortunately we had to put our beautiful girl to sleep after she attacked a puppy that was running around loose. She broke her chain, I feel terrible for the owner, we raced it to a vet but they ended up putting it to sleep.

[@straynomads3005]

It definitely was very hard for us to take this decision! But as you said, it is just very restrictive and yes, to have such a big dog makes it a little bit harder aswell 😥 So sad to hear you`ve had to put your beautiful girl down! It must have broken your heart! 😪

[@nowhereboundtouring]

@@straynomads3005 keep up the good work 👍

[@jaygus7297]

Sad about dog, hope goes well rest of your trip
