---I just filled up the gas tank for 52 dollars. Atlanta for example is 156
dollars from here. Then you have the return trip which would be another 156
dollars. Texas is twice that distance. Thats a total of 624 dollars round trip.
Exactly the same thng it would cost to fly to Texas with one dog. The extra
days six in all of traveling to the National by car will end up costing you
even more. Even if you split expenses with someone. The actual cost of showing
dogs has gone up by one third in the last two years.
