Sandy, you are so right, you need to be traveling now! And I agree with Betsi, having two is a lot easier than SIX! Sandy, that is one of the main reasons why we have a travel trailer, so we can take our two boys with us. It works out really well when we visit family/friends or take trips to the river fishing, and camping. If it is OK to take our boys to our friends/families homes, we do. But if not feasible, then we can leave them in the trailer while we visit. We had a big trailer but it was too much for us. We sold it and took one trip staying in a hotel that allowed pets - but it was too much of a hassle. They wanted to bark at strange noises, and I was sooooo worried when we had to leave them, that someone (housekeeping) would steal them. So, we bought another little trailer.
I completely agree that you need to travel NOW. Gary and I bought our first trailer 12 years ago, when we were 45 and 48. I am so glad we started traveling then because we have had some great times togehter, and now that Gary's health is so fragile, we just never know when a trip may be our last.
When we take a big trip to Alaska, for example, our daughter keeps them. We only do that once in a while, but there are times when they just can't go. Even boarding 2-3 dogs would be OK occasionally - but I can see that 6 would be problematic.
Good luck with your decision, it isn't an easy one, I know.
