Holiday travel with a pet

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: We are bringing our new dog, “Mara,” with us to visit relatives in Ohio this Christmas. They are aware and said that our guest room is prepared with a dog bed so that she will be comfortable. However, we’ve never traveled with a pet before, and Mara is an energetic Border Collie. Do you have any advice for a pleasant road trip? -- Dave and Diane in Sarasota, Florida
