I got up early to feed Nemo again. He seemed to be the happiest and calmest early in the morning. I fed him raw chicken mixed with some Fancy Feast beef. We bought 2 more cans of Fancy Feast yesterday at a local supermarket.

Our plan was to go to Banff National Park today. It’s only about 1-2 hour drive so we weren’t too worried about Nemo. We just put him up to the area above the driver and Nemo knew right away to go to the corner. I built a wall in front of him using pillows and blankets. With the ceiling directly above his head, I hoped this setup would make him feel more secure. It was really stupid of us not to bring his crate. I believe he would’ve been so much better if he had a safe place for himself. I noticed that his breathing was back to normal even when the RV was moving. He was just sleeping peacefully.

I took Nemo out of the RV as soon as we settled down in Banff National Park. He was much better than yesterday. He started exploring in the wooded campsite, stopping from time to time to look up to the sky or chew on grasses. A squirrel ran down from the tree not 5 feet away from Nemo. We were afraid that he’d go chasing it but surprisingly he couldn’t care less. It was a good 10 minute walk in the woods. Nemo behaved quite well. After the walk he sat on the picnic bench with us for a while.
