We are planning a road trip from Dallas, TX to Ventura CA over Thanksgiving week - with great dane in tow. Since this one is NOT optional (we're moving and flying a dog that outweighs me is NOT an option!), we're going to have to make the best of it.

Any advice about how long this might take, where the best (read: dog friendly) places to stop might be, or other words of wisdom?

The plan is to drive as fast and as far as we can each day.
With plenty of "rest" stops for my canine companion.
