what would you do?
sometime in the near future me and mine will spend the weekend camping along
with my sister and her family. This includes our beloved dogs. (I have one, she has 2 small dogs). During the weekend of camping there will be a period where my son has his weekly soccer game. This requires us to travel to the game, meaning we can't leave dogs alone at the campsite for the 4+ hrs we will be gone. But, the park where the game will be held is not a dog park. (Florida sucks when it comes to pet friendliness - the only parks that allow dogs are "dog parks" which are special fenced off areas where dogs can run free). It is also still to warm to leave the dogs in the cars for the 1.5hrs that the game takes up - not to mention these are very busy parks - with lots of other teams playing their games too, so one of my sister's dogs is a barker - so she can't leave him in the car. So, what would you do? I'm thinking we just ignore the "no dog" signs (dog w/ a big slash thru it) and bring the dogs to the park, sit out of the way and keep the dogs on a tight leash, being sure to clean up if anything happens. What would you do? (btw - my husband is coach of the soccer team, so we can't just skip the game.) |

I do not know if this is common, but I remember going to a touristy type place in NC, or TN, or GA (where we were, it was all sort of there together on the corner...) that had a built-in kennel area for dogs. Considering how hot the summers get there (it was late Sept/ early Oct when we were there & it was in the 80's), I wondered if there were more places like that back East. Shelly & The Boys |

I am going away for a conference at a hotel that allows me to take my dog.
Should I take him? I will be there for a week. I don't know how many hours the conference is each day (I didn't get the agenda yet). My parents will watch the dog and we live with them so it would be that different really. I will miss the puppy though. I don't want to have to leave the puppy alone for long hours but I will miss him if he doesn't come and he will miss me (he slept in my bed since the night I got him). what should I do? thanks |

Suja Or if this doesn't work for you, adults except husband take turns going to the car and staying with the dogs, with the AC turned on. You would still get to see most of the game.

Are they old softies who would let him in bed with them? If not, maybe they can put his crate/kennel/bed next to theirs at night so that we won't get lonely. IMO, that would be better than leaving him for long hours in the hotel room or kennel. He'll need to pee and will probably be lonely if no one is around. That's what I would do. I had to face this choice when I had a three-month assignment in another state - it was hard enough to find a 3-month rental, much less one that would take pets. And I was working long hours, with an hour commute each way. So I "let" my parents babysit my Chihuahua. I really missed her, but she settled right into their routine, and yet she was happy to see me when I picked her up.
