I have to agree with some of the other posts here. I know it was frustrating and irritating to have to be on edge for 12 hours, but since you'd already had one similar experience, I would not have taken the dog, especially at such a young age--even had there been no children in the picture, I would think a lengthy trip should be avoided if possible. Yes kids can be a pain and should be taught to behave and respect others, but I don't think the parents deserve the full brunt of the blame in this situation. Maybe they thought the kids could get under your skin with their actions enough to deter you from bringing your dog with you to on future visits. |
