So I am going to Ft. Lauderdale this weekend to finally see my son and his puppies in person! I have seen lots of photos and movies but now I will get to see them and pet them, too! I am overjoyed!
I am not sure what you have decided, but I can't wait to meet you all next month, so make up your minds and let me know. I think hotels in West orange may be less expensive, too. Look for Winter Garden and Ocoee.
I still think Fleet would be better but I definitely understand the security concerns. Zappa and Zoe are too flighty to handle such environments and are always on leash outdoors. They have stairs and a huge apartment to run in, outside to them is just for making do'.
But West Orange is shady and clean and very safe, aside from being so close to the expressway. And there are toys for the dogs.
