I never thought of that; good point. About 10 years ago, we took our first Yorkie to San Francisco, on a business/pleasure trip. I had a great time with him while the woman did her business. I think if the hotel is reputable and allows pets regularly as our did, the security should not be that high a risk. That is a great walking city, and there is nothing like walking a cute Yorkie to get strangers to be nice to you and chat
. We did leave him in the hotel but only for maybe 2-3 hours a couple of times.
One warning about the beach; my first yorkie was a pup when we took him to an outer banks vacation and he had not experienced sand. He was a digging fool, but tended to get sand in his eyes, I felt so bad for him and had to leave to wash his eyes out and keep watch on him to stop digging.
Several years later, I had a job stint in Jacksonville FL and took him with me to the beach condo. He somehow learned not to dig when we'd go walking on the beach, and we met 3 other Yorkeis and they played together many times; I even let him off the leash (but was prepared to chase after him if he were to bolt). Yorkies are wonderful icebreakers and can keep you sane when stuck with no friends in a new place. I met so many nice people that would have probably not spoken to me if not for pippin, but of course they limit your freedom as well (a good trade-off IMO)
