Days when we run pet friendly errands with drive throughs are much more fun!
But the real world doesn't work that way. Not everyone - stores, friends or relatives - will feel the same way about Sadie as you do and she may not be welcome.
Bottomline, as much as we love our pets, at times they can be very inconvenient. It's part of the total package.  |
and to wrap up this whole thread...i wouldn't trade a minute of the frustration and the rearranging of my plans for Sadie. she's worth it all, and i guess maybe that's what got me mad enough to post this thread. my own parents don't get it, and it's very upsetting at times. they had a beautiful dog, but she was never in the house, always in an outside kennel. and a neighbor fed her when they were on vacation. they don't understand the depth of love for an inside "small" dog and they don't understand the costs and the scaryness of boarding a small dog that's more like a member of family than a dog.
