Naturally we want to visit with our choldren and grandchildren so it is very difficult now with our Abby, with whom we are so in love. We HATE to leave her. |
At 1st I was with everyone else in saying stuff it to anyone who doesn't welcome her. (I myself have that attituds...if my girls aren't welcome too, don't expect to see me! And everyone knows it!
) However, after finding out that it's your children, I can understand how distressing this must be for you!!
I'm so sorry you are put in the decision to have to make some kind of a choice between the 2. I would NOT leave her in the hotel (in fact, most hotels do not allow them to be in the room without you there) alone. I think if I were in your situation, I would do one of these:
1) find someone who lives nearby that would be willing to keep her
2) find a YT member who would be willing to take her for the holidays...put a post in the regional forum, you never know!
3) most hotels that allow pets have a list of pet sitters that you can employ to watch your girl while you're out of the room. I'm not sure how it works...Abby may have to go wherever the pet sitter is?? (Personally, this wouldn't be my 1st choice...I'm not very trusting when it comes to my girls!)
4) IF your children live near one another, you may be able to find a YT member in THAT vicinity...that way you could drop her off in the morning, and pick her up in the evening. The best of both worlds...you get your children AND Abby!!
(This would be my favorite option if it were me...)
I TRULY feel for you
My girls are flying with us (WI to OK) for Xmas this year, and last year my Bella (Maya is new!) flew with us to Anchorage, AK for Xmas! To me, you're in a completely different postion because it's your children... I truly hope you are able to find someone!!!! Fingers crossed for you!
