I guess this thread is about sneaking them in. I might be better off mentioning when I leave her at home. she missed out on a funeral and dinner at a 4 star restaurant this week. she didn't care about the restaurant, she has been there before and wasn't impressed. A couple of weeks ago she enjoyed her first movie out but slept through most of it. She woke up long enough to see (and hear) King Kong and she is sure she could kick his butt. The grocery store is a pretty regular outing but the sprinkler warning bell in produce confuses her. She thinks it's the doorbell  so now I leave her at home if a lot of produce is on my list. I only stay at hotels where she is allowed b/c I don't like worrying about her making a little noise.
Sorry if it offends some of you that I don't follow the rules. Part of it is the therapeutic attachment I have with this dog and part of it is my new rebellious attitude. Getting old can be great.
gotta find that red hat to match my new tude. |
I couldn't agree with you more on your post!
Everything you said is exactly what I do and feel.
There is soooo much crap w/ humans in this world too, and me bringing in Ransom in his carrier is not hurting anybody IMO. A well trained fur kid in his/her carrier isn't so much sneaking it's a part of my life.
If I am ever asked to leave I will respect that and do so. This has never happened before, knock on wood.
But as I grow older I find that what I do shouldn't always concern anybody else as I don't feel I'm bothering them or intruding. Life is short and I plan on enjoying it with my fur kids, at home and in public.
