I have done it a bunch of times and don't feel a bit bad, Lola is always bathed before we go anywhere and sleeps in her own bed, I would venture to say she is cleaner than some of these yahoos I see checking into the motels. I also am disgusted by some of the ratty blankets they have, I can not imagine she would make them any worse. In fact if driving I now pack my own blanket and always pack my own pillow. She is 100% potty trained and never has an accident. I only bring her if we are just overnighting or will be able to bring her everywhere we go. She is not a barker but I would be afraid that if left alone in strange place she would, I would also not want to take a chance that someone would come in the room and she would get out or be stolen. I think it is a crock about the pet fees they charge, it's hard to believe they do extra cleaning for a pet, because I am often appalled by the condition the rooms are left in when we check in, moldy shower curtains, dust and junk left under the bed, in the corners of the bathroom, etc. The places that I am talking about are like Hampton Inn, Best Western, Comfort Inn, even Holiday Inn Express. |
