She even perks up and gets anxious if a baby is crying on TV. I think moving forward i won't think twice about bringing her with me and telling kids that she is a cranky pup and to ignore her. But for my nephews, my sister in law is a bit intense and would have freaked if I had Maggie with me after the attempted attack at easter. I don't blame her, but in the future I think we will need to just stay at a pet friendly hotel instead of the family condo. Now that I think of it, the cost of a hotel room vs a kennel stay will probably shake out to be comparable! LOL. Then we all win. I am just afraid she thinks the kennel was punishment or something. And I agree - if she doest perk up soon its off to the vet we go. Thanks for the 2 cents! |
That's exactly what I was going to suggest - a dog-friendly hotel nearby.
On a personal note, we have a Harry-sitter, we take him to her house (not often, maybe 3 nights per year) and he does adore her. But even 'Huge Harry' comes home absolutely exhausted - nor sure if he's worn out with all the 'different' walks + smells, or whether it's an emotional thing. BUT within a few days we are all back to normal again.
I truly hope all future visits go more smoothly for you, and sweet little Maggie May gets over her doggy-hotel-visit very soon
