I am completely with you. When my husband and teenage son wanted a dog and I caved, I made them understand that I am all in on anything I do. That means my furbaby is not being boarded ANYWHERE -- not here in Mississippi and certainly not on a vacation. Last year, we went to Orange Beach, Alabama and met my sister and mother (they live in Alabama where we are originally from). I've found that in larger cities and tourist towns they are much more receptive to dogs than Columbus, Mississippi is. Zeusy did great, and we ate at restaurants that allow dogs or have patios (Hooter's has a covered patio with ceiling fans, for example). I bought a pet sling off Amazon that Zeusy loves. He hates being "imprisoned" in a crate or kennel. I crossbody the sling, and he is such a good boy (I guess being next to me is better than prison). I guess my point is that you will find "vacation spots" are much more receptive to our pets than we think. I hate the car, too. Zeusy and I both need anti-anxiety medication! I hope y'all have a great time. |
