I am out of town .. looking for houses in Detroit this weekend/week and because I love my Jackson sooo much I had to bring him. Now, I know I'm biased but he really has been good. He flew with me on the plane (of course) and seriously did not make a sound. Both of the passengers sitting in my row really got a kick out of him and couldn't believe how good he was. The people at the hotel have been great .. the cleaning lady for my room brought all of the other cleaning ladies over to play with him. But today when I met with the realtor he acted really disgusted. I could tell he wasn't into dogs so there was no messing around. Jackson is always good as I take him out all the time .. when he's in his daybag he usually just falls asleep or looks out at everything that is going on. At the end of the day the realtor looked at me kind of funny and said "Can I ask you a question" .. I knew this wasn't going to be good .. "Why didn't you just leave your dog at home?". WOW .. I was shocked. I explained calmly that he's just like my child (even asked him if he'd leave his children at home when he left for a weekend) .. that both he and I would be miserable if we were apart for a week and it is a priority for me to have him with me. I never anticipated when I got Jackson that I'd be this attached but I really feel like he is the best thing I could have ever done for myself .. he makes everyday fun even when it isn't. I called him back after I got settled tonight and told him I didn't think we would be doing business together .. he tried to back-peddle but I'm just not hearing it. I think he was totally rude. Any thoughts??
