I can understand that it gives her a purpose but in the meantime she is missing out too. My daughter is a competitve cheerlader. There have many competitions that she has missed becuase she can't bring the dog. We also can't go out to eat becuause she won't leave him at home. I know I will never get her to change and I don't intend on trying... Just kinda upsets me that she misses so much.

It sounds like you are really hurting -- for that I am very sorry. I was never close to any of my grandparents -- oh how I would have loved to have had them part of my life. But... perhaps she is happy where she is in life, doing what she is doing, living how she is living. Try to include her by taking videos of your daughter and sharing them with her and visiting her often. Invite her to go with you when the furkid can go too... maybe just maybe in time you can ease her into going other places too.
