Donating Senior Yorkie Talker | My sister-in-law thinks I have lost my mind :0 Ok, we are going on vacation on July 23 and were thinking of going to Hilton Head Island.. I love the beaches and it looks so fun. Well I go to reserve a villa or condo and see they do NOT allow dogs to stay on the island between may 31th - labor day... i was so mad because I'm not leaving Izzy for 10 days while i go on vacation if I can help it. She's like my baby. So I talk to my husband and kids and they said to forget hilton head . I was so happy they agreed with me. I tell my sister in law and she goes on to tell me that this dog is not a child, it's a dog and that i should broad her since my mom can only handle the other 2 dogs . ( izzy is still be small for my mom lol) I think i was about to come through the phone. I was so mad.. All I can say that my dogs are part of our familyand I would never broad them. No offence to people that do, but I want to know how they are being treated at all time and that they are having fun. Now we are going in the 5th wheel and touring the upper part og Michigan and going to Macinaw Island instead. the kids say this will be more fun..lol and I get to bring Isabella

| I agree with you. If the whole family can't go including the furbutts, I wouldn't go either.

| I bring Jackson with me when I can, but I'm lucky to have parents who will watch him. My dad and his wife have a huge fenced in yard and he gets spoiled over there so I've left him there numerous times if I'm gone on vacation, or even just gone for a full day and know he's being taken care of. I wouldn't board him, I don't think he'd handle it well. He loves other dogs to pieces but he's never been caged and he's really shy with strangers, I wouldn't have the heart to leave him so I don't blame you! PS- Hilton Head is gorgeous!

| Hey there........Im in Michigan as well. The lower half. We are actually going to Mackinaw City and the Island this coming weekend . The UP is such a great place to vacation in the summer! Glad you were able to compromise and still be happy with your vacation. To bad your SIL has never experienced the bonding of a four legged family member. I feel sorry for her

| I was just checking on a cabin in a State park for my husband and I to go to for a few days to relax. As I was reading about the area and ect. it stated NO PETS. When I read this to my husband he said, "Forget that, if the babies don`t go we don`t go." We never leave Tucker and Izzy behind. |

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | Yes I agree. You can only please so many people in this world, and immediate family is your priority and that includes your little furbutts! I don't care what people say, some dogs are like children!

| I agree, whenever Sophie Kate can come she does. I will not say I have never boarded her because I have but only with my Vet whom I trust 100%. You will enjoy the U.P. and Mackinaw/Mackinac - beautiful areas to visit.

| I don't know why it's so hard for some people to understand that our furbabies are our real babies too. My boyfriend and I went to Las Vegas last month so we left Holly with my cousin, and I had soooo much anxiety about leaving her. My cousin took her to her boyfriends house one night, which I had no problem with because they both love her, but she took Holly's crate and put Holly in it at night for bedtime, and Holly wouldn't stop crying. Well Holly sleeps with us every night and is rarely put in her crate. Sometimes for a few hours during the day while I'm getting ready so she won't be in the way, but she's never slept in it for a full night. When Holly is tired she'll just find somewhere to lay and stay there for the rest of the night. When we came home she told me that I need to train her to sleep in her crate at night! She is a very well behaved dog, and my cousin has always known that she sleeps with us and never in the crate, so I don't know why she had to put her to bed in the crate at night. Needless to say, no one takes care of our babies or understands them the way we do! |

| whatever!! I took Paddington on my honeymoon!! Granted it was only two nights in a swanky manhattan hotel b/c i didn't have time for a trip but still...he would have come no matter what. Someone told me that I had no life b/c my dog was a big focus on it, at first I got annoyed but then I realized I have a life and its actually WAY better than hers no matter what she says. Some people just don't GET it.

| I totally agree with you and my family also thinks I'm crazy when it come to my furbutts. I take them on vacation with us as much as I can and always searching for pet friendly places. One of our favorite vacations is visiting the Outer Banks, NC. They have pet friendly rentals and allow dogs on the southern beaches and we can drive there. It's a great place for a family vacation!

| Yep, I forgo vacations now and haven't had one in at least 4 years. There is only 1 person I would 100% trust to watch them, but now that I have 3 that is just too any and too much to ask. And mine ARE my babies, and I have a skin kid too. I also think it's different when people have larger dogs and don't understand. Our little ones cannot take care of themselves as a larger dog could. They are little, underfoot, can get into trouble if not being watched, really good escape artists. They depend on us for their safety and care, just as a child would.
