My husband stayed behind with 3 of our dogs but the youngest was only 2 lbs and needed more care so I had to take her I told them or they wouldn't not see me until they came here that I was sorry. That cause a lot of you care more for your dogs then you do your own grandchildren stuff but I explained that I could stay at a hotel by them and they would have to visit me their and that still didn't go over well. Still more problems I have to say they have 2 outside dogs so it isn't that they don't like dogs just not little dogs. What I came up with after a lot of stressed out conversations was my pup would come with me and stay in a portable crate that worked out great that has a bottom vinyl leak poof bottom with the pee pads in it and I would take it out right after she went. They agreed and in the end they loved Charm and they were surprised by how well potty trained she was and how well behaved. In the end she was able to play supervised outside the crate and won them over with her little kissy face. My grandchildren had such a great time with Charm she even won over my son in law and daughter. Today I heard I got a new granddog a pug named Joey ha ha.

If I lived closer I'd take her. My dad died just before Christmas last year and I have no desire or reason to celebrate the holidays anymore and have therefore offered to take my friends Yorkies, April and Ripley if they choose to go away at Christmas. Did it before I had Teegy so it will be super excellent for him to have friends over for a few days. I'll put my James Bond jet pack on and come and get Abigail.
