[nagdu] Leaving our dogs in hotel rooms?

Fri Mar 20 14:37:12 UTC 2009

I agree with what was said about not leaving them with a family member if 
the family member won't treat the dog appropriately, giving it table scraps, 
etc. That's why I choose not to leave her with my parents. It was a good 
idea to mention about the Do Not Disturb sign. You have both emphasized for 
a short period of time, one of you mentioned 4 hours at the most in your 
opinion, and I was just curious as to why? At school, our dogs sometimes 
went 5 to 6 hours between park times. So I was just wondering, if I took her 
out right before leaving, why you would recommend still 4 hours? How do you 
recommend it be handled for someone like myself who makes this Kid Rock 
concert going experience a frequent, big significant part of my life? I 
mean, I'm not saying I usually follow him weekly or anything, but definitely 
often enough. I meet up with others who do the same, and some of them have 
been to 29 shows in 3 years, and I'm working my way up to a large number 
myself.
Thanks,
Chasity
