[nagdu] Leaving our dogs in hotel rooms?

Fri Mar 20 20:14:56 UTC 2009

Hi Marsha,

Don't get me wrong, I wasn't questioning what you said in a contradictory 
way, I was just asking more questions to understand where you were coming 
from, and perhaps if there was something I wasn't completely understanding. 
She is new in that I got her in October and brought her home in November. By 
the time I leave her alone, it will be July though. I do appreciate what you 
have said, and hope you didn't take my questions and opinions the wrong way, 
because they weren't meant to be contradictory, I just wanted to understand 
what you meant and make sure there was something that I wasn't getting. 
Thanks though for letting me know.
Chasity

>> Hi. I was wondering what people's experiences have been leaving your
>> guide dog in a hotel room and going totally off the premises for a
>> while? I am planning to attend at least three Kid Rock concerts. One is
>> here in St.
>> Louis, so I plan to leave Hadley at home for that one. The other two are
>> in Indiana and in Chicago, Illinois. The two in Indiana and Illinois are
>> back to back nights, so I plan to get a hotel on both nights. I am going
>> to the concerts by myself for sure, but not sure if my boyfriend Chris
>> is coming with me to the hotels or not. I was just wondering, in the
>> event that I travel completely alone and he doesn't accompany me, do you
>> think it is okay to leave Hadley in a hotel room for the three or four
>> hours that I'm gone for the concert? The only reason I would be worried
>> is if hotel staff came in, or something, but the concerts are later in
>> the evening, and I doubt I have anything to worry about, because they're
>> around 7 or so. If I do leave her in the hotel room, should I leave her
>> on tie down or should I allow her to be free in the room? As you all
>> know, I have been following Kid Rock from state to state as much as I
>> can for about eight years now. But most of the time I go, Chris normally
>> stays in the hotel room, or I left Vanda with my parents when she was my
>> guide. I did take Vanda frequently, but Chris usually stayed with her,
>> so I only really left her completely alone in the room once or twice. I
>> don't want to leave Hadley with my parents since she's a new dog, and I
>> think giving her the travel experience on whichever mode of
>> transportation I choose to travel will be a good travel experience for
>> the both of us. Taking her to the shows is completely out of the
>> question, because I have front row seats for all of the shows and I feel
>> that if I buy $80 tickets for all the shows, I'm there to enjoy the
>> show, not to watch everyone's every move and move her every second. The
>> music would be way too loud and I don't want her to get trampled by
>> drunks either. So I was just wondering what your experiences are.
>> Thanks.
>> Chasity who is ready to rock with her man Kid Rock!!!
