[nagdu] Leaving our dogs in hotel rooms?

[lindagwizdak at peoplepc.com]

Hi Chasity,
How new is your dog? I'm wondering if the dog is too new to leave at your 
parents home, wouldn't she be too neew to leave alone in a strange hotel 
room?  Do you know for certain if your dog barks or howls when left alone? 
I would definately put her on tie-down with her favorite toy when you leave 
her. I'd talk to the people at the desk to alert them to the dog's presence 
in the room.  Or, maybe the Concerge would be the better person to talk to 
about it.

Who is Kid Rock? I never heard of him.  What kind of music does he do? I 
guess I got that same blank look as if I were telling a really young person 
about the 1964 "British Invasion" (GRIN!)!  Hope you work things out with 
your dog and enjoy the concerts!

Cheers,

Linda and Landon
