  Rox,

  I never thought about putting the do not disturb sign on the door. I love
  that and will be using it going forward. that would certainly curtail  my
  concerns about housekeeping going in and finding a bit more in the room then
  they anticipated.

  I just returned from the American Association of the Deafblind  
  conference.  I left my dog for about an hour or so to go swimming.  I  
  put the do not disturb sign on the door, and she was quiet the entire  
  time-- my neighbor didn't hear a thing.
  I would agree that if a dog destroys or damages property in the room  
  that it is the handler's responsibility to pay for that, just as they  
  would if it was themselves, or their child.  Laveau didn't do anything  
  but lay by the door and wait while I was gone.
  I couldn't have gone swimming if I had been forced to take her with me.
  It is important to know your dog and to be sure he/she can handle  
  being alone, but if a person is responsible, and if the person  
  addresses and resolves any complaints so that they don't happen again,  
  I don't see the issue here.

  Do not meddle in the affaires of dragons, for you are crunchy and  
  taste good with ketchup.
