[NAGDU] Thanksgiving

[Tami Jarvis]

Elise,

I don't think you're making a mountain out of a molehill at all. If it 
were me, I would not go. I would see it as disrespect in general, and an 
insistence that I put my guide dog in a strange yard for that long when 
the dog is not used to being outside at all is too risky for the dog. My 
dogs spend a lot of time outside, but even so I wouldn't want to bring 
my guide someplace and leave him out alone for hours in a strange yard. 
You might be able to explain the notion of "guide dog" to your 
sister-in-law, but if she insists on leaving the dog outdoors, then I 
think you should go with your gut and not go.

hth,

Tami

> Hello, everyone. Thank you for the suggestions regarding health insurance for Becky. I have another question and I really do not know what to do. My husband and I were invited for Thanksgiving at family's house. Where they live is a distance from our house. Usually, when we go down that way, we end up staying 7 to 8 hours. I talked to my sister-in-law. She said it was alright for me to bring Becky, but she does not like dogs in the house. So, I would have to put Becky outside while we were in the house. Becky is not an outside dog. And, I would feel like crap with my dog, the loveof my life, outside while I was sitting in the house with family. I really do not know what to do. Now, I really do not want to go.  Am I making a mountain out of a molehill? Please, I need help with this.
