How about ya'll?!
My trip was ok....I LOVED seeing my nephew (almost 3) and my new 8 week old neice!!!! (I will post pictures if you are interested...they are not dogs...LOL....)
There was DRAMA ...as I expected from my family...so for that reason I am GLAD to be back home!!!
I could not have asked for Brinkley to be better....he did not get to go in to my grandmother's house. -_- (as I expected) He stayed in the crate in the van
with the windows down (it was 55-60 degrees out-covering my bases before I get jumped on! LOL)....now, when I say crate...it is an "apartment" for him! We took out the middle seat of the van and put his crate-is the large size...like for a large lab or something...WAY too much room for him...he doesn't mind the crate at all...he just was sad that he couldn't be with us....I went out every 30 minutes-hour and walked him and played with him...he got two helpings of Thanksgiving stuff...he LOVED it....we left early both days to get back to the hotel b/c of him. It was not my ideal situation-(although he seemed better with it than I was!)but short of leaving-I couldn't really do anything else...if I had left because of my dog, my grandmother would have disowned me!!! I sure didn't need to add to the drama that was already going on at that house that day!!
He did not play well at my sister's and my friend's house with their doggies... -_- that was frustrating b/c they either had to put their dogs up...(which I refused to let them do, b/c I thought that was rude of me)-or he had to go back in his apartment, or in his little carrier...so for those places we opted for the little carrier where he could come inside with us....that seemed to please him, that he could see us. At my sister's it was not his fault...her Chi-wa-was (
) were NOT fond of him...but at my friend Jenn's, it was all Brinkley acting ugly
he kept growling and trying to bite their noses!
They were SO well behaved and calm...and just wanting to sniff butts and stuff..he was NOT having it!!!!
All in all, it was a fine trip. He did GREAT at the hotel and in the van-rode in my lap the WHOLE way......he NEVER had an accident...in fact, he had a box with wee pads in his "apartment" crate...but he never used them...he would wait until I took him and walked him...
Such a good boy!!!
Anyway, hope ya'lls trip was great too....
I did get told by my friend's husband that I had a "sickness" over my dog-b/c he was so spoiled and pampered (brought on by him seeing the "apartment" in the van for him)-he laughed and said his dogs traveled in their crates the size of large shoeboxes...
He asked if I wanted to take them home...
I told him no...they weren't Maltese...
(one is a Corgi and the other is ???? can't remember, but a fancy breed too....)
Gotta scoot, and get some pictures downloaded!!!
Glad to be back!!!
