Well, as some of you read in another post, I was a little distraught over what to do at Thanksgiving b/c I wanted to take Brinkley, and my grandmother would not let him even COME to her house...
so, after lots of thought, we finally got online and searched out a pet-friendly hotel in the Tulsa area. Only one was still available with rooms...whew!...that was a close call!! It is about 10 minutes from my sister...and just a jump on the highway to go about 20-30 minutes to my grandmother's.
Brinkley is welcome at my sister's, I don't know about my parent's (we are not really on speaking terms), so I thought staying closer to her would be better. We are going to drive the 9 hours there on Wed....go to my sister's...stay at the hotel...then go to my grandmother's for T'giving. NOW- what to do on that day b/c he is not welcome...or so she says...this is what I did...I pruchased a big crate on ebay...for a GREAT price. It is the big 42" long kind. (so proud of it!!!-my bassett and lab will fit in it too if I need them to. -not together at the same time of course!
)I did lots of measuring and decided that a small wee pad...a bed...and play room would fit in there-not huge...but enough room to move around. (anyone else have this size?)...anyway, my plan is to ask her if he can come in the crate and stay in the garage...then when we are not busy..weather permitting...I can take him out to play...otherwise, the other option is that he stays in the hotel without us all day..and we have to cut T'giving visiting short b/c I can't/won't leave him that long alone in a strange place.
I don't know what we are doing on Friday yet...probably visiting more with my sister and new neice.
Saturday we are coming back home. Whew...!
I am looking forward to going, but aggravated that my grandma is being so stubborn!
I keep saying that she just hasn't met him (Brinkley) yet...
What are anyone else's plans? Anyone gotta travel like us?
By the way, thanks for the pet-friendly hotel link...someone posted that a while back, and i used it!!!
