Personally, if I owned a dog and was going on vacation, the dog would be coming with me.

My son and family had to go to Hawaii to attend a wedding this last week. The wife and I drove the 250 miles to their house to pick up their dog, bring it home with us and babysit it for a week. Like most FReepers, we’ve got a thing for animals. Especially dogs.

Our dogs go almost everywhere with us. We went shopping today and my wife said she thinks her separation anxiety is as bad as the dogs.
We’re probably going to take them to a town that doesn’t allow fireworks for a few days. They’ve already started popping them and my dogs are shaking. I hate the sob firecrackin’ poppin’ rednecks and Asians.

if I can’t take my boys with me I don’t go
I do own 2 dogs and they do go with us vacation. If I have to board them the stay at a cage free facility where they play all day including a 20x25 pool and at night they sleep in houses with the staff and the other dogs. My dogs get treated like the members of the family they are.
