You'd be suprised how many hotels allow pets, usually for an additional fee (around $5 a night, most often). Even when there isn't anything posted, I would just ask the person at the desk. I have found that the 'motel' style (the door to the room leads directly outside) is more pet friendly as it is easier to make the 2 am outside potty run. That's just my 2 cents...

I look forward to seeing it. Doris - Wahoo! Answers posted! Actressdancer - It breaks my heart when I see dogs chained up outside in the heat. Their chain will be wrapped around the tree so many times they can't reach their water, and I want to chain their owner up like that and let them see how it feels. /soapbox Hopefully, ya'll will be able to come to some kind of agreement! I will keep my fingers crossed. Toby seems to be great in the car so far - Let's hope we can find hotels that are dog friendly :) Baniarla - Thanks for stopping by! I've never had a Husky, but a friend of mine did when I was younger. They are such great and beautiful dogs! I think that is why there are so many large dogs in shelters though - people just see the cute puppy, and aren't willing to put the love and attention into training them. Once the puppy grows up, the "owner" gets frustrated and takes the dog to the shelter. You are right - Even at such a large shelter, the handler adored Toby and knew quite a bit about his personality. Tarss - Yes, yes :p I'll get there. He's still recovering from getting fixed. He needs his privacy ;) Pauly D - I totally agree and it gives me hope to see so many people who believe in shelters and rescues! Z - Thanks! I look forward to seeing it.

There are too many dogs in shelters these days. And you know what, your dog will be EVEN MORE loyal to you, if you can even imagine it, because they KNOW that you saved them.

So happy about your new addition. I got my dog through Siberian Husky Rescue. At the time, there were 65 sibes that needed placement in Southern California alone -- people apparently buy them because they're cute puppies, then are shocked when these intelligent & independent dogs get destructive when left untrained and alone. Another great thing about rescues and shelter animals is that generally the people who work with them will know a bit about their personalities, so you can know ahead of time if they will fit into your home. My husky is an absolute angel around children and other animals, even cats. I've never once regretted getting an animal through a shelter or rescue. Such a great story!

Wait a minute, I feel a blog speach comming on..lol. My husband and I will probably never have a dog since he wants an outdoor dog and I have a whole 'nother set of issures with that. I hope that Toby brings you and SK all the love and happiness imaginable. And don't worry, the right dog can make the best travel buddy!
