| In all seriousness, despite access to free and good dog care they will spend thousands extra to bring their dog along. Is this an illness? |

Someone who makes different choices than you do.

In this case it's a family member and it is free. They would rather pay thousands out of pocket (because we don't allow dogs) than leave the dog with family and stay for free. |

Frankly OP it sounds like they just don’t want to stay with you. Let them stay in a hotel with the dog. Everyone wins! What’s the issue? |

| I can think of certain family gatherings that would make me want to retreat to a hotel with my dog. If OP is this much into other people's business, it sounds as though this is that sort of event |

| Some people just get really attached. I don’t feel that way (I can leave even my kids behind sometimes), but some do. Or maybe they don’t really trust the family member to keep their pet safe. |

Define free & good. Maybe it's not as great as you want to believe it is. |
