Sibling in town with lab - where can we go with it?

[Anonymous]

It’s winter and this week VERY cold so I’m trying to come up with ideas of things we can do. She never leaves the dog alone in a strange house (ours) so it will be with her at all times. Does that mean no eating out? We have no pets so I’m at a loss. Other than taking walks, where can we go? In Upper NW DC.

We don’t have a dog but love to pet sit. Our kids love it too
Can you have someone come over and watch it so you can go out alone!

Can you order uber eats/take out if you don't feel like cooking? It isn't the same as going to a restaurant, but it's better than having to shop/prep/cook a meal each time.

Did your friend not thing about the logistics of a tagalong dog when she arrived at your house?

What a pain.

That is insane, she cannot crate him for a few hours? I believe some breweries allow dogs like Streetcar 82 in Hyattsville. But yeah, she needs to be able to leave him alone for at least a little bit.

I though that space wasn't open yet?! Weird.

Your sibling should have done a little thinking ahead. What on earth does she want to do with a dog?

If the chick won't leave her dog in her own sister's apartment, I highly doubt she's going to be willing to board it, unfortunately.

Here, here, I second Dr. Boyd's!
We boarded over 4th of July and I felt much better knowing that my 2 babies were being looked after, attended to and reassured during the fireworks. The staff is the epitome of who you'd want to look after your pet if you can't be there yourself & the live cameras were awesome.

My dog would freak right out in that environment. It looks chaotic and exhausting (in a bad way).

This. Your sister is a nutcase and I think you are home bound unless you want to tell her so. I mean, you can walk the dog around Lowes and PetSmart, but I don’t think that’s what you had in mind.
