[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a small well behaved dog who travels with me and comes to relatives homes. I'm very sensitive to the fact that others don't like dogs, but I would never board him. I simply just don't stay with family who doesn't like/allow dogs. I think you'd need to make a choice- sister and dog or no sister for the holidays. Dogs are a part of many people's families and it's pretty cruel IMO to board a dog over Christmas. Besides, children love being with their pets over Christmas.

Is their dog bad? You didn't imply that it was a bad dog and you already own a dog, so how much work could one more dog be? [/quote]

You are an idiot. So is the OPs sister.

You don't drag your poor dog around with you like an accessory. They like being home. Really, they aren't people who think "yeah, traveling!". They crave the familiar. Not wanting to use a boarding facility is fine but get a pet sitter. But I am guessing that you and OP sister's fall into the same category - too cheap to pay for it.

I loved my dog. I loved her enough that I didn't want to put her through the stress and anxiety that travel and being in an unfamiliar place can bring so I brought in a pet sitter 3 times a day when we traveled. Was it expensive? Yes it was. But as I said I really loved the dog and considered it part of her care.[/quote]
