My husband, my daughter and I are planning a trip to Corpus Christi, Texas, in late August. We were hoping to take Carino and Pepito with us, traveling with us being one of the supposed perks of having small fur babies. We have never been able to travel with our two 100-pound Labs. I made reservations via Expedia at the Emerald Beach Hotel for one of the “superior rooms” with an ocean view. When I called the hotel to inquire about extra charges for pets—which I was more than willing to pay, the staff member to whom I spoke advised me that their only “pet friendly” rooms were the “standard “ ones on the ground floor. I had visions of dirty, smelly rooms for those of us who dare to travel with dogs—an overreaction, no doubt. Nevertheless, I found the information quite annoying because we are very responsible pet parents. I suppose, as in all things, responsible people pay the price for those who are not responsible. Learning about so-called “pet-friendly” accomodations is going to be quite a learning experience.
Tomorrow I will taking the “boyos” to stay with their godmother Sara for a few hours while I teach two back to back Yoga classes. I hope to do this periodically before the end of August so that the two can feel hopefully less abandoned and more comfortable staying with Sara during our trip to Corpus Christi. This will be another learning experience.
