Leaving Your Dog in the Vehicle
Some of you may know that we're staying in a suite until we can move our furniture out here from Michigan. Well, we have German Shepherd with us, and it is impossible to take her everywhere with us. She's 4 months old. She doesn't potty in the room or make any noise whatsoever. I go to leave yesterday for grocery shopping and walk passed the front desk and the lady at the desk stops me and asks me where the dog is. I tell her in our suite. She then tells me that I can't leave the dog in the room by itself. Ummmmm yes I can. "Would you leave your kids in the room by theirselves? It's written clearly in the pet policy that you can't leave animals unattended in the hotel." Oh, my bad... I must have skipped over that part. I apologize and ask for a copy of it. She gives me one and I head upstairs to get the dog. I sit down and read over the policy. Well, it clearly states that you CAN leave your animals unattended in the room. It says you can't leave them in the lobby, or laundry area, but it says they are fine in the room and that they're not responsible if a pet gets out during housekeeping, which we don't use, ever. So, I call the desk and ask her where it says I can't leave the dog in the room. She says, "YOU JUST CAN'T!! If you leave the dog in the room, I will call animal control to remove it. That's your choice if you want to risk animal control investigating you for endangering your animal". I hung up the phone after an irritated "bye". Here in California, it is ILLEGAL to leave your pet in a vehicle even with the windows cracked. Well, it was 80 degrees yesterday and I'm pretty sure the dog would die if I left her in the truck while shopping. I left her in the room anyways. I came back 2 hours later, and my dog was happily waiting for me in the kitchen when I opened the door. So, either risk getting the dog taken, even though the pet policy says I can leave her, or go to jail and be fined for leaving her in the truck, and possibly killing her? What would you do?

@Mijita No, I love you! ) ;;) :x
Sounds like she just had a beef with you period and was fishing for an excuse to have a confrontation. Boy, did you win one over on her, ha ha ha. Bet she wasn't expecting to hand over a copy of that pet policy (evil grin).
You go girl!! \:D/
So does that make every person who leaves their dog at home is cruel to animals? What garbage, ridiculus woman!
The only pets I have are fish btw:)
