We are going to San Francisco where Grandma and Grandpa are for Christmas.
One thing that is different from last Thanksgiving holiday's visit there: we won't take our big baby girl, Yellow Lab. We will stay at our relative's house this time so she can't come. We definately don't want to take our big baby who cries when she is lonely and makes unpleasant messes to mark the unfamiliar environment. The most extremely emotional dog in the world is our dog. No dog is spoiled like her. She is the champion of snuggling mammals in American history. If we take her out of the house, she will whine through the night to be in the house, and she will make a stinky mess when she is nervous....The last time we visited our aunt's home, the dog made a bad impression. In fact, she was about to go on the carpet when I saw her and dove under her with a paper bag to catch it before it hit the carpet! Can you imagine?! That was a nice catch!

So this year the dog stays behind. However it was not easy to find pet hotel right before Christmas....I called more than ten places and even called one in San Jose. Finally, I found a pet boarding at the animal hospital near my house. We are sad to leave her alone and hope that she will enjoy Holidays at the hotel with the friends who have the same problem as her...

I wish that she was a chihuahua when we travel...travel size compact...
