DIS/DISUnplugged/Dreams December Event Info – DISapalooza (continued)

[mrzrich]

Can somebody who has a post on page 1 add the GKTW wish list to page one. Dave said if we bring items to the Seminar Friday he will take them to GKTW Saturday morning.

Kim and I are thinking of doing the 5K too.
I think this would be a great way to introduce DP to WDW. Food and Wine is a great event.

I will be bringing up the situation over tree decorating this week. Possibly even present it as a birthday present to me kind of thing.

I think I will have to try and keep pace with you.

Depends on which leg you take.

Love to. If I were anywhere on that page. I will add the link to my list of events in my siggie though.

I would be faced with a similar situation if DP were ever to go on vacation with me. We used to have them stay at my grandma's house, but now she has her own dog and by her own admission, she can't keep up with three active dogs. I would have to rely upon my mom to come and let them out and feed them or board them.

I think having them in a familiar place is better than someplace foreign.

It's tough when you have a pet and have to worry about them in addition to everything else. I think being home would be better as well.

My two cents would be to have him at home and your sister come in 3x per day for him. He'll be comfortable and you'll likely worry less.

I will worry less, but I'll feel bad that he's alone. It's probably the better choice.

i would say at home with your sister is probably better. I know our dogs sleep most of the day. they are home for 9-10 hours alone during the day and do fine. I think familiar surroundings would be better and your sister can just give extra love time when she is there.

We are boarding our two for the first time in their 10 years. We are putting them with my sisters dog, who they enjoy playing with. We got a 10x4 kennel/suite, that has a floor to ceiling window looking out onto a sidewalk and busy street wtih lots of sunlight and activity to watch. It is really just a large room, we bring their beds, they can even stick a 'cushiony chair' in there for them to lay on like at home. they pipe in music. There is also a webcam. they get walked 3x a day, love sessions, snacks etc. Plus we might stick them in 'day care' f(for a litlte exta $$) or a few days while there for more freedom to run/play with other dogs. I am nervous about it, but I toured the place and it is highly recommended in DFW, in all the 'best of' magazines here etc. It isn't cheap, but I figure worth it for their comfort. I don't want them stuck in a little cage for 10 days! We are gone 10 days/10 nights.

Wow, that sounds great. I don't even think we have anything like that around here.

Andrea, what about a house sitter? Do you have a babysitter for the girls, or a family member, that can stay at your house and take care of the dog?

If not, I say have your sister come over and take care of the dog.

I don't think Vinny would be too keen on a stranger staying in the house. We really don't have a babysitter because my parents live a few blocks away from me and they are always the ones who watch the girls. I think the choice is clear and he will stay home.

Thanks for all the replies, it's good to hear someone else's opinions and point of view!

Good luck with the WDW discussion!


I plan on starting to go to the gym in January. I would start in December, but since I won't be here much it will just be a waste of $65.00.

Hi all! Just popping by to see how everyones day was. I just got my ME papers for DAP in the mail!!! YAHOOOOOOO!!!

 

[sshaw10060]

I have a question and need some advice. Anytime we go away, we leave my dog with my parents, he knows them and it's always fine. This time, my parents are coming with us and we have a choice as to what to do with the dog. We can leave him at home, and my sister (whom he knows) will come in 3X a day to walk/feed him, or we can take him to my FIL's house (whom he really doesn't know).

The thought of him home alone is sad, but, at least he is in familiar surroundings and I know he will be fine. My FIL lives in Brooklyn and although he won't be alone, he is in unfamiliar surroundings and I'll be afraid he could get loose, scared, ect.. We can't bring him to a boarding place, he would just go crazy and be miserable, he is a small pomeranian and is getting old and cranky. I'm leaning towards leaving him home and having my sister come in. Thoughts?

I find a pet sitter is a good way to go. We have someone stay at the house, but that is personal preference. If you want to find someone trustworthy try asking your vet if they have a tech that might be interested. That way there is someone you know taking care of your pet and your dog gets to stay at home.

Howdy peeps! Is everyone behaving over here today?

That's a great idea as well. Unfortunatley because of dh's work, he's really leary about letting a stranger, even if recommended, in the house with "free reign". My sister lives literally around the corner so I know she will always be available if she is needed... plus, she doesn't charge anything ....

I just got here Paul, but in my quick catch-up I did not see any violations of the code.

Don't worry Paul. I have been keeping them in line for you.

 

[Launchpad11B]

Thanks buddy. These folks will go crazy without adult supervision.

 

[Launchpad11B]

Thank you. I'm considering making you my vice sergeant at arms in charge of violations when I'm not around. You show a great respect for "the code"!

 

[OKW Lover]

My t-shirt is true to size. Just a little long. Makes me remember how short I am.

Just remember - you don't measure a man with a yardstick.

Go ahead and let it out. This is a great honor. No shame in showing emotion.
