Great! I kind of figured you weren't going to leave your daughter home! I guess a line probably just got accidentally deleted or something.
Funny about your daughter and the cat...my daughter said the same thing. She wants to take our cat.
The funny thing is that I could take my dog, Lucy. She is a diabetes alert dog. Since I live alone, she is invaluable to me. One of the main things she does is wake me up at night if my sugar drops. Since my sister is going with me, I am leaving Lucy with my BIL. We're going to have the beds separated and I don't know how Lucy and I would handle sleeping together on a twin bed! (I use a full bed at home!)
When I leave the apartment, she rides in the basket of my ECV:
She is trained not to bark at people, other dogs or any animal. People are always commenting about how "good" she is--of course she is. Service dogs have to be "good" if they are real service dogs!
our pets. When on the mainland, we used to get a pet sitter. Writing that check was painful - almost as much as our airfare some times! Now, we have the neighbor look after Betsy Girl. Much easier and less expensive
