Hi ya Misty and everyone else!
I can't believe they won't take your dog in if she's in heat. We used to put our dog in when she was in heat as her birth control.

. That was the only time she ever went to the kennels. We live in the country with no fences. Anyways, they would put her in a kennel all by herself. It worked!
Megan 2 years ago we went to WDW for Christmas, and I brought the whole smear with us. A little tinsel Christmas tree, Disney ornaments I made from stickers. (I couldn't find minatures for nothing that year that didn't take up too much room and money.) They turned out really cute. Little tiny Christmas balls, and candy canes. I even made a wreath for the door with the Mickey heads form the Home depot in lime green, green and red. I also brought along garland and lights for the window! And window clings. I also surprised my 2 daughters who weren't married yet, with cheap felt stockings that I had decorated with cute Tinkerbells from the internet. I dolled them up with glitter glue and rhinestones. They didn't think they were getting anything that year cuz the trip to WDW was everyone's gift. So they were thrilled that they still received stockings. Anyways, my children thought I was insane with all of the work I was going through.

But in the end, it sure made it more special, and I loved getting ready for all of it. Oh and my little tree collasped so it didn't take much room either. Oh and Kaitlyn got into the spirit of things and made Tinkerbell "do-not disturb" door hangers for our rooms.
This has taken me forever to type.
