Pet Forum / Birds / Birds / February 2004Maaaarrrrccccooooo!!!
Called Red Roof Inns, and they said no way Jose on the cat and the dog. Any other ideas? Anyone else ever travel with an ark-full of animals and find a hotel/motel that allows pets overnight?

It says *one* pet per room. I have the cat and dog. I know they don't usually count birds, but I've got two others. Oh well, I'll try super8, etc. Thanks dear. :L > Called Red Roof Inns, and they said no way Jose on the cat and the dog. > Any [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Laurie I was also thinking, once you set your date for leaving (tomorrow!), you can call them and have them schedule your route with their pet friendly hotels.

I can feed the manatees LOL, you'll get used to it when you DON'T have to shovel snow just to get out the front door. <G> As to the motel you have to remember that even with the chains, most are owned by individuals. Often what one Motel xyz says will be different from what the same one say's in the next town. The "best" way to handle this is make sure they allow a dog. Many will charge a non refundable deposit. After you get the OK, then just stay there. Don't mention the rest of the pets. If they hear the dog bark you already have the OK for it so as long as the rest of the "Ark" does not raise hell and bother other guests no one will care. Best to NEVER leave the room with the animals in the room. Eat from take out till you get down there. It's a pain but well worth it, trust me.

Let's see...big bugs vs. big snow drifts. Squashing bugs is way easier then shoveling!!! Not to mention that it's 20 degrees here today and 80 there.

Except that when I check into this pet-free motel room next and my daughter starts wheezing from the left-over presence of your cat that normal motel-room vacuuming doesn't pick up, you're not going to care.

She understands that perfectly well. What she's saying is that her daughter, who is terribly allergic to cats, would have a hard time if she had to use that hotel room after a cat had unknowlingly been in it because it would not have been cleaned properly. I agree it's inconsiderate of others not to tell the hotel the room had a cat in it, as many of us are highly allergic to cat dander. Becky > >Uhh, Vicki. Maybe your daughter can teach you to read.

My SIL is terribly allergic to cats, and can barely breathe after a short time here. I wouldn't want anyone to have to deal with that...not because of me. I'll find hotels that take cats, or I'll just drive straight through. Laurie I do have to say, my daughter too is terribly allergic, it's like in an instant too, I would hate for her to have to go through it. > > >Uhh, Vicki. Maybe your daughter can teach you to read.

The YOU best be very careful where you stay if you're on the road. Signature"A committee is a life form with six or more legs and no brain" [Lazarus Long] We are, however we rarely stay in hotels, I have 5 children and most won't or can't accommodate that many people in one room regardless of the size of it. But my point was knowing how ill my daughter can become, I too would consider this. > > I do have to say, my daughter too is terribly allergic, it's like in an > > instant too, I would hate for her to have to go through it. > > The YOU best be very careful where you stay if you're on the road. > > >Uhh, Vicki.

In their mind they are picturing a mess on their beds and carpets. The Motels that are OK with pets have a sign says "pets welcome" It does not say, "Dogs welcome". Anyone who is allergic to animals of any kind would be advised to avoid any motel that welcomes pets. The point is both of these posters either can't comprehend, or just are trying to troll, since they both pretended like they think you are trying to sneak a pet into a motel that does not allow pets, which was never what the conversation was about. It was just about not telling them you were traveling with several pets at the same time. A motel will not knowingly let you check in with a bunch of humans either for the same reason, they are afraid you're going to make a huge mess.

We are saying if you're going to take a cat into a motel room, have the decency to tell the motel staff so they can clean it thoroughly after you leave. Seems you're having the comprehension problem, Alex.

Plan ahead. Well "Becky" I guess you need to have someone teach you to read also. Have someone who has not recently gone to public school explain the post to you. She said a "pet free" motel. I was talking about a motel that does allow pets, they just get leery when you tell them you have several. This is common, they are ok with one, which is why I said ask about the OK for the dog, since that is the pet they are likely to hear. I bet you have a diploma you can't read to huh?

[quoted text clipped - 3 lines] >dog, since that is the pet they are likely to hear. > I bet you have a diploma you can't read to huh? What a total and utter load of reeking bullshit. Here is your entire post, 100% uncut and unaltered: "LOL, you're just not devious enough <G> With a Cat, as long as your just staying for a night to get some sleep the "best" policy is just don't mention it, and do NOT leave the pet in the room while you are out. When a dog is included it's "best" to say something since most will tend to bark at a noise, and this could get you a late night knock at the door from the management." I'm not seeing all the qualifications you attribute to your post, unless you believe that you had qualified it elsewhere in the thread, *and* that you're so important that we all remember exactly what you said in each post. This post says to be devious, to "Just don't mention it" but to be honest about a dog **because it might bark and you'll get caught**. Sorry, Alex. Your post says not to mention a cat. That's what I was responding to. If you smuggle your cat in (and yes, if you don't *tell* them you're bringing it in, your smuggling it) then the next person who checks in could pay the price. Starlight and Laurie understood me perfectly, you're the only one who seems to be having comprehension problems. Vicki SignatureJust to think I used to worry about things like that. Used to worry 'bout rich and skinny 'til I wound up poor and fat. -Delbert McClinton > In a previous article, "Alex Clayton" <alexx1400@yahoo.com> said: > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > Vicki Nice try, you are still taking one post out of a thread. People love to do the same thing a lot of ways, take one sentence out of an article to try to make the point they are trying to prove. A thread is a conversation, you keep trying to take a small part of the conversation and jump on it. As I said you either can't read / comprehend or you are just trolling. When you find someone who can read, have them look up the thread for you and read it to you. Laurie was having trouble finding motels that would let her take all her pets in the room with her. No where in the thread did I recommend she stay at a motel that did not allow pets. I told her to make sure the place did accept pets, and warned her most would require a non refundable deposit.

I'm following the travel with pets discussion with a good deal of interest. Even though I have no intention of travelling with my cockatoo, I can't predict the future. This information could be very useful to me someday. As long as the discussion continues in the newsgroup, there is the potential for other folks to add their experience to the thread. New posters, lurkers, whatever. Take this to email, and that potential goes down the tubes. Just my two cents. Tara J.

Actually, I thought the suggestion about mums the word on the cat is a good idea. Cats don't usually make a great deal of noise and management need not know the kitty is there.
