Disney Dogs that I have loved

Disney Dogs that I have loved


Had a magical time at Disney World for Spring Break, which I swore I would never ever do a Spring Break at Disney….the lines, the price, the chaos. After finding a good deal and relenting to the reality that traveling on Spring Break with your kids is the best for their school life (no absences, make-up homework and gives them the pre-and post spring break stories to tell) the next big question was, what do we do with our dog? We would be gone for close to 2 weeks; not only do kennel fees add up but it seemed too lonely. I looked online and saw that Disney has a kennel…$$$$$$$ and a “program”$$$$$$$$. Has anyone used Disney’s kennels? I am lucky that Grandpa volunteered to take him. On our way to Disney (Michigan to Florida) I did see more people with small dogs in different hotels. I saw more hotels have clear policies on pets and pet fees. Has anyone taken their dog on a long trip with them? I did sometimes feel a little guilty that I didn’t take him, but as I said, I also felt lucky that he could spend some time with Grandpa and Chris up North. I did remind Grandpa not to let Cocoa get eaten by a coyote or run with scissors ☺.

Hickory, Scottish Deerhound, Best in Show, WKC 2011

Hickory, Scottish Deerhound, Best in Show, WKC 2011


Hickory, a Scottish Deerhound won Best in Show, last night. It was an upset if you consider the chatter (mine included) about a Smooth Fox Terrier, Adam/Dodger. Learned an awful lot about the different breeds and really enjoyed the show. Visit www.westminsterkennelclub.org to see more videos and pictures.
