I live with our dog Marley, & not to be biased, although she is the sweetest & most darling dog ever, she cuddles with me every night, & wakes me up by licking our face on those mornings when I oversleep.
She prefers to play with her furry toys all morning, & will roll over on her back so that she could get belly rubs; I provide the best belly rubs ever because she kicks her right leg letting me guess she’s enjoying it.
I have never been away from Marley for more than 3 mornings, & if I do leave her, I ask our sister to watch her while I travel, then marley prefers our sister Lisa, & she prefers to play with her youngsters. So, she feels right at lake apartment when she is at Lisa’s house. I have a major conference coming up in 2 weeks, & it requires that I am there for 30 mornings. At first, I wanted to skip the conference, but our boss insisted on it. My company has already booked a corporate apartment for our stay, the problem is, the corporate housing isn’t pet-friendly, & that poses a problem for me. I don’t want to leave Marley for 30 mornings with our sister, & I am absolutely not leaving her in a single of those doggy hotels. I have considered getting an in-lake apartment pet sitter, but it still means that I would not see Marley for 30 mornings, & I am not sure if I can handle that. I did a quick search & I was able to find a pet-friendly corporate housing, & for a small fee, I could bring Marley. I presented this to our boss, & he agreed to cancel the original lease & rent the pet-friendly corporate apartment instead. Trust me, that was a immense relief.
