When we moved cross country 6 years ago, we moved with our whole menagerie... 3 horses, 4 goats, 3 dogs and a cat. We were able to find hotels that allowed us to keep our dogs in the room with us. At a hotel in Arkansas, we left the dogs in the room while we went to dinner. Apparently our weimeraner didn't like not being included at the restaurant... you know those extra locks on the doors, the little bar thing that swings over and acts like a dead bolt.....yep, she jumped up on the door and managed to swing that over and locked us out of our room!!!! Took FOREVER trying to work through the 1/2 inch of space we were able to open the door to get that pushed back over...not to mention having to fight against the excited dog jumping on the door from the inside and pushing it shut on us!!!
