Vancouver, part tres
Jul. 16th, 2013 06:53 pm
This weekend I went to Vancouver with my mom.
Because my dog is still on prednisone, I didn't want to kennel him, so I booked a pet-friendly hotel and took him with us. (Found a rate/hotel I liked on Hotwire that was pet friendly, went to Better Bidding and asked for their assistance IDing it, called the most likely hotel to ask their exact pet policies, then booked it, and thankfully it *was* that hotel, as assumed.) If I can help it, I don't want to do that again. My dog is not people friendly like most dogs, and he is very suspicious of the slightest movement/noise. So the whole weekend, I stressed about making sure that he had his walks (braving public areas each time), ate properly, and wasn't too noisy to the other guests.
I also stressed about my cat, who I'd left at home. Because there was so much to do before I left (all the dog stuff, plus I rented a car, because the last time I went up to Vancouver, my windshield got dinged :( ), I didn't do what I normally do when I leave for a weekend -- check to make sure I could see that he was free, even if hiding under a bed or something (basically, ensure that he wasn't locked in a bathroom or closet). Once I realized that, late the first night, and recalled someone saying that cats couldn't live for more than a day or two without water, I kept imagining a horrible scenario in which I would come back to find the sad little desiccated corpse of my cat, trapped in the bathroom. Thankfully, that did not come to pass. Not only was he free and perfectly fine, it turns out I hadn't even closed my bathroom door.
Anyway, back to the real topic, which is about the food I had in Vancouver. Sadly I did not have time to go out of my way to get a Japadog (my mom wasn't into the idea at all). ( But I did have... )
And that was our trip! Whew!
