I go through withdrawals when I'm away from my dogs and the word vacation stresses me out so why go? We do try to go up to Whistler, BC every summer. We love it there and they love dogs! We take our dogs everywhere there so that is my perfect vacation.
I have to share something with all of you that came up this week just on this very topic. I work for a company that has to do with timeshares. Heavens, I'd never own one but anyways our January newsletter had to do with pet friendly timeshares of which there really are some out there.
Well, we get this email from a lady that apparently didn't appreciate our newsletter. Needless to say, I don't think this lady and I would get along very well. I wrote her back a nice email while biting my tongue. :x I wanted to ask her if she had ever seen the show CSI? Dang, there is all kinds of nasty stuff on the bedspreads! I can understand the allergies but as in Whistler we are put into a "Pet" room and I'm sure timeshares do the same thing.
Here is her email:
"I would like to say that I am disgusted by pet - friendly hotels and
your positioin to promote them. Companies who encourage people to
bring their pets into hotel rooms are catering to those people who
are so disconnected with the human race for whatever reason, that
their lives become centered around animals! I have seen animals who
have streaked feces across their owners duvets and it repulses me
to think that I may be sleeping in a bed that a dog has slept in.
Many people, as you probably know, allow their animals to sleep in
their beds. As well, most hotels do not wash the duvets after each
client departs, only the sheets.
This does not even take into consideration the allergy problems that a great deal of people suffer from related to animal dander. Who is to know that a dog was the last resident in a room that I may be paying up to $500 a night for, only to awake in the morning with puffy eyes, a stuffy nose, and a headache.
Your article promoting dog-friendly resorts is irresponsible and disrespectful to the millions of people who suffer from pet-related allergies."
