It's The Little Things That Make Life Such A Big Deal!

Most of the time I'd rather have them with me, and do.
If it were a long trip, say, Australia, and I'd be afraid of a dingo eating one of my babies, or difficulty with taking them on a plane, I'd rather leave them. Likewise somewhere like Yellowstone, or a theme park, where pets aren't allowed and they'd have to hang out in the room. I also seriously debate taking them to Mom's because she stresses us all about them, and inevitably underestimates what they'll get into (Remember Rocke and the plumber's putty? Rocke and the walnuts?)and they show in their behavior that they're not thrilled to be there, or Dad's, because he feeds thing he shouldn't, or nags me about it, and I live in fear he'll let them out off lead.
Anywhere they're safe, happy and welcome, I'd much rather take them. They're good travlers, very portable size, gregarious, and usually well recieved because they have good manners. Rocke got vaccinations yesterday, and Raoudi went along. The tech couldn't say enough kind things about them. We invited her to come see them do agility next month. It's odd, I don't see them as *exceptionally* well behaved, but from the feedback I get, they're better than most.
I do miss popping Annie-fanny in her red riding purse and taking her places.
