Good idea for the forum title change!

Yes, we can get kind of defensive.

It's a shame your ex SIL gave up her love of travel because of the dog. We make a point of taking our dog with us most places we go,..especially when we go down to Los Angeles to go to the beach. We go to a dog beach, which has a personal use beach right next to it,..so we have the best of both worlds with that.

When we travel to Vegas, she goes with us, and stays at a doggy daycare of sorts where she gets to play all day with other dogs and sleeps all night. It's like an activity centre for dogs!

When we went to Hawai'i, we did the same. She got to stay in a place where the dogs had individual cabanas (rooms), and she lived it up as much stateside as we did over on the Isle. I love the fact they actually temperment test the animals before accepting them for boarding as well, it relaxs our mind knowing she will not be around other dogs that we are not sure of....

I appreciated the link you provided, thank you.

We find it hard knowing that when we leave where we are in the summer, we will have to find housing off of base due to restricted dog breed bans on Military bases. We got our dog three months before they placed a ban on certain breeds on military installations. We feel like we have been discrimated against because of the ones that do cause problems, but we do understand why it was enforced. Luckily, we were grandfathered in here and were able to stay put, but our next move we will not be so lucky.

The unfortunate side is we will now be out of pocket when finding somewhere to live because of our choice of animal....oh well such is life.

This whole scenario is reminicent of racial dicrimination, only in dog form...I am sure glad my dog can not distinguish between myself as a white person, and my husband as a black person....lol..or we would certainly of had some problems.

thank you for the banter, I did learn a few things.

ban the dogs? You are a damn ignorant person if you think that Pit Bulls themselves are any part of the problem. Their strength is what makes them dangerous, but outside of that, that are not the mo

Sez who? He said he wants to have a dog. That doesn't mean, by a long stretch, that he can.
