Thank god for hotels that allow them, really.  When we arrived in Japan we had to kennel the boys together for three weeks and it was horrible.  They were in a tiny box and got hardly any exercise.  I pretty much cried every day that we were seperated.  But here we get to keep them in the room with us.  I really really enjoy that, but it is somwhat like a giant kennel, just with DJ and I inside as well.  No real exercise and the type of place that allows us to keep pets…is a little less than a three star place.  But I’m not complaining!  So what if the sheets give us rug burn?  So what if our kitchenette is less than sterile?  I get to be with my family and I’m happy.
