Just go back from Lancaster

What can I say... Wonderful trip.

We took our little Maltese so needed a pet friendly motel. Red Roof Inn was wonderful. We were given a handicap room with a king sized bed. The bath room had a walk in shower and the room was 12-7 with a pocket door so our little dog had tons of room. We took his pee pads, his crate and water and food so he had a whole room to himself. The rest of the room was very nice and clean. It was packed the two nights we were there. We found the front desk most helpful. Nice area for complimentry breakfast although we didn%26#39;t use it.

We spent the first day on our own but it rained the whole day. We were to get a private tour throught the Mennonite Center but because of the rain we canceled it. I would reccomend that if you want a REAL Amish tour.

Deiners Restruant was our favorite. Millers was too commercial for us even though the food was good.

As for driving around we found ourselves in Nickel Mines. That is where the young Amish children were killed last year. What we did see in that small community was Amish families.

I highly recommend the Sight and Sound Theater. When we left the play, ';In the Beginning'; we not able to even talk. I have no idea how many people can be seated in the place but it was totally booked. If you plan this trip I suggest you get tickets well in advance. We got ours over 2 months ago and at that time there were very few seats left. It was the most touching experience I have had in a long time.

Very nice relaxing trip

Glad you had a great trip!

What did you do with your dog when you went places? We always kennel our dog when we go because I don%26#39;t know what to do with her while we are out enjoying the day. I would love to take her with us.

Our little Maltese goes with us all the time. Red Roof Inn%26#39;s are Pet Friendly.

We put a do not disturb sign on the door. Most of the time the bathrooms are pretty big. We take his crate, toys, food and water. He goes on a pee pad so it%26#39;s never an issue.

He sleeps most of the time while we are gone. Never had a problem. Earlier this summer we rented a cabin Peigon Forge and he stayed in his x-pen.

If you have a small dog all you need is an x-pen, crate, or baby gate. We make sure he is in a room with no carpet. As I said, he goes potty on pee pads.

Hope you take your dog in the future. We never kennel our dog so he is with us whenever we travel. Hope this helps

Thanks for the reply!

Our dachshund would probably bark the whole time we left her. She hates when we leave her!

We took her to Pigeon Forge with us in June, we also rented a cabin. I put her in her crate while we were gone because she loveto get into things. (she%26#39;s only 16 months old) I loved the cabin and with taking Trixie with us it was a more relaxing vacation because we had to go back to the cabin %26amp; spend time with her instead of being on the go all day %26amp; night.

What is an xpen? I%26#39;ve never heard of that.

We thought Tucker might bark too but once we walked out the door and listened for a few minutes he stopped.

An x pen or exercise pen is what I used when I showed dogs years ago. You can buy all sizes and they can be set up in all configurations.

Just type in exercise pen and all kinds will pop up. You don%26#39; t have to get a big one and they also have them at pet stores. The above one shows all the ways you can set one up. I have several sizes but you would only needs a short one cause Doxie%26#39;s can%26#39;t jump out. You can buy all heights and sizes. Love it.

Good luck but it%26#39;s worth a try. It%26#39;s great for outside too.
