My parents live in an apartment, so I can bring my dogs with me when I visit them on holidays when the office is closed. They are well behaved and don't bark much. My parents know they won't do any damage to their apartment. But since they don't have any pets and didn't sign a pet application, I don't want to get them into trouble with the apartment management.
The rest of my family lives too far away and so, I don't want to take my dogs on long trips.
My parents live near a park with lots of pathways. We always schedule our holiday time around going for walks, as my parents enjoy going for walks as they are trying to stay healthy. So, it seems whenever I visit during the holidays, I am always going for a walk- as both my parents and my dogs are eager for a walk in the park!
