My family is dog orientated. Everyone but my oldest sister has a dog. There are 7 dogs between me and my three other siblings.
Because of this, we have always brought our dogs to family get-togethers. We celebrate a birthday almost every month with a small party at one family member's house. Usually some of the dogs are there as well.
On Thanksgiving, I took Misha to my sister's house as that was where we were having dinner. She had a blast smelling all the smells, playing with everyone, and trying to get the cat's food. It works for me because after a day of partying she was completely exhausted. She slept 11 hours Thursday night and pretty much napped most of Friday. I got a day off from doggy duties.
Do you take your dog on family outings? Do you like to include you dog in these events?
