Bridget, I am so sorry for you.
It's so sad that some people don't understand that pets can be beneficial to someone who is ill. Both my parents have been seriously ill and both have no trouble admitting that what pulled them through was the pets.
I am sure Daisy will be well looked after.
You and your Dad take care and try to make the best out of your holiday anyhow.
Bridget, did your mother at least read the letter before saying no?
I'm also curious if your mom read the letter. I always think writing a letter is a good idea. Growing up in our family, if we ever had a problem with each other, we'd write a letter. Sorry to hear you can't bring your dog but at least she'll be in good hands.
Bridget, I am so sorry it didn't work out for you but as the others said at least Daisy will be with friends and not in a kennel and will have personal attention and there will a be a big reunion when you get back. Just treasure the days you have with your Dad at the beach and before you know it you will be home with your sweet Daisy.

Thanks for all your kind words! No, Mom didn't read the letter, but she's still right; he'd have gotten mad.
Yes, Daisy will be in wonderful hands and I know she will have a great time. The family she is going to is dogless and they absolutely love her. It's my best guy friend and she adores him. So I am not worried about her having a good time; I know she will. I am sure Dad and I will too... but we will miss her anyway.
