Anyone familiar with the San Francisco area?

[Cinder & Smoke]

The only time I could see leaving him is maybe an hour or so for dinner,
but I've already checked with the hotel and it's not a problem
as long as he's crated and we put a do not disturb sign up for housekeeping.

No problemo - as long as Hunter doesn't HEAR something in the hall or next door ...
and start to *BARK*!!

EVERY one of my Past and Current FurMutts has been left in a
Motel room, freind's, or Mom's apartments for a "quick errand" ...

And EVERY time I've returned to a *BARKING* Mutt!

Last time was an overnighter in Findlay with all THREE of em ...
We had a pizza & Dawg food; and I decided we needed ICE for my pop.
Pizza safely "stored" on top of the garment rack - I told The Gang I'd "be rite back"
and slipped out for the 3 minute round trip to the ice machine 2 floors down ...

Shudda KNOWN the guy I passed in the stairwell was headed to the room across from ours ...
TWO floors down I heard the muffled *WOOF* - *YIPP* - *YAPP* LOUD & CLEAR!
... OMG!!

It wasn't so "muffled" when I got to the door and tried to shut em up before I
opened the dooor!

And Cinder is usually good for one Oh:dark:Thirty Panic Attack when
a motel "neighbor" comes in in the middle of the night or leaves early ...
*WOOF* - *WOOF* - *WOOF* ~ DAD!! Burgler inna hall!! ~ Wake UP!!


If you really plan to leave Hunter IN the room "ALONE" - I'd suggest you leave
for a few minutes, then come back and *knock* on the door to determine
just how he'll react.

To be honest his barking was a huge concern last time I took him. He barks at the drop of a hat at home, which we're painfully working on.... Anyway last time I was traveling alone and needed to run into the store. It was hot so I didn't want to leave him in the car so I figured I'd try crating him in the room. I crated him and went outside for about 10 min. Unfortunately/fortunately the hotel had put us in a high traffic area. Within 10 min people had walked by talking, a couple of cars had driven by the window, our neighbor came out closing the door (not quietly), a dog even barked, and not a peep out of him. So I figured I was safe and went to the store. When I pulled back in what do I hear......him howling I was horrified. Later I ran into the people next door to us and apologized. They said they actually hadn't heard anything out of him until they heard me come back. Then I remembered, he always knows the sound of mine or my roomates cars at home and starts howling as soon as he hears them, and I'd parked right outside the room..... He's a little.....ok lot strange
