Also, does anyone know of dog friendly hotels/motels in the area? I'm not much of a camper

There are a ton of hotels quite nearby in Findlay, it'll take a little searching to figure out which ones are pet-freindly, but there are a myriad of choices! Miss Hoppy stays home to guard the house, so we've never had to find out for ourselves, but I know Cinder and Smokey's dad knows at least one!

OH, so true!

"Most" of the $75.00 a night or less motels allow "pets" - you just have
to double-check their definition of what a "pet" is ...

Some have "size limitations" - anywhere from 10# up to unlimited;
some say only ONE pet per room;
some say "with permission" - then try to trick you into paying $5.00 per pet
extra when you tell them at the desk you have a pet with you.

Three GOOD chains that the Three FurKids have all stayed at are:
Red Roof Inns,
Super 8,
Motel 6. (Motel 6 is 30 and 35 miles away from Findlay)

Prices have varried between $35 - $45 per night - depending on the City and
the Date - Local Events sometimes push UP the price quite a bit.

Red Roof and Super 8 both have "under $45 a night" rooms for one adult -
and up to Three Dogs - IF you talk to the right person!
I usually call the CHAIN's main 1-800 number and swing the best "deal" they'll
go for and then make an un-secured reservation - then ask for the
direct phone number for the motel itself.

Next step is to call the motel front desk and try to "beat the deal" the chain's
1-800 people agreed to.

Last step is to pick the lower rate quote and cancel the high priced room.
"USUALLY" the Motel's Front Desk beats the 1-800 folks by at least $5 ---
and have agreed to "three small mutts" staying in the room.

Best bet is to shop around by phone -
the Web Sites do NOT always offer the cheapest rates!

Great advice, Phred, you are so smart!

just want to add, the guy at the campground I talked to pointed out that it will be a holiday weekend, so don't wait till the last minute to try to make reservations. You can always cancel if your plans change.
