Hey micki,

You could stay with me if you wanted, but Chester might hate how many animals I have (5 dogs and 4 cats right now ) And I think Tonya and Piper might be here too if she can make it. I have an upstairs and downstairs, but no good way to block off rooms.

If you want to stay somewhere south, you'd be close to where I live and we could carpool or you could follow me in your car. Just don't get a hotel on I35. Somewhere off south Mopac would be good. My book has a list of pet friendly hotels also, but those are listed online as well. If you don't want to stay somewhere south, let me know and I can recommend some good areas up north.

This hotel is pretty close to where I live and allows dogs. Check it out:

They don't even make you pay a pet fee or deposit
