WOW! I attended a futurity in Vegas in the early 80's. Gary Staser was the judge. I stayed with Ron & Linda Whitehead, and so did Ron Gates. But a number of people were at the big casino hotels, yes with their dogs. Several friends stayed at the MGM Grand with dogs. My puppy was bit by a black widow spider with in Ron's kennel and his the side of his head swelled up like a cantaloupe. See, they are other criters worse than fire ants. But we all had a great, great time. When I asked Ron and Linda what I could send for a hostess gift, they both replied, a box of dirt! :) Carol In a message dated 11/17/2008 3:51:12 P.M.

There is a Motel 6 that takes dogs but I don't know anyone who stayed there. The Microtel took dogs. The people that stayed there seemed to like it." ____________________________________ _Get the Moviefone Toolbar_ (http://pr.atwola.com/promoclk/100000075x1212774565x1200812037/aol?redir=http://toolbar.aol.com/moviefone/download.html?ncid=e mlcntusdown00000001) .
