There are some drawbacks.  First, accidents.  Dulce had a few on the trip.  Thankfully, she&#8217;s small, I feed her really good food, and I don&#8217;t let her have too many treats when we are traveling.\n<\/p>\n<p>Most of them were caused by logistics and once I realized what we needed to do to get where we were going, we were fine.  No accidents in the hotel room.  One was caused because I really just wanted to get her to the dog park.  One was caused because we were both being a little bit stubborn.  Still not sure what was up with that.\n<\/p>\n<p>Austin was dog friendly.  There was a dog park close to the hotel which we used the first two days \u2013 Wednesday and Thursday were just too busy.  There was a regular city park across from the Hilton and they were VERY pet friendly.  Probably worth it to stay there.\n<\/p>\n<p>The Holiday Inn where we did stay at wasn&#8217;t too bad.  Just not as much grass.\n<\/p>\n<p>The other thing is that your medical business is out there for everyone to see.  Not as bad as say a wheel chair or a white cane, but it&#8217;s out there.  Since I&#8217;m a teacher AND it was a teacher conference I did a LOT of education.  Hopefully people will learn not to ask questions.\n<\/p>\n<p>We did have a lot of fun though.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am going to start out by saying if you are hypo and hyper glycemic unaware that having a dog that can hp y9ou with that is invaluable, and is great for your confidence and state of mind.
