Hi NB,
Arthur, my dog, stayed with my sister who lives in France. When I started contacted potential places to stay over night I was having difficulty in securing a room due to the dog. After completing the Camino, I am glad that I did leave him. I had a couple 26 mile days that probably...
HI Deb, I am guessing you have read all the follow-ups. Arthur is now going to stay with my sister in Paris. I was having so much trouble finding places when I called ahead that understood "service dog", even though it is a new law in Spain that they must be accepted. So, here we go. I begin...
Hello Viranani, you are correct, not easy decision, but probably the wise choice. He will stay in Paris with my sister. My mother died last week so now I have to push out my Camino dates a bit, probably start my walk in late April. Best of luck on yours! Cheers!
Thanks for the kind an generous offer! He is going to stay with my sister who lives just north of Paris. After the Camino he and I are going to tour through Europe. Another adventure.
Cheers!
Hello All:
My Camino will begin April 5th from SJPP. After much deliberation I have decided to leave my service dog with my sister in Paris. I want to thank all of you for your responses and support. See you on The Way.
Cheers!
All:
Thank you so much for the information and suggestions. My time to begin my Camino is nearing and after much deliberation and considerations, I have decided to leave my service dog with my sister in Paris.
I begin my journey April 5th from SJPP.
Cheers!

Hello C3, I'm still in the decision making process on this. The logistics aren't really a concern, other than not having a place to stay over night. It is very rare that I have any issues in the US, other than one bad experience in Chicago. If you keep an eye out here, sometime around April...
Hello Gypsywind, I won't be starting until after April 7th at the earliest, most likely mid April. If you are taking a leisurely pace, I may catch you. It is looking like I'm going to be the guy with the black Labrador retriever.
Buen Camino!
