After a run in last year with a motel manager that wanted us to pay $20 a day to allow my Pug to stay with us in a funky beach front motel I investigated and ultimately secured official certification for him as an Emotional Support Animal. Heh, heh. So I had my official wallet card picture i.d. ready when the same manager hit me up for the $20/day yesterday. “Oh really, does it still apply even if he has Federal Certification?” I asked. OMG. His change of demeanor from snarky to supplicant was incredible. Sunbeams shot through the parting clouds. Nice. I always love a sunny day at the beach.
