That is brilliant! Right now our guestroom is my dog Sophie's room when we do not have guests. I think my inlaws would figure it out though, if I took out the queen-size guest bed for absolutely no reason. I'm not even sure that would stop them, either. They don't sleep in the same bed for whatever reason (and won't change just because they're away from home) and last time Grandma came along too. Between the three of them, there wasn't a single room in the house unoccupied (Mom on couch in open living room/dining room/kitchen, Grandma in guest room, Dad on blow up mattress in the hobby/office room). If they didn't get a hotel then, I'm pretty sure they won't until we tell them they have to get one. I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to give them a grandkid before I can ask them to stay in a hotel without them arguing about it.
Sorry about the inlaw-hyjack. I probably should just start a new thread altogether to bitch about them. My point is: I'm soooo jealous of both your set-up for your dog and the freedom you have from your inlaws.
Here is my dog's picture. She is a Pekingese, but we have her groomed short to keep our house from becoming a haven for her hair clumps.
