I'm okay with rides being a family affair -- as long as I can bring MY
family too, my dog Bailey.  (I don't mind leaving the snakes at home, as
they don't travel well anyway.) She's clean, neat, quiet, well-behaved,
and under my control at all times, no matter where we are. 

Some people don't like dogs.  I can understand and live with that.  I
personally don't like children.  However, I am willing to tolerate your
well-behaved children at camp if you are willing to tolerate my well-behaved 
dog.  :))
