Dog Welcome if Quit, Clean and Not Too Geant

This is the response I got via email when I inquired for hotel reservations. After much mulling over I realized that he means: "Dog welcome if QUIET, CLEAN and not too GIANT." A little lost in translation.

And not sure if my dog qualifies as giant or not. Furry, yes, but giant?

And then the fact that we have 3 children is a bit of an issue apparently. German families have 1 child... maybe 2 children if they are a larger family. Three is unheard of. So hotel rooms have a double bed, or in rare cases, a double bed with a single bed (for your one child). And the thought of squeezing a family of 5 into a 3-bed room (dreisbettezimmer) is just not possible. Sleeping on the floor, using sleeping bags, not an option. Five people? Must have five beds. So I have to book two rooms- one for the adults and one fur die kinder.

Hopefully the kids will be QUIT and not too GEANT.

Too funny. As far as dogs go, she is pretty big, no? But, she is SO quit for a such a geant pet.
I guess we better not move to Germany. Hotels are hard enough here.....
Have a great trip!

uh... yes, your dog is GEANT. They don't really come any bigger than Sequoia, do they? :)
