Slippery Pete,
I wouldn't take her with me. I dont really see the point of having her sitting there and just watching. It's like going to a restaurant and having a delicious cheese burger, while a tasty peice of chocolate cake sits there, except you're not allowed to have the chocolate cake once you've finished your burger. If she's allowed to join the festivities, that would be grand, but having her sitting there just watching, no thanks.
