Found out what was causing the error but not why...
It seems that when I tell my model to not exclude the "pet" field,
that everything works fine. (ie, I select a pet from the dropdown)
When I add it to the exclude list and try to set it manually I get an
error.
What seems to work is allowing the pet selection but then setting it
after I do save(commit=False). I'm trying to set it up as a hidden
field but I keep getting that it's a required field. I can't seem to
figure out how to set a default value. Any ideas why this might be
happening?
