What happens to your Yorkie when you go away on vacation?

I take them with me.

I let a friend or relative keep them at their house.

I leave them home and have somene come each day to check on them.

I take them to a kennel.

I never go away on vacation.

I goofed.
This was my first time coming up with a poll and I messed up and can't edit it.
My response is that I take my Yorkie with me.

I am going to China and my best friend will be watching Stewie. They adore each other.

On my recent 2 trips (first to the grand canyon and then to South America) neither of my dogs have come. My fiance & I both went to the Grand Canyon so we had a friend come over and pet sit. When I went to South America my fiance stayed home, so he watched them. Prior to these 2 trips, both dogs have come with us. Although with past trips we've never flown, we've driven everywhere with them. I'm sure in the future when flying, they'll be left home with a pet sitter

I don't go anywhere and since I have no one to watch Lily, I guess that's not likely to change.

In the past year I had been traveling alot from coast to coast literally. If I flew on the plane or drove for 25 hours straight. I always took Artie with me, sure we had to make more pit stops for him, but that gave me more of an excuse to make it a leisurely trip instead, with no schedules and more time to explore and shop! Now that I have 2, a male and a female their needs and personalities are so different it is very hard to accomodate both of them. For now I am not scheduled to do any extensive traveling. But I think if I do go on a short vacation a week maybe at the longest, I would leave both of them at my Local Breeders home since she has Abigail's Mom & Brother, plus another friend-Yorkie male to play with. I would feel sorry for her since that would make it a total of 5 all together. And she does'nt charge me and she treats them like her own. Plus, if the Hotel did not allow pets I would sneak him in, but "Days Inn", always accomodates me they may charge an extra $10.00 to $20.00 but that's nothing for them.

So far we have always taken them with us. I'm always on the lookout for pet friendly destinations and hotels because I want to include them if it's possible. We are going to Austin in September though and will probably not be able to take them so I'm trying to figure out what to do.

rrosenberry · 07-14-2005, 07:00 AM

Yeah,, what is a vacation,,, You go away,,, away from home... you dont stay home and clean,and do yardwork??

...

I have yet to take a " go away" vacation,,, but if I did, and I couldn't take Bailey with me , he would stay at " grandmas".

We are renting our usual house down the shore. I plan on bringing Tucker with me. Rusty always goes to the kennel but I could never board this little guy. I would be a nervous wreck. We aren't supposed to bring pets, but since I'm training him to be my service dog they can't say anything. I guess future vacations will only be in places where we can bring him!

JCarlson2004 · 07-14-2005, 11:10 AM

It depends where I am going. When I go visit my in-laws, my dogs come with me. If I am going to PA overnight or NJ overnight or even driving some place for a few days, I take them always. But when I go to islands - like when I went to the Dominician Republic for 2 weeks for vacation, I did not bring them. I am afraid of having them stolen.
