I went to see my mom for a week in May and left my boys with my bf at the time. My boys absolutely LOVED him so it was good for me to know how they would be happy with him for a week. I missed them LIKE crazy! Night was the worst when they were not sleeping with me ... so I told my mom if I come for Xmas they are coming. No more leaving them behind to visit her! She wants me there so badly so its not a problem! She has 2 little dogs of her own and one is 1/2 yorkie so she is starting to understand the yorkie love! hahaha
you can do it!
Enjoy your time off... I know its not a job when you love them to pieces.. but imagine how much lighter your arm will feel for 5 days without a dog on it!
