I actually made reservations at my vet to have them boarded but was at a church picnic last month and an old friend said, "Hey, if you ever need a sitter, let me know." I am so glad she's willing to watch them because now I won't stress the whole time I'm on vacation.
I'm actually from Hawaii - born and raised there
I go back once a year to see my family and friends. It will be the BF's first trip though - so we'll play 'tourist' and definitely take lots of pics - LOL!
