I feel the same way and totally understand, however I did have to go away for a week and couldnt take my boys and was wondering how I was going to make it through the week, but you know what? The time flew by and I was sooo busy and everyday was so packed that at night I crashed and slept! I had to have busy days so I slept through the nights w/o my babies!
girl, go be with your family and enjoy your once in a lifetime trip with your kids! Leave your fur babies with a responsible friend or relative who will not mind you calling every hour and will take really good loving care of them!
I love my babies sooooo very very much, but for a weeks experience I have left them behind and as much as I missed them, I am so glad I got to have that experience, even if it was w/o them!
