[Wiggy]

I want to drive 8 hours tomorrow morning to take a mini-vacation for 2-5 days. I cannot make the decision as to whether or not to take my Yorkie, Wiggy.

Wiggy (and me too) is VERY co-dependent. He is by my side every minute I'm home, and lately I've been home a lot. I've left him for week-10 day long trips before, but only if I feel he is 100% safe and has proper companionship with a human he knows well.

Wiggy loves my roommate, but he isn't home that much. He committed to be home all day tomorrow, and he always comes home at night. He promised he would spend enough time with Wiggy, but I'm not 100% sure he will.

I don't want to take Wiggy with me because there are some places he won't be able to go and then he'll be left alone in a strange place. Plus, he's never been on a car ride longer than 2 hours. I have to put him in a harness and then leash the harness to the headrest in my car or else he gets on my lap. I could create a barrier from the backseat, but then he would be out of petting range for 8 hours.

What would you do? If I don't feel Wiggy will be okay, I won't go. Am I just too worried? There are no other options for Wiggy until Tuesday and then he can stay with my mom, and that is okay.
