I agree she may feel more secure in her own surroundings.
I will be traveling to China - Shanghai to be exact. Very excited as this is my first trip outside of the US. |
I bet you are excited about your trip! I went to China in 2004 for 6 weeks and I had a hard time adjusting but I grew to love it. Its just so different there! I spent most of my time in Shanghai and then a little less than a week in Beijing. You will have to share pictures when you get back.
As for kenneling/finding someone come to your home... we are in that same situation right now. Where we have 4, its difficult to travel (even on a day trip) and sometimes it would be less stressful to take them (especially if its to someone's house who is not a big fan of furry ones). Last year on vacation (when we just had 2) we had friends take care of them (at their apartment) but I think they got stressed out (they had just gotten a new puppy) having 3 so.... the hunt is on again. We then found another sitter but they already have 3 inside dogs and adding 4 more (making 7 PLUS they have 7 kids under the age of 12) makes for a very busy and full house and the dad just wasn't having it. So.... yeah... we may have to split them up (Dozer and then keep the little ones together) when going out of town for a long time b/c its a lot to ask someone to keep 4 (even if you are paying them)...
