Awww, he'll be fine though. It is hard to leave them knowing they'll be sad and miss mommy and daddy! My hubby and I left our yorkie, Sully, with our inlaws when we went to Gatlinburg last December, and it was hard to do. He was still so little then!
PS. My husband and I live in Charleston, SC now.....but we met while working at Dixie Stampede in Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg in 2002. We both went to school in the Knoxville area and so were waiting tables thru college. It's a fun place! Go there if your golf gets snowed out
