btw, I forgot to mention. My Jessica, who actually was always number one dog, became her normal. selfish girl, never missed Polinka

, and very happy now. just a princess. so we back to our routine.... in 2010 we were hardly hiking because of Polinka.... long hiking was not a good idea in Polinka's case.
and I could't leave her for a long alone....
Thank you all and wish no one of you has same experience.
