Haha TaxLady... I will def try that! wear a good sized shirt for the next 5 or so days lol and then put it in the kennel with her

Maybe she'll like that, she's a total cuddler with me so maybe if she can cuddle with something that smells like me it'll help

Where do you get those pattys? Any certain fast food place? [We dont eat fast food except when we're on the road or have a late night haha]
And FosterMom, I wish she could stay with Pooter, but she doesn't get along with the lady's other [big schnauzer] dog, she runs and hides and whines/yelps because their dog is sooooo hyper :/ SO i don't want her to be stressed for 2 weeks. Pooter does well with their dog because he sticks up for himself and nips the dog on the nose as to say "calm down I don't like your rowdiness" and she totally leaves him alone.
Plus Tikka has a UTI and is on meds/in diapers so I don't want someone else to be incharge of her pills and she's going to get spayed while we're in Iowa. [$250 in Peace River vs $80 in Des Moines!]
The people she's staying with in Iowa are going to give us a key to their house so we can go over there whenever we want and hang out with tikka
