Just an update on my vacation and leaving my dog....
yeah...We left on Saturday, drove to Northern Ca. My wake up call was my brother at 5:30am telling me my mom was in the hospital with a rapid heartbeat. She was ok, the doctors were testing her for stress/anxiety, etc. We had breakfast, got back on the road heading for Oregon...
I got a call about 10am from the neighbor keeping Copper. She said that Copper wasn't eating and that he was crying/whining all the time. This wasn't going to work. (My brother was my emergency dog sitter and he was currently sitting in the hospital with my mom.) So...I said I would call my son. I didn't ask my son originally because they just had a baby plus they have a 5 year old.
My son agreed to go and get Copper but couldn't get there right away. So then I called another neighbor with a teenage girl to see if they could go get Copper in the meanwhile and take him to my house. They went right away. The daughter stayed with Copper at my house until my son could get him. Copper was fine.
To make a long story short...ha ha...my son and his family ended up keeping Copper all week. They treated him extremely well even letting them sleep in their bed between them. Their 5 year old daughter loved having him. (She is actually very good with him...)
I was very grateful to my son...I had a t-shirt made for him that said, "Mom likes me best!" and gave it too him when I got back. I also paid them what I would have paid the neighbor even though they protested.
What a blessing to have good neighbors and family!
