I thought about getting some one to stay at my house, but most people work and I don't have a fence so she goes out by a lead to potty and I would be more afraid of someone here than at Paula's house. I went up and down a long list of friends in my head and would not trust any of them to watch Lola for a variety of reasons. Same goes for my parents, they have watched my sister's yorkie a bunch at their house but my dad forgot and left the side gate open once and Lucy went missing for about 4 days. I am not even sure I would trust my sister, she will often let Lucy out and forget she did. When you think of it trusting someone to watch your dog is a huge deal even at your own home. My husband had a friend from work who loved dogs, did a bit of rescue, her dad was a vet, she watched someone's dog from work and the dog somehow dug pretty quickly under a fence and got out and got hit by a car and killed. Can you imagine having that happen to you when watching someones dog, I shudder just thinking about it. OK I better stop posting about all this stuff before I decide to tell my husband I am not going skiing with him
