Oh I know how you feel! And it's funny, but I really miss Lexie's smell too. We go to Cabo every year & i miss her soooo much, but since we found a really great place to board her, I don't worry. She even plays with the other small dogs there, which she otherwise NEVER does. So I think she's happy. I just look at her pics & videos alot.
Whistler is so beautiful!! You'll have an awesome time!!
