I guess I should have had kids. Then I would have had a built in babysitter.

Will let you know how it all turns out as hoping to go away in late Nov for 7 days.
I know its more my problem letting go.
Never have I had a dog that tugs on your heart strings like my little Sophie has. Will take some time as I have gone from 100 lb dogs my entire life to 4 lbs and I feel sooooo protective of her.
P.S. A have now found three of her puppy teeth. She is growing up.
