* Check with the place you stay and make sure you are allowed to leave them alone in the room while you are gone.

* Are you gonna crate them or leave them with pee pee pads?

* If you leave them loose in the room - VERY IMPORTANT - make sure there is nothing they can get into and get in trouble. Yorkies are very inquisitive and if it is there, they will find it. Oscar has found all kinds of stuff the maid has missed and if he had been alone he would have been in big trouble. Check under the beds, behind all the furniture, put garbage cans up so they can't get into the plastic liners, etc.

If I had to leave Oscar alone in a room, I would have to crate him because he is just that kind of dog...an accident waiting to happen. Hopefully the place will be close enough to the hospital and you can make several trips back and forth to check on them. It would be great if there were a doggy day care or a great vet nearby that could babysit for you...or maybe your children know someone who could watch them for you. I hate that you will be worried about your furkids on such a wonderful day as the birth of a grandchild...but I am sure they will be o.k.

Best of luck on your trip and congrats on that new grandbaby! They are just wonderful. Our grandson is almost 8 months old and such a joy! Hope ya'll have a good time!

I agree 100%!!!
