I'm already a wreck...

Luckily my cousins are going and they are both pregnant and have young kids, so the only day I'll really be 'away', they will be there with my babies too! No dogs on white water rafting boats. We even looked at the ones that are not so 'wild' - not happening. Can't risk my babies lives. Life jacket or not - they're not going on the river.

I'm feeling better about this already... I also thought, with the dogs, it will keep me out of any shopping center. A bonus for my checking account!!!

I hope that you have a wonderful vacation!! We are looking forward to ours.

True, sometimes small dogs mind better then small children!

Well. Girls... We're here! We left Sunday and have been on the road ever since. We are in Jackson Hole, WY. They did sooooo good traveling! Now, my big test is in the next couple of days... Leaving the babies in the fifth wheel, alone. SCARES ME!

For the future, where in Oklahoma are you? My dad lives there, my husband occasionally does work up there and dog sitting would be great for me to do while he works.... And it would save us on hotel costs and you wouldn't have to pay me as much because of it... Keep it in mind.

but....

Chloe the Yorkie mix that I saved when I lived with my parents is staying home.... My sweet cousin (and his bride-to-be later this year) are going to stay with her the entire time. I am so excited! They are going to have to stay in the crate (inside the fifth wheel) at least while we are white water rafting, but other than that we are good! Thank goodness for my sweet mom and dad! They love my babies!
