Vacation....Feeling Guilty In a few days my family and I will be heading out to Florida (Disneyworld) for vacation (for a week) and I'm feeling soooooo guilty leaving Oakley behind. Well, not actually leaving him behind but leaving him with my sister. My sister lives about 2 hours away and we'll be dropping him off as we pass through MS. My sister is an absolute animal lover and has one dog (a pug) and two cats, the second cat actually adopted my sister, lol. She is great with animals! If you want that story, let me know and I'll tell you. So why am I feeling terrible? One day my daughter and I left for a couple of hours and my son texted me asking when I was coming home because Oakley was at the front door crying. I was heartbroken! Another time my son sent me a picture text wherein Oakley was sitting in the living room facing the front door! I am so worried that he'll do the same at my sister's house and she assures me that they'll have so much fun that he won't miss me. Do any of y'all have separation anxiety from your furry ones? |
I absolutely feel your pain. There are so many places we use to go on vacation that I refuse to consider now. I just can't leave my babies for that long. Just going back to work in August is going to kill me.:( |
With today's technology, at least I can face time him on the phone :).. |
Yep, it's me that has the separation anxiety not Princess Sophie. For her it's kind of out of sight out of mind while I stress every minute we are apart. LOL Does that make me lame?? |
Not at all....I know he will have lots of fun and I believe me I want him too but I feel if he has too much fun, he won't miss us at all. My sister tells me he'll be fine and I'm crazy to think the way I do. She was actually in town Father's Day weekend and had the nerve to ask if she could bring Oakley home with her. I said, not gonna happen because I can't go three weeks without him!!! |
I know what you mean; I hated having to board Minnie, but most of the times I left it was to go to national parks, which are extremely dog unfriendly (a lot of those places are pretty people unfriendly too, e.g., thin air, bears, thunderstorms, rough terrain, etc. ) |
I can relate! We recently went to Spain for 10 days. I had all the same feelings you did before we went! I left Pasquale with my parents. They treat him like a prince!! He is spoiled rotten...and was for the 10 days that we were gone! When we got back....i actually felt back taking him home, since he was having so much fun there! I think your dog will do fine. He's going to have a pug to play with!!! I definitely think its US that have the separation anxiety!! |
Ugh I feel your pain!!! I love to travel but have not done a lot since I got Jackson. I just can't stand to leave him for too long. It's mostly me, I know he is very well taken care of at my dads house, but my dad said he is definitely different without me. I think the longest I left him was 6 nights and that just seemed like SOOO long. When we do Disney, we stay at their campground so we can bring the dogs! LOL... |
I feel your pain. But it sounds like your baby will be in very good hands. If I were in your shoes, I would try to focus on my family during the trip because I know at my house my family can sometimes take a back seat to my fur babies. Yes, you will miss Oakley, but think of the joy you will have when you are reunited. |
I barely leave chester, it is very hard, I feel your pain |
I know how you are feeling... We always go on vacations where the dogs can go, because I can't leave the dogs. The longest I've ever left them is two nights. So hard! |
I wish I had a sister like yours. When absolutely needed, I'll leave them at daycare but I would much prefer family. When I do go out for errands and such, I start getting nervous if I've been out for longer than 3 hours. I think I'm the one that has separation anxiety. LOL |
I know how you feel. I hate to even leave my dogs for the day. Now that we own a house we don't have the money to really go on vacation so thank goodness we did it all when we were animal free. |
