Does anyone go on holiday?? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Shanatink · 01-04-2006, 12:44 PM

I went on a cruise back and November and I missed my little furbabies so much. Really I mostly worried about them. As thier mother, I dont feel like anyone else can take care of them as good as I. They were just fine when I got home but still I couldnt help but worry. It was fun coming home to millions of puppy kisses!

I went away in November for 12 days without Olivia. I intended to take her with me, but decided against it as the time neared. She stayed with my mom and was fine. I called my mom every day to see how she was doing, though! (The woman raised me, you'd think I'd have some confidence in her!) If at all possible, I will be taking Olivia with me on future vacations. We boarded our family dogs a few years ago and we couldn't stand leaving them in a strange place. I'm lucky that I have a few people in my family with who I would trust Olivia if I had to leave her, but I realize that everyone isn't so lucky.

We get a house down the shore and take Tucker with us. I don't know what I would do with him if I couldn't take him. I'd miss him terribly and anyone who watched him would kill him! (j/k)

When we stay at a hotel we almost always try and do things where they can go with us, although there are times that they have to stay behind and we just leave them some toys, a peepad and food/water...they have always done fine by themselves so we don't really worry about them destroying anything!!!

I know I am pathetic but I only plan vacations that can include Shelby now. We are planning a ski trip but going with relatives so my husband can ski. I don't care about skiing anymore, though I might try cross-country b/c dogs are allowed

We stay at Petfriendly places and I take the pup in my purse when we go out.

She goes everywhere with me. Last week she saw King Kong.

I told you I am pathetic.

Yes, I've left Rowdy for 2 weeks - BUT it was on a trip that was booked and paid for LONG before we even thought about getting him. Its was a cruise so there was no way he could go. Since then we have not left him and it would be very hard to do. We are going to northern CA and OR in May and he is definitely going with us.

Yes, we have stayed in a motel with Rowdy and left him to go to a funeral - where obviously, he couldn't go. It worried me to death, because I was afraid of the hotel personnel coming in and stealing him.

He just stayed on the bed - we put him there when we left and he was too little to get on the bed and he was still there when we got back, so I know he didn't get down.

When we travel to CA and OR in the spring, we will be staying in hotels and yes, we will probably have to leave him a time or two in the 2 weeks we'll be traveling. It is worrisome.

Welcome Yorkiepip. I rarely go on vacation and most of the time they are "working" vacations to horse sale events. The vast majority of the time we take the three Yorkies and the Boo the Boxer with us and we all stay in our horse trailer with living quarters.

Unless our oldest son will be at home, hubby and I NEVER leave our furkids home.

This year we are doing something different by staying in a pet friendly beachouse on St.George's island in Fla.With 2 new puppies I worry the whole time if I left them in a kennel.Cathy and Yoshi

Bella Bear · 01-04-2006, 08:08 PM

Bella is actually being boarded right now as I type! My boyfriend and I are in Hawaii right now, leaving tonight and she's being boarded for the first time ever. I knew that it would be hard but I didnt realize how how hard it would be until I dropped her off, got back into the car and started to cry! I miss her so so much and can't wait to pick her up tomorrow. The boarding facility she is staying at is cage free and probably nicer then some hotels I've stayed at! They even email me picture updates of her to let me see how she's doing. And since she's been there for over three days, they will give her a free bath so she'll be all nice and groomed by the time I pick her up tomorrow!
