I'm so torn! :(

Angie and Brendon wouldn't be doing anything wrong leaving the dogs as long as they were in caring hands. I know that they love M&M more than basically anything, they'd never abandon them or leave them with someone they're unsure of. Angie and Brendon both really deserve this trip, and there's nothing wrong with them taking it.

But I know that you guys will make the decision that you feel is the best, so I'll support that decision 100%!

I am really hoping that we are able to make this trip. For me this is probably one of the best opportunities I have ever had, because this trip would satisfy all of my remaining requirements for my Spanish Minor (which would take me another full semester to finish otherwise), as well as give me a very important resume builder (since I am hoping to go into bi-lingual web design with some software translation on the side). The biggest downside however, is being away from my puppies, and possibly even my wife. I feel that it is best though, because it enables me (and if Angie goes it will also have major benefits in her profession) to someday get a job which will allow us to buy a house (with plenty of room for our Yorkie-butts to run and play) and live life to the fullest. I hope no one thinks that we would just leave our babies so we can run off and play... this is a huge decision for us.

You won't need any more resume builders if you get that job you've been talking about.

But yes, I definitely think Brendon should go. There are far more benefits from him going than me. Besides, my mom needs me here too. She has surgery to remove cancer mid-April. She might not be well enough to be alone by the end of May. That's only six weeks. The more I think about it, the more I feel I should stay here and take care of the puppies and my family. I just got caught up in the moment yesterday I think.

Just the fact that you two are putting so much thought into all of this shows what great yorkie parents you are! I've known people who've left their skin kids with less thought than this! Brendon, you need to go, even if Angie can't accompany you. It's important for your future and that's where you are in life right now, preparing for your future. Just think of all of those puppy kisses (and Angie kisses) you'll get when you get back!
