I have to leave my girls
 

for 6 days :( while I go on vacation which I really dont even want to go, this has to be the absolute worst time of year to go on vacation. Its just too busy of a month to be going out of town but I did not get any say in it:rolleyes: . We are goign on a cruise with my husbands work (Im not complaining I just wish they would have done it anytime of year other than a week and a half before christmas)

Tink and Penny are staying at my mother in laws which is not a place I really want them to stay at :(
I know my MIL will take care of my Tink & Penny but I still really worry about them and I worry she will leave them outside too long and they will run away like her own dog does once a week. I told her she cant leave them outside and I told her I prefer someone go outside with them to keep thier eye on them. They dont have a very good fence so Im already worrying to death about it.


Chloe on the other hand is lucky- she gets to stay with her best friend Sadie (A fellow YT member). Im very excited about this because I know Christie will post pictures for me so while Im on the cruise I can get onto YT and see my baby!!! :love: YAY!!!

But anyways everyone please send happy thoughts for poor Penny & Tink. They are probobly going to think I abandoned them.

I thought vacations were supposed to be fun? So far Im dredding having to go :(

I already miss my girls and I havent left them yet.

Aww Shana - I can totally understand!
Your babies will be fine - you have to remember not to worry Toooo much because they can pick up on it.
If you are calm they will be happy.
Have a great vacation!!

Ohhhhh How sad..... But hey You need a break right! who knows maybe your MIL will do better than you could ever think She did raise your Hubby right???? ;) Please don't worry to much and Go and have fun. that is why they call it a vacation :)

I worry about my pups everytime I go on vacation. Last May we went on a cruise to Alaska. It was a great time and we came home to all the pups doing great. My daughter watched them for us. She does a good job but is also gone a lot during the day, and with friends etc. I still worry. When we got into port I would be able to use my cell phone and call to say "hi".

Try to have a good time.

Oh, I know how you feel ... I went to see a friend in FL who has stage IV lung cancer .... couldn't take Monday ... even though I left Monday with my daughter, I worried so much!
All was fine but my heart was not into the visit (which was a downer to begin with) .... But a cruise is exciting .... You will be busy much of the time. I had inquired once if any cruise line accepts pets .. They said "no".
Have fun ... your babies will love you up more when they see you again ....

You don't have another friend or coworker that will take Tink? I know you will be so worried about your mil's fence...I'd take them all if you lived closer :cool:

Where are you going btw? I hope you get some relaxation and have a nice time with hubby!

Can I help??
 

Where are you sailing out of and what are your exact dates of the cruise? If you are sailing from Galveston, I live near and could probably take care of Tink for you? Just let me know. Donna

I've offered too & would babysit anytime for you girl !! You have a great time and they'll be just FINE.....I was the same way last year....our minds always imagine the worst.

I totally understand how you are feeling. It's so hard to leave the babies! We have a friend that takes care of Jaxon in our home when we go away but luckily it's only been a few days at a time. We're going away for a week in January so that will be tough.

Hope you have a fantastic time on the cruise!!!!

Awww, I know how you feel. I just got my baby last week, and out of the blue my husband asks me "What are you going to do with her when we go to Louisiana for Christmas?" with this look like I know you aren\'t thinking she\'s going to my grandparents house. They really aren\'t dog people, and definitely NO dog in the house. So, now I have this dilemma. A girl at work offered to keep her, and she probably will, but I\'m telling you - I am a very uniform and schedule oriented person, and I just feel like my Cali going somewhere else for 6 days is going to totally break her schedule and what she is used to. I\'m still trying to train her, and I have a feeling my work-friend is going to spoil her terribly. All she keeps saying is I\'m getting a yorkie! I trust her......just........UGGGHHHHHH!! I wanna keep my baby with me!

Try not to worry about Penny and Tink, they will take care of each other like the good sisters they are. Is there any way your MIL could stay at your house, that way you would not worry so much? As for Chloe, she is going to have so much fun with Sadie that she is not even know how long you are going to be gone. Have fun on your trip and relax!!!!!!!

My friends already have 3 dogs each. Penny is too big for anyone to accomodate and no one\'s dog gets along with Tink:rolleyes: Tink can be a bit prisssy.

Well apparently my brother in law is now staying at my house. So now I dont have to worry about the dogs getting lost.

Thats great that you BIL is staying out the house. That would be less stress on you and the dogs. Have fun on your trip!!! Take lots of pics.

Oh good! I think that will work out great for everyone!

Oh and Shana, ENJOY yourself, who knows when you\'ll be taking another vacation. Enjoy your break from work! You deserve it, de-stress!
