I am getting ready to go on vacation for ten days without Murph. He is almost 11 months old and I have never spent a night without him. I'm not sure I am going to make it! I already miss him and I am not even gone yet!
He is such a cutie I can understand your sadness. Are you boarding him or will someone stay with him at your house? We have only left Max for a weekend and it was hard. Where are you going?
I couldn't stand the thought of boarding him. He will be staying at his trainer's house so he will be in excellent hands and will have her two dogs to play with. I am sure he is going to have a blast. I am the one that will go all to pieces! Just thinking about not being able to kiss his little nose every morning is making me sad :(
I hope you can enjoy your vacation, but I sympathize with you too. My aunt and uncle drive 550 miles to my house to watch mine while I am on vacation. True love :)
I just went through that last week - didn't see Peri for a week and we boarded her at her daycare. We have left her before, but with my parents and I never worried about her. This time I checked her out on the webcam every chance I could - she was loving life playign with her sis all day long. DH picked her up yesterday morning after I had left for work - I got home last night, dropped everything and she RAN to me and started swatting me and hugging me. It was the best feeling! Just something to look forward to after vacation :)
My husband and I took a trip this summer and had to leave Buddy for 9 days. Thankfully we were able to drop him off at my parents house on the way so we knew he was in good hands. But I missed him so much! At least Murphy knows where he will be and I am sure everything will be just great! Have a great trip!
It sounds like he's going to have a great time at his trainer's house...what could be better than that! I do understand how you're feeling though. You need to try to have a wonderful vacation and just know that he's doing fine, and this is actually good for him.
It is hard to imagine a day with out a doodlekiss I know. I have to travel quite a bit for work and I still hate saying bye. Ofcourse I want to hug and kiss and get all gushy saying goodbye, but I don't want to stress them out especially because I know Murphy will pick up on my anxiety as he is very sensitive to our emotions.
One thing you can do,if you can get the trainer to send you text or email pictures, that always helps me when I see him happy. If you think it will make you sadder, don't do that then. Just an idea. I do it with my daughter when she's away from her doodle and she really appreciates seeing him while away. Have a nice time on your vacation.
