Vacation Guilt

[Chris & Boys]

On our yearly trek to Gilbert AZ we leave behind our beloved Fozzy Bear.  We found a wonderful family to watch him while we are gone.  I interviewed several dogsitters and fell jn love with this family once I saw the way Fozzy and and they reacted to one another.  They send me daily pix and updates on him.  He is having so much fun with them and their dog he may not want to come home.

Because I know he is in such good hands I havent felt the least amount of guilt about leaving him behind.  This morning I was driving to the store and I spotted tjis enormous beautiful doodle being walked down the road and bam it hit me like a brick wall.....guilt.  I tjinh the dm and dd must have thought I was some type of nut the way I was staring at their beautiful baby.  I was tempted to pull over and ask if I could play with their dog so I could get my doodle fix.  So maybe it isnt really guilt....maybe I am just in need of some doodle kisses!  But it is now a little more appealing to think about having to go home.....

I guess that will be the bittersweet thing about vacations now!  Happy to go on vacation/sad to leave doodle.  Then, sad to leave vacation/happy to see doodle.

I know it is hard, but you are so LUCKY that you found some place great for your dog while you are on vacation.  I hope you all have a great time.

LOL!  Nancy - I'm glad its not only me!  Yep, if I see a doodle or a golden I instantly turn to mush!!!

We have recently joined a motorcycle club and have begun taking weekend trips with them - obviously without dogs.  I feel so bad when we drive by people walking their Doodles or Springers; it makes me wish our guys were with us.
