Your welcome Billye, I'm glad I was able to help

I know how hard it is to leave pets at home when traveling. When my husband had testicular cancer, he and I had to travel to Indiana to see the #1 doctor in the world because the local doctors did not know what to do next to treat my husbands cancer.

Anyway, we had to go and we were going to be away from home for 10 days. I made arrangements for my dog (chelsea) to stay at my fathers home with my parents and siblings. Chelsea and I used to live there with my family, so I knew she would feel safe and I knew she would be well cared for.

But, my biggest panic attack about leaving to go to Indiana was because I was worried about my dog. I didn't panic about the cancer, or the visit with the super-specialist doctor, and I wasn't worried about how the trip would affect my own health, or the money aspect of having to travel to Indiana in a rental car and be at a hotel for over a week -- my biggest worry about the trip to Indiana was my dog... and I called my sister 3 times a day to check on how Chelsea was doing.

So, I can completely understand your worries, and I do hope that your dogs can learn to feel comfortable with the sitter, because that is what will help you feel comfortable and have fewer worries on your trip.

Take care,
Liz
