Enjoy the ride.
Who do you think has a better time on vacation – you or the critters? Do you take said critters on vacation with you, or do you leave them to their own devices? Have you ever received a call from your local police department regarding a ruckus at your residence while you were away on vacation? Did it end up with someone being grounded from going outside or belly rubs while lying on the couch with you?
I usually leave my cats at home out of necessity. As dedicated attention whores, they dislike this.
Ah yes. I have often suffered from the same malady. Now though, it’s only coming from a 53 pound furball who insists she is actually a lap dog. As proven by the numerous mysteriously appearing bruises on my legs….
I have a dog – so no leaving her own her own during vacation! If it’s a road trip, we usually take her. Flying means either leaving her with a family member or boarding her. She seems to really love vacations and LOVES hotel rooms – new smells and she can hide out under the hotel desk, which she oddly enjoys!
I think every single walk is like a vacation for the Wonder Mutt….all those new smells!
