Amazing. My four dogs somehow know I'm going to the TX roundup next week. As with you, no suitcase out or anything. They are on me like glue...guiltguiltguilt. It's only for a long weekend and my son will be here but they just know and know they don't like it When I was in Boston for a conference in Feb. the mom dog and one of the "kids" wouldn't eat until I returned. arggggh!!
