Melissa:
To begin with HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!!!
Do you have anybody you can trust that would stay in your house, or a friend that would be willing to have Presley while you're away?
I know exactly how you feel; worrying about Presley could stop you from enjoying your vacation. Many years ago, when I had my first Golden, I went to Florida to spend the Christmas holidays with my brother and his family and left Natasha in a kennel. The trip was supposed to last for two weeks but the day after Christmas I was so worried about her that I came back home, at the risk of offending my sister-in-law. I have never kenneled a dog since. Whenever I travel I have somebody stay in my house. I must admit I've been very lucky to find people I could trust and hope you can find somebody too. Good luck!
