I know how you feel as well!!
I can't stand the fact that my husband wants to go out west on vacation for a week or 10 days this fall and I freak out everytime he talks about it because I've never been away from my pups for more that 3 days before.
I don't wanna go on vacation ( but I've always wanted to go out West... )
Kay hit the nail on the head, pups sure do find a way to wrap us around their paws!!
