Big bad mommy...poor Sparky , he'll be having nightmares or sleeping with one eye open for sure
I find it so amazing how dogs seem to know exactly when things will happen. When we get ready to go shopping, doctor's, visiting or wherever, the dog is always the first to the car. But when we are going out for supper that dog settles on the sofa and won't budge...knowing very well that she has to wait in the car and she does not like that. So she stays home with a treat and waits with no regrets.

But I would NEVER take out my suitcases to traumatize her...
