Bridget...have your dad drop some trash. Daisy loves trash, doesn't she???? I think you need to snuggle up to Grandpa, frankly. How could he resist you? Maybe you could cry a little bit??? LOL!! I surely wish you could work it out. We beg my dad constantly to buy a beach house that would welcome our dogs since we rent and they aren't allowed . His answer to that request is that if we would all "help" him buy it, we could make it a family beach house!!

I leave for vacation the same day you do, and I absolutely hate to leave all my furry kids as well. But, that's not a good enough excuse to skip a whole week's vacation at the beach! Helen and I are especially excited this year as we will get to meet one of our new internet friends, who has 2 Goldens also. And we're going to volunteer at her shelter for a day while we're there.

Good luck, and let us know what happens.
