I know how you feel...last year we've been away on holidays for the first time since Nellie came to live with us!!!
My mom took such good care of her...she came over to our house three times a day (!)...I am still so grateful to her...I've phoned in every evening only to find out that really nothing serious has happened, everything went smooth and fine...but what a welcome it was when we returned home!!!
Nellie dashed out of the gate of our front garden and we fell into each others arms/paws with lots of kissies and hugs...

SO FULLY ENJOY YOUR HOLIDAYS, AND KEEP LOOKING FOWARD TO THE TOPPING OF THE CAKE: THE WELCOME BACK HOME!!!
