Sandra, I’m afraid if I leave Chester at the vets he’ll definitely be completely stressed out. I know he’ll have a bout of pancreatitis and I really need to avoid that, he’s had so many and it’s already done so much damage.

Kim, I wish she could come and stay at my house, but she has two 5 year olds so that isn’t possible. There’s really no one else that I trust enough with my furkids other than my own sister, but she can’t do it for a lot of reasons.

There’s really no worry about them getting into things they shouldn’t. We’ve got our house very god proofed since they’re always allowed freedom in the house. Occasionally we forget and leave something out and Millie gets it, but they never chew furniture or anything like that. Our yard is pretty escape proof; we have chicken wire attached to the fence, and it’s underground about 1 foot. We also have large landscaping bricks around the perimeter of the fence.

I’m just worried about them being alone for so long.
