Who takes care of your furbabies when you take a trip?

THIS is a timely discussion as we will soon be going to Japan for 10 days to see Missy. It has been making me miserable worrying about it! Thankfully, one son and DIL live in town and his work is only a few minutes away and so he comes here for his lunch break and after work. (they are animal lovers - have three kitties and a sweet dog) Weekends, they both come over and watch videos, etc. For this long trip, I had hoped to find a college student to live in but we could not find one and just as well, because I was not real comfortable with that idea. And so, Bryan will watch them as usual - though we have only been gone 3 days at the most before!! Also, he will be unavailable for 2 of the days we are in Japan One dear neighbor has offered to take care of them even though she is not a pet person - she is willing to learn! I had also thought of boarding but know they are much happier in their own home. I am thrilled to be going to see Missy -but my biggest worry is my babies back home I know they mostly sleep - but I do fret over them!! They are used to having me here all the time.
