I've taken month long vacations without my dogs.Yes i do miss them,but i dont mind getting away for a while.And its harder to take larger dogs b/c hotels only take dogs that weigh up to 50 lbs or whatever.
You dogs wont hate you for leaving them for a couple of days .I just wait to come home and see how excited they are to see me
And plus when you have dogs with you,you cant do as much as you want to.and we cant take our dogs on most of our vacations we go on.We fly up to Canada every year and it would be expensive to fly them up,and plus some of our relatives arent dog people
