I'm leaving on thursday morning to go to Hawaii with my dad, stepmom, and brother... it'll be fun but, of course, I feel really guilty about leaving Gonzo! We'll be gone for 8 days!! He will be staying at my mom's house, with plenty of people to baby him. My grandma is staying there for the week before xmas and promised to walk him for 1 hour every morning (she power walks, waay faster than me), and my mom said she'll walk him and play ball with him in the evening. My little sister is coming on Saturday, Gonzo adores her, and she promised to play with him and take care of him. I am giving them a bunch of lists, schedules, and stuff to go by while I'm gone... I'm bringing all of his favorite toys, greenies, bones, treats, and kongs. We also spent $100 at PetsMart this weekend buying "early Christmas presents" for him, to keep him happy.. he got a new Talk-to-me treat ball and lots of treats and kong stuffing things and 2 new Kong toys and just tons of stuff that he loves. My mom has a huge house where he gets free roam, and a huge grassy yard, and a nice neighborhood for walking, and he has spent a ton of time there, but I still feel horrible leaving him. It's like, bittersweet.

anything I forgot? I hope everything goes ok
