Ditto!

Audie, if you could have seen him when he poked his head through that door and saw us. He was throwing his head back and had a howling bark like finally, they are getting me out of here. But this place is nice. They are way off the road, have a big fenced back yard. I just wish they would take several of them out in the fenced back yard and let them interact with each other but they won't. I am going to tell them he is arthritic and has trouble with injuring his front paw sometimes and that to make sure they take him out several times during the day to walk around. I don't want him laying in that vet 24 hours a day without some exercise in that fenced area. That is if we do get to come. Still unsure of that for other reasons. My parents are in an apartment and don't like dogs, couldn't keep one there if they did and we cannot leave him with my husband's mother in the country because she has about 30 cats and i wouldn't trust her not letting him get out and get lost down there or killed on the highway. So we have no other option.

Could your pupson travel to sowal? You could then board him here and visit him at the kennel. I can not stand leaving my pupchildren and feel your pain. If interested I have the name and number of a kennel in the area.

i feel your pain here - i don't know what i would do if my parents couldn't dogsit for us - dory would be crushed if we boarded her, and i have no doubt she would make herself sick grieving for us. i would probably have to consider cancelling too.

I couldn't agree more with you Audie. The thought of our girls in a kennel (no matter how nice) is just too sad. Boarding is not an option for us - in fact it's almost a form of cruelty. Pet sitters are the way to go if the 'children' must be left behind

And there are so many pet friendly rentals available in this area too ;-)

I don't know. He is the size of a Newfoundland and weighs 100 lbs. He slobbers all over the place and has such long hair, couldn't stand that in our newer car. Yuck! Anyway, we might not be coming if we do not have the money anyway. Good idea though. I've thought about it.

 

[Beach Crazy]

On the contrary, Beach Crazy, I think we're all crazy about your report! It brings the beach closer to us when we read about it at home. And thanks for the warning about beefing up the sunscreen. I got burnt during spring break and it was not funn. You'd think we'd all be savvy enough not to let ourselves get fried, huh? :roll:

Dangit, I peeled a little bit on my back

Great trip report BC. I can't wait to write mine. I think I can tell you what the stomache issue was. If you still have your gallbladder, it was a gallbladder attack. It happened to me. I thought I was dying. Went to the doctor the next day, and discoverd I had many gallstones. Took my gallbladder out, and I haven't had any trouble since. You might want to go the doc just to let him check you out. Since it happened right after a big greasy meal, you can bet that is what is was...Glad you had a great time at the beach!!!!!

Thanks KDW and you are correct. I had another episode Sunday night and stayed in bed Monday, so hubby made me go to the Dr. yesterday. Right now I'm waiting on results from several blood tests. He thinks I may have had a pancreatitis attack in conjuction with the gallbladder attack. I've had fever and everything. I'm scheduled for an ultrasound of my gallbladder and he said we'll go from there on what to do. :shock: I don't want to go under the knife but I will if it means that pain will go away and never come back

I'm sorry your tummy hurts, Beach Crazy. Maybe they will find the cause and take care of it. I had a feeling it was your gallbladder. Good luck. Keep us posted.

 

[Miss Kitty]

Keep us posted on that bad tummy ache, BC! We need you back!

Your welcome, and I sure hope you feel better soon. I never had another pain once they took the old gallbladder out. I am wishing you luck and a speedy recovery if and when you have to have surgery!!!!!! It is not a bad surgery, I felt fine in a couple of days!!!!
