It is almost vacation time!   That means that my favorite sister will come and pamper and spoil my two dogs and 19 year old kitty.  They hate to see us leave...but they are so well cared for that sometimes, I think they forget that we are gone.  Sometime my husband's parents take care of them too...and you can tell that they have had a great time.  For me, I can relax knowing that they are in the best and most capable hands of my family.  I am pretty lucky that they will do this - we often take a three week vacation...sadly for all of us...this time it will only be a two week trip to California. 

We have taken them on the family vacations...to the beach...to Maine, etc.  They like the change of scenery - but are just as happy to be at home - I think they like being pampered!
