What do you think?


I was thinking....when we go on our honeymoon I suppose we will put Daisy in a kennel (feel bad ) And my mom said she would watch Harley, BUT honestly I don't trust her. Just because my sister and her 3 year old live there and I don't feel comfortable with Rylee around him. I've seen her try to pick him up by his neck even when i told her not to pick him up. And my sis and my mom aren't crazy animals lovers/protectors like I am so I think they will let her do what she wants or not watch them close enough.  She is mean to MY dog Callie (didn't take her when i moved out). I want to bring him with but Evan doesn't...what should I do?

Wow, that's a tough one.  You sure want to leave him somewhere that you will feel at ease about, otherwise you will worry your whole Honeymoon about him.  I'd either take him, or kennel him someplace that you feel is a really good place.  I can sort of understand that Evan wouldn't really want to take him... I just don't know.  I hope you can work something out.  Is there any other family or friend that you could leave him that would work out well?  Good luck!

You might just have to tell Evan that you are not going to be at ease unless Harley goes with you.  Maybe he will decide that he is ok with that.  I hope you can work it out.

We are going to Mexico, so I'd have to pay extra to bring him on the plane and I doubt you can have pets in the resorts, Im going to look that up right now. Gosh what a mother has to do for her baby! I seriously would cry if i had to spend a day without him, he is so adorable i can't stand it, really!

I'm not sure where you live but I bet you can find a great kennel or pet sitter in the area unless you are way out in the boondocks. I would want to have him somewhere safe here than in Mexico. Many kennels take great care of the dogs, with lots of personal attention, and are not just a bunch of cages where they throw the poor things a bone now and then!

Speaking from a professional poiint of view (many years of marriage counseling!!!) - I encourage you and Evan to find a solution together, and make sure that your relationship with Evan is your priority. Yes, I know you love your dog, but your husband will (hopefully!!) be with you many years more than Harley.

I'll be praying for you that you find a great solution so Harley will be happy and safe and you guys can enjoy your honeymoon.

Blessings - Lin

I WILL BABYSIT!!! HAHHA, ILL JUST FLY OUT FROM VANCOUVER TO WHEREEVER YOU ARE! Just let me know when and where....haha.


 


Sorry I know that doesnt really help.


DO you have a really good friend that could maybe come by 3-4 times a day to walk him and feed him? He might feel best being in his own home, maybe you could envite someone you trust to stay at your hosue with him?

Oh, I dont envy your position! Hugs! I think if it was me and my Chi I would opt for a good kennell. If you dont feel you can trust anyone in your family to look after him in the way you'd wish you'd be worrying your whole honeymoon if Harley was ok. That would be even more work for Evan than if you took Harley along with you! Where is your honeymoon going to be? I had to put Ellie in a kennell for a couple of nights in June so I made sure I found a small, close-knit, family feel one where I knew she'd be made a fuss of. I gather she spent a lot of her time there in the owner's kitchen with them, eating chicken! If I had to go away without her in the future I'd feel safe leaving her there again.

Love, Jess x

Kennels are not that bad, I have done it and my dogs were well cared for and perfectly fine.  You do feel bad, not sure what you can do about that, but they will be just fine in the kennel.  I always have my guys share a cage, I know that may not be possible with Daisy and Harley, but that helps too.


Anyhow, lets us know what you decide to do.

When we went on our honeymoon (recently), we took Radar with us. I didnt wanna leave him in a kennel since he was so scared of strangers. And, I didnt wanna leave him with the "in laws". So, we just loaded him up too and went to Gatlinburg...LoL

When I first got Ellie I thought that some time during her first year I would put her in Kennells for a night or two just to get her used to it incase I ever needed to use one. I put her in a Kennell for two nights a little while ago and am pleased that I did. It went well and I would now feel able to do it again in the future. I think I agree with Sattie on this one.

Love, Jess x
