I would miss my dogs terribly after like 3 days. If I'm gone for two weeks, I'm taking the furry dummies with me.

I've left my dogs at kennels up to ten days.

The dog I thought would have issues at the kennel loved it there. She first had to go to daycare to be evaluated for overnight stays. She passed the test and was allowed back. When we returned to leave them for the trip she was super excited when she realized where she was. Same reaction for later visits.

I left my dog home for a week with my roommate, came back and he'd lost weight with her telling me he refused to eat for days. Never going to do that to him again.

All I can think of is "but what if it's a vacation to Australia? Or the Bahamas? Or anywhere else that's not Europe?"
