Another Plan
Now that we are moving down (as snowbirds) this fall, we really don't want to put our 12 yr old dog in a new kennel when we travel. So - we're going to try this solution for the 2 trips we have planned this winter.
We have several friends/relatives who have hinted about coming to visit us (as happens when you live in Florida and are moving from cold country). So - I am lining up dog/house sitters. I already have a couple lined up for our Feb. cruise and will start looking for a commitment for an expected Jan. trip as soon as I get it booked.
We will probably need to supplement these with local dogsitters in TV, but am hoping we can trade off with some neighbors for a couple of days here and there. Since we live in a CYV neighborhood, many of our neighbors have dogs.
There are other threads about visitors, and I am in the group that likes to have visitors, but a 3-4 day visit is my preference. I figure we can visit for a day or two before we leave, then can get them a resident guest pass while we're gone and hope that it will be one of those win/win situations.
