I think I've finally found someone that's as nutty about dogs as I am!

LABSX2 ... We're going to be in the same situation as you. Previously we've always travelled with our dogs. However now that my husband has retired, we're planning to take a Mediterrean cruise, drive around Italy, etc. It's a dilemma indeed.

So our solution is to find a live-in pet sitter because we feel our dogs are least anxious left in their own home. In a small town, that can be difficult. Our back-up plan is to place the dogs in the home of a care giver. We don't want to use a kennel or boarding facility, we want them to have lots of love and attention. All solutions will be very expensive, but we figure, that's the price you pay for having furry friends.
