MavericksMission Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 5 weeks away overseas, but I didn't have dogs at the time, just the cats. The cats disowned me for the first couple of days home... typical cats :rolleyes: :laugh: Most I have been away since I have dogs again is 3 days. Maverick doesn't care, Willow throws herself on my feet, saying never leave me again! :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisey Posted February 6, 2012 Author Share Posted February 6, 2012 My 3 year old girl will have a little sook for 5 mins when I leave but the younger one (15 months) I sure probably won't bat an eyelid... They will be super excited when I get home though. My partner (they are very much his dogs too) 6 months ago moved interstate for work and they are handling that really well - super excited when he visits monthly and when I skype they say hi too! I'll have to set my mum up with a skype account! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumabaar Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 I had to leave my crew for a fortnight and missed them like crazy. I am currently planning on spending a month away next year and don't know how I will cope!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pollywaffle Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 We're about to head off for two weeks to mark a milestone birthday for me...and every time I get excited I think about leaving little ones at home with Nanny coming to babysit. Mind you, they are pampered silly and in perfectly safe hands. Husband and I have even discussed how wonderful it will be having a whole bed to ourselves, not have to get up early on weekends to take dogs for walk and the biggest excitement...being able to eat a meal without two pairs of eyes pleading for some small nibble...Now I feel like a disloyal...

Guest donatella Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 I just left mine for 5 days while I had a getaway and she stayed at mums. In that time she ripped up her bed and chewed through mums hairdryer cord. I'm going away again next month for 7 days, I'm hoping she hasn't ruined her chances at staying there again! --- I am here: http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=-27.465185,153.076899 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparkyTansy Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 I've been away a week here and there but either my mum or OH looks after the dogs when I'm away. Most has been up to a week, though... James is most used to being away from me as I swap him out when a friend or my bitch comes into season so can be up to 3 weeks away at a time. I'm going away for 4 weeks soon but again myOH will be staying behind to look after them... I trust him well enough but 4 weeks is a long time with 4 dogs that I am the primary carer of... I hope he will be ok... This is the first time I've been away from Ari and Lulu for longer than a week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dame Aussie Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 3 weeks for an overseas holiday. I'm glad I went but I missed them terribly the whole time and tortured my OH about it My Mum comes and stays with them so I really shouldn't worry but I can't help it. :laugh: I don't even like staying away from them overnight.

pie Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 5 weeks - went to Europe. Dogs stayed with my Mum, who they love, and two of my brothers dogs, and seemed a bit sad and lost when I took them home at the end :laugh: They keept looking around as ifthey were wondering why there were there :laugh: I did miss them but surprisingly not as much as I thought I would.

dougal Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Three years when we lived overseas and he was too old to come with us. He stayed with my mum. We missed him terribly, but he knew mum and seemed to cope. I don't think my cockers would cope at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huski Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 (edited) Six weeks, when I was in Europe - I was living at home so my mum looked after the puppies :) They have been in boarding kennels for up to three weeks at one time too.

♪♫LMBC♫♪ Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Most I've been away from Darcy was probably almost 2 weeks in 2010 when I went to Tassie, and I'll be leaving him again in a few days for a 10 day cruise. He stays with my parents, he's been going to their place since he was a bub, he had his first overnight stay there when he was about 6 months old and I was so worried even though I knew he'd be fine...it was only one night too Mum loves him to bits and spoils him rotten, and he has a playmate there too, our old boy who pretends he doesn't like him but will secretly have a tug of war when he thinks we're not watching :laugh: Mum sends me regular updates on how he is, usually, but this cruise coming up will be my first time overseas and I will have no phone so I'm a bit nervous about that, but really I know he will be fine. Apparently he usually forgets that I've even left once I'm gone :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grizabella Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 A day is the most I've been away from Bella so far, but will be going away for three days in April which will be good practice for when I'm away for two weeks in July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simply Grand Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 For future trips my 3 will go to kennels together and I'm sure will be just fine, tho I will miss them like crazy!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vehs Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 5.5 weeks when we went on holiday last year, usually I've kept it to 2 weeks He stayed with the parentals which is good because they have 3 people working all different hours so he gets a lot of attention and in door time. He's also had one week at his own house with a friend house sitting We've got another 2 week holiday coming up and the parentals have said they won't have him at their place (I'm sure they are stirring) so I just told them one of them would have to move into my place! hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
