Our son is a new father of a bouncing baby boy, who they've named Younger Lee Gage Mann. This new life is in Montana, a mere 1883 miles from our home which might as well be a million. We're desperate to see this new grandbaby and be part of his life, and then the dilema. We are beginning a plan to go there and then there's the Mann K-9 brigade, Bitsy (the princess), Baxter (in the pic above), Shorty the old mann, and Gunner, the Christmas dog at my blog. I love these guys, but they sure do affect every aspect of your life, if you want to travel, you have to find them a place to stay that doesn't break the bank or take them with you. Taking with only works when camping, and we've not done that with Gunner yet (perish the thought). So checking around, a minimum $20 per day per dog, that's 4 x $20, or $80.00 per day for a minimum 10 days, $800 to board these fuzzy chillens. I just can't figure it out, but I'll be working on it. With the cost of gasoline, boarding the fuzz and eating and sleeping, It will be 2009 before we can save up enough....any thoughts?

Yikes!! That is a big price to pay... however, CONGRATULATIONS on your new grandchild!! How exciting! I know you must be itching to get out there. I wish I had a good idea, but other then the kennel, all I could think about is a trusted friend/neighbor or perhaps hiring a pet sitter to come over twice a day or so... my prayers will be with you, and that you can hold that baby in your arms soon!
